“Against all that, Rhaenyra’s advantages were few. Some older lords might yet recall the oaths they had sworn when she was made Princess of Dragonstone and named her father’s heir. There had been a time when she had been well loved by highborn and commons alike, when they had cheered her as the Realm’s Delight. Many a young lord and noble knight had sought her favor then … though how many would still fight for her, now that she was a woman wed, her body aged and thickened by six childbirths, was a question none could answer. Though her half brother had looted their father’s treasury, the princess had at her disposal the wealth of House Velaryon, and the Sea Snake’s fleets gave her superiority at sea. And her consort Prince Daemon, tried and tempered in the Stepstones, had more experience of warfare than all their foes combined. Last, but far from least, Rhaenyra had her dragons.”

Left to right: Princess Rhaenys Targaryen (the Queen That Never Was), Rhaena Targaryen, Baela Targaryen, Prince Daemon Targaryen, Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen, Viserys II Targaryen, Aegon III Targaryen, Jacaerys Velaryon, Lucerys Velaryon, Corlys Velaryon and Joffrey Velaryon.

me? really into the Dance of the Dragons era and its characters? how could you tell :O ?

Day 27 of #teamblackstober, the children bringing Viserys his dragon egg!

n“Viserys’s return did much to lessen the king’s loneliness as well. As a boy Aegon had worshipped his three elder half-brothers, but it was Viserys who shared his bedchamber, his lessons, and his games. “Some part of the king had died with his brother in the Gullet,” wrote Munkun. “It is plain to see that Aegon’s affection for Gaemon Palehair was born of his desire to replace the little brother he had lost, but only when Viserys was restored to him did Aegon seem once more alive and whole.” Prince Viserys once again became King Aegon’s constant companion, as he had been when they were boys together on Dragonstone, whilst Gaemon Palehair was cast aside and forgotten, and even Queen Daenaera was neglected.” Even the Broken King had happy times with his brother and little queen ) Here I decided to draw Viserys tanned and dressed in bright Lysene clothes. I believe that he wore it for some time after returning to Westeros.

The boy threw back his cowl. As the sunlight glittered on the silver-gold hair beneath, King Aegon III began to weep, throwing himself upon this boy in a fierce embrace. Oakenfist’s “treasure” was Viserys Targaryen, the king’s lost brother, the youngest son of Queen Rhaenyra and Prince Daemon, presumed dead since the Battle of the Gullet, and missing for nigh unto five years.

My last drawing for Targaryen Month 2019! I had to draw this touching scene that had me in tears when I first read it.

Aegon had never forgiven himself for abandoning his brother during the Battle in the Gullet, and so Viserys’s return was the only true joy he had in his reign. For the rest of Aegon’s life, Viserys was the only person Aegon ever fully trusted.

“Lord Manderly, pray tell me how old I am, if you would be so good.” “You are ten-and-six today, Your Grace,” Lord Manderly replied. “A man grown. It is time for you to take the governance of the Seven Kingdoms into your own hands.” “I shall,” King Aegon said. “You are sitting in my chair.”

The coldness in his tone took every man in the room aback, Grand Maester Munkun would write years later. Confused and shaken, Torrhen Manderly prised his considerable bulk out of the chair at the head of the council table, with an uneasy glance at Sandoq the Shadow. As he held the chair for the king, he said, “Your Grace, we were speaking of the progress—”

“I will not spend a year upon a horse, sleeping in strange beds and trading empty courtesies with drunken lords, half of whom would gladly see me dead if it gained them a groat. If any man requires words with me, he will find me on the Iron Throne.”

— Aegon III Targaryen, son of Rhaenyra the Realm’s Delight and Daemon Targaryen. King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm.

Queen Daenaera was a happier child, and her sunny nature did much to lighten King Aegon’s gloom…

“It was a broken reign that followed, for Aegon himself was broken. He was melancholy to the end of his days, found pleasure in almost nothing, and locked himself in his chambers to brood for days on end. ”

The Blacks of the Dance of the Dragons

I hate drawing children. Even The “Strong Boys” were a chore (except the twins Baela and Rhaena). I also had trouble with Rhaenyra. I want to redesign her jewelry.

Rhaenyra Targaryen & her children

ᴅᴀɴᴄᴇ ᴏꜰ ᴛʜᴇ ᴅʀᴀɢᴏɴꜱ ᴡᴇᴇᴋ → Day 2: Royal Family Member → QUEEN RHAENYRA TARGARYEN, the lawful heir to King Viserys

“King Viserys is dead, long live King Aegon.” Hearing the cries, some wept whilst others cheered, but most of the smallfolk stared in silence, confused and wary, and now and again a voice cried out, “Long live our queen.”

Prince Aegon was with a paramour when he was found. At first, the prince refused to be a part of his mother’s plans. “My sister is the heir, not me,” he said. “What sort of brother steals his sister’s birthright?” Only when Ser Criston convinced him that the princess must surely execute him and his brothers should she don the crown did Aegon waver.

Rhaenyra heard these terms in stony silence, then asked Orwyle if he remembered her father, King Viserys. “Of course, Your Grace,” the maester answered. “Perhaps you can tell us who he named as his heir and successor,” the queen said, her crown upon her head. “You, Your Grace,” Orwyle replied. And Rhaenyra nodded and said, “With your own tongue you admit I am your lawful queen. Why then do you serve my half brother, the pretender? Tell my half brother that I will have my throne, or I will have his head,” she said, sending the envoys on their way.
