"Those are brave men—let's go kill them." - Tyrion Lannister
The Broken King, Aegon III, has died, and with him goes the last shadows of the bitter civil war the singers and scribes call the Dance of Dragons. Though Aegon the Unlucky did what he could to put right the realm after the Dance and the disastrous era of Regents that followed it, Westeros still remains politically uncertain even in a Westeros without "greens" and "blacks."
The long time Hand of the King, Prince Viserys, has chosen not to insist on a Regency period, giving Westeros it's youngest ruling monarch during the Targaryen reign. Most say that the dragons have all died out, and many question whether or not the young King Daeron can lead the Targaryen dynasty into a new future--or if it is time for some Great Lords to chance becoming Kings once more.
If it's time for a revival of the game of thrones.
