All the known characters Rhaegar Targaryen beat during the tourneys.
Prince Rhaegar’s prowess was unquestioned, but he seldom entered the lists. He never loved the song of swords the way that Robert did, or Jaime Lannister. It was something he had to do, a task the world had set him. He did it well, for he did everything well. That was his nature. But he took no joy in it. Men said that he loved his harp much better than his lance.
Join us in the upcoming Targaryen November! Here is the list of prompts.
Robert had been jesting with Jon and old Lord Hunter as the prince circled the field after unhorsing Ser Barristan in the final tilt to claim the champion’s crown. Ned remembered the moment when all the smiles died, when Prince Rhaegar Targaryen urged his horse past his own wife, the Dornish princess Elia Martell, to lay the queen of beauty’s laurel in Lyanna’s lap. He could see it still: a crown of winter roses, blue as frost.  Â
- Eddard XV, aGoT
Upper row: Horton Redfort, Jon Arryn, Robert Baratheon, Eon Hunter
Middle row: Brandon Stark, Lyanna Stark, Benjen Stark, Ned Stark
Lower row: Jon Connington, Arthur Dayne, Ashara Dayne, Elia Martell
Jaime snapped. “…good men every one.” “Dead men, every one.”
an anon asked for daynes….. here’s some daynes….. ashara arfur gerry and baby neddy
it’s unlikely lyanna gave birth 10 minutes before ned got there. she probably spent a few unwell days to weeks with jon before she died which means arthur dayne probably rocked jon to sleep a few times while lyanna rested. arthur’s best friend just died and the children he watched grow up now it’s him standing between his friend’s last child and the man who wants to murder them all (jon’s First uncle portraying the role of his father)
house dayne lore when,,,
i gave them all glittery star-like freckles because i thought it'd be cute and i love when star-themed characters have freckles like that
Elia: Jon, how bad does it have to get before we intervene....
racebent + Kim Taeri as Lyanna Stark, Idris Elba as Arthur Dayne

A Wolf in the South
Lyanna Stark chafes under the strain of her impending marriage to Robert Baratheon. Since the Tourney at Harrenhal, her last real breath of freedom, her father has kept her under watch. While in the Riverlands preparing for Brandon’s upcoming marriage, an incident drives Lyanna further south and into the unknown.
(in which Lyanna is not caught by Rhaegar at the Tourney at Harrenhal and the Rebellion goes very differently)
The finest knight I ever saw was Ser Arthur Dayne, who fought with a blade called Dawn, forged from the heart of a fallen star.

The finest knight I ever saw was Ser Arthur Dayne, who fought with a blade called Dawn, forged from the heart of a fallen star. They called him the Sword of the Morning, and he would have killed me but for Howland Reed.

put some color on those old ones
