Also, for how long have the Iron Islands been a sovereign kingdom? Was this granted to them by a predecessor of Aegon X, or, did they declare their freedom, so to speak, and no one has bothered to bring them to heel yet?

Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen II and Princess Baela Targaryen II

Both sisters sat quietly within the main hall of Dragon's Rest. They looked at one another from across the table at which that were seated, still reeling from the news of the death of King Aegon X. Their Uncle, a good man, and a kind family member, had died under mysterious circumstances. Perhaps it was a wasting sickness, a bad fall, or worse, but whatever it was, the King was dead, and a true problem had arisen. Prince Daenys was disinherited from the Throne, as stated in the King's last will and testament. This left a bit of a problem for the Seven Kingdoms, as there was no longer a direct heir to the throne, a male heir that was not distantly related, and truth be told, a bit of a surprise, as both Rhaenyra and Baela, at least in their eyes, were the closet living relatives to the King, and by all rights, could possibly be next in line for the throne. Only to make matters worse, news had only just arrived of both Prince Daenys declaring himself King, and Lord Tyget Crakehall, a distant outlying branch of the Targaryen family tree, also naming himself King. it was indeed troubling news all around.

"Rhae, you must assert your claim to the throne... you, and you alone have the most rightful claim to our family's seat." Baela spoke to Rhaenyra, while toying with a ring upon her right hand. "You can not afford to sit any longer. The longer you wait, the harder and harder it will be for you to rightfully take the crown of our forefathers." Baela's voice was full of concern and earnest. She loved her elder sister, the two very close, and had shared all their life together. She would stand, walking over to the fireplace, where Lord's Mooton and Buckwell sat. A regional council had been called, and all the Lords, great and small, had come, to hear what the two princesses had to say. Each man had sworn oaths of loyalty to these two Targaryen's, and to the throne itself. But, without a rightful ruler, these men answered to Rhaenyra first, and to the Beala second.

"Baela, I appreciate your honesty, and your tenacity, but, I feel it is best that we tread carefully. Look at us, we are but a small piece of a greater whole. I mean not to offend, but, my loyal bannermen, we have but two, maybe three thousand soldiers between all of us. The Gold Cloaks can muster more men than we can. Even with our Dragons, we are still at a disadvantage. And I know, you all want me to just claim the throne, but, it is best to know who holds the capital, and who we can trust in the weeks and months to come." Rhaenyra stated plainly to her gathered banners and sister. She sighed, looking at a painting of her family when they all were alive. Rhaenyra shook her head, pushing away the thoughts of sadness within her, and turning back to her council.

"I have great faith in all of you. You have been loyal bannermen to my family for many years, and to me for these past three. It was by your own hands and wealth we were able to recover Dark Sister and Blackfyre, my family's fabled Valyrian Steel swords. It was with you that we have rebuilt our lands, from the roads that ensure swift and safe travel, to the canals that water our crops, the walls and towers of stone that guard our families and small folk, the few mines that generate our metals for coin and arms, and above all, the great nest that houses our Dragons. You have built so much, have earned great renown and honor by these feats. Trust me, and my sister, when we say that we will do what is best for all of us that sit here in this great hall. I believe in all of us." Rhaenyra spoke rousingly to her banners, to which all in attendance rose up and cheered, nodding their approval for their Dragon Princesses.

By the days end, three letters were prepared, written to the powerful Lords of the respective regions that could hold sway over the Iron Throne. The first was addressed to Lord Crakehall, the second to Lord Tyrell, and the last, to the Captain of Gold Cloaks in Kings Landing. Lord Crakehall was family, even if he was distantly related, and his help would surely be needed. The Tyrell's controlled the bread basket of the Kingdom, and they had been staunch loyalists to the Targaryen's for many years, and lastly, the Gold Cloaks were sworn to keep the peace, and to the Iron Throne. They would be able to tell Rhaenyra and Baela if the city was safe to enter, let alone visit. The two sisters worked together, with the input of their bannermen, to draft these letters, ensuring that they were appropriate and sent off to who they needed to be with.

"Have patience, this will be of use to us. We can ill afford to rush into this without knowing what lays before us all." Rhaenyra spoke to her sister, as they sent out the letters via ravens, and to gather their forces in the time it would take for the respective answers to return.

Lord Tyget Crakehall

To the honorable and powerful Lord Paramount Tyget Crakehall,

It is with great respect that we write to you, Great Uncle Tyget, loyal bannerman of House Targaryen, and rightful ruler of the Westerlands. It has been a few years since we've last seen each other, not since the death of Prince Jaehaerys and Princess Visenya, our parents. Our parents have always spoken highly of you, especially of how honorable and loyal you are. What is more, they said that we could always count on you, when a time of need should arise for either one of us. And it is with this, that we write to you, Lord Tyget Crakehall. It is said that you respect the laws of the Iron Throne, and that you were always a man who held his honor above all else.

I know that it sounds impetuous of us to remind you of the precedent set down by Queen Daenerys and King Aegon VI, allowing for female heirs to inherit the Iron Throne as equally as a male heir. We are all of the same blood, Great Uncle, but, through succession, myself, Rhaenyra and Baela, are far closer in the line of succession, than you are. I know that you are putting forth your name for King, as you have the best interests for the Kingdom at heart, and as such, are merely trying your best to keep the throne from falling into the hands of the monster, The Mad Prince Daenys, or other people who would dare usurp the Iron Throne from its rightful heir.

