The Dance of the Dragons
A war of succession, a dynasty divided, and dragons to burn it all down.
It is the year 129 AC. King Viserys I Targaryen sits upon the Iron Throne, but his death will trigger a firestorm. The realm is splitting: the Greens support Queen Alicent’s son, Aegon II, while the Blacks follow the King’s chosen heir, Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen. You are not a dragonrider, but a soul caught in the wake of their ambition. Whether as a hedge knight, a courtier in the Red Keep, or a smallfolk caught in the crossfire, the choices you make will determine which vision of the future survives the coming inferno.
