Visenya Targaryen

Many of their people, the Valyrians, had perished in the volcanic cataclysm of the Doom that destroyed Valyria.

Therefore, Aegon and his sister wives, Rhaenys and Visenya, won Westeros with dragons, not popularity.

So Aegon built a dynasty that was held in place by literal firepower, which would have been extremely fragile were it not for the fire-breathing dragons.

This placed a great emphasis on the importance of family for the Targaryens.

Is there anywhere I can get a box score? Here it is.

I mean, Christopher Visenya had the same exact 9 of 15.

Cade also was 9 of 15.

Visenya only had 52

yards on those 9 completions.

3.5

It's pathetic.

I think, yeah.

Yeah, that's

what Visenya had, I believe.

Oh, my God.

This is so nerdy.

Exactly.

So you have Visenya, the older sister, who was stern, severe, and a highly disciplined warrior.

And then Rhaenys, the younger sister, who was much more charismatic, playful, and deeply engaged in politics.

The only outsider allowed in was Orys Baratheon, Aegon's fiercely loyal best friend and a rumored bastard half-brother.

Right, the weapons of mass destruction.

The entire campaign hinges on this.

Visenya rode Vhagar, Rhaenys rid Meraxes, and Aegon rode Balerion the Black Dread.

And we really have to pause and talk about the physical reality of these assets.

Yeah

... because I wanna see Visenya riding the younger Vhagar and wielding Dark Sister.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, and for a century, they just look east at the ashes of their old home.

But then Aegon Targaryen, along with his sister-wives, Visenya and Rhaenys, decide to turn west to Westeros.

It's an act of staggering hubris.

They decide to unify a massive disparate continent that has been divided into seven warring kingdoms for thousands of years.

Where the combined armies of the Reach and the Westerlands face the Targaryens.

Right, tens of thousands of men, the greatest chivalric force ever assembled.

And Aegon, Visenya, and Rhaenys just unleash all three dragons at once.

Four thousand men burned alive in minutes.