Great Uncle, please, rescind your claim onto the Iron Throne, and help its rightful heir's sit upon it, and keep the peace that has prospered for so many years. If we do not unite, if we choose to remain divided, the whole of the Seven Kingdoms will descend into chaos and war. You have the men and resources that can either mend the damage left behind by King Aegon X's death, or tear our home asunder. We must unite to defend the realm from its true enemies, Prince Daenys, the Iron Born, and any else who would seek to break the Throne's peace. Please, we humbly beseech you, in the blood that we share, the love we had for the King, that you do what is right, and lay down your claim to the throne, no good will come of this.

House Targaryen is Fire and Blood, and we will defend our rightful claim to the throne, by the blood in our veins, and the fire of our twin dragons.

With Love and Respect,
Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen II and Princess Baela Targaryen II

Lord Garland Tyrell

Lord Hand Garland Tyrell, Warden of the South,

My Lord Hand, Lord Tyrell, you served faithfully and honorably to our Uncle, King Aegon X. It was by your wise and careful stewardship that King Aegon X and yourself were able to usher in an era of unparalleled peace and prosperity for the Kingdom. You were always there for our Uncle, and have been for our family. You have proved time, and time again, your loyalty to House Targaryen. Mother and Father always spoke highly of your and your family. They told us of how your family is to be counted among the greatest ally's of House Targaryen. Your family controls the bread basket of our great Kingdom, ensuring that food fills the bellies of all, great and small alike, and that there is always a bastion against the ravages of winter when the need is most dire.

It is thus that we write to you, our esteemed ally and friend. We know that our claim to the Iron Throne is just and righteous. My sister and I have the sworn duty to our family to ensure that the Iron Throne remains in the rule of its rightful heir, and that peace and prosperity always remain in place for all of the people of the Seven Kingdoms. The Mad Prince Daenys is disinherited, and by rights, so are the claims of his son. Both are know where to be seen, nor his lady wife. Lord Garland Tyrell, please, help us do the right thing, and ensure that the Iron Throne passes to Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen II, so that the hard fought peace that so many died for in the past is not in vain.

Lord Hand, it is also our wish to meet with you in person, in order to talk as equals, as friends of old. We have long counted on not only the loyalty of your House, but your friendship as well. Let us together ensure a continued era of peace rules over the Kingdoms. We both know the Kingdom will bleed, we both know from the history of the past, that a war can not be afforded, especially one that would no doubt involve dragons. We do not wish to see anymore blood shed, or for innocent lives to be lost. We are all oath bound and honor bound to the laws set down by the Kings of the past, and those of King Aegon X.

With all due respect and honors,
Rhaenyra Targaryen II and Baela Targaryen II

Ser Willas Tyrell

Ser Willas Tyrell, Commander of the Gold Cloaks, Kings Landing,

Ser Willas, Commander of the City Watch, esteemed member of House Tyrell, we write to you in the pursuit of peace and prosperity for the whole of the Kingdom. And it is with these wishes, we have come to you in these most dire of times. With the death of our great King Aegon X, much is uncertain about the future. What can happen, or will happen, rests solely on the shoulders of the men and women whom control the power of arms and men. You are said to be the Commander of the City Watch, the Gold Cloaks. As such, the city's peace and safety rest upon you and your men, especially now with trying times that no doubt beset our great capital.

With the disinheritance of the Mad Prince Daenys, and that of his wife and son, the line of succession for the Iron Throne is in question. My sister and I wish to visit the capital, to see what is to become of our great Kingdom, and for us to pay our respects to our Uncle, King Aegon X. The Iron Throne has served as the seat for the Targaryen line for hundreds of years, with a rightful ruler always justly and rightfully ruling from the Red Keep. We ask if you can ensure our safety within the Capital, that no harm will come of us in Kings Landing if we are to come to our family's ancestral home, to rightfully lay claim to the Iron Throne, and to pay homage to our Lord Uncle, King Ageon X.

Please, let us know what can be done in these trying times.

With respect,
Princess Rhaenyra II and Princess Baela II

  • Lord Mortimer Boggs III

Name: Rhaenyra Targaryen II

Age: 20
Seat: Dragon’s Rest (Formerly Rook’s Rest)
Heir: Younger Sister, Baela Targaryen II

Personality: Princess Rhaenyra is said to be a spitting image of her forbear who held her name before. Much like her ancestor before her, she is just as proud and stubborn as any Targaryen before her, though, unlike some of her family, she possesses a much more forgiving and caring nature, giving her a very charming and likeable nature, at least of that compared to those within her family that make themselves not so easily liked. She is said to be honorable and kind, with a great love for art and poetry. Though by no means a renowned fighter, she is an experienced swordsman and lancer, having been taken under the wing of her father, who thought it best to train his daughter in combat, should the need ever arise.

Biography: Born into a family that arose from the ashes, Rhaenyra was quick to learn from the errors of the past in what had caused the downfall of her family. From a young age, both her and her sister Baela were taught the history of House Targaryen, from its start, to its bloody end, and to the rebirth, each detail taught to instill one resounding message, never take anything for granted. Her parents were brother and sister, married to one another as was done in times of old, regardless of what the faith thought. And while this may have been seen as sinful and dangerous, the results were quite the opposite. Two girls were born, both beautiful, smart, fair, two pieces of Valyrian steel that came forth into perfect form. No signs of cruelty nor madness, it was a sign from the Seven, or even the gods of old, that good can come from anything.

Rhaenyra Targaryen the Second, Princess of House Targaryen, though of course, on a branch of the House that no longer was in the direct line of succession for the Iron Throne, which had since been remade anew, a throne befitting the likes of King Aegon VI and Queen Daenerys Targaryen. Truth be told, she was said to look like Rhaenyra Targaryen the First, a Queen who never was, something that Rhaenyra II took great interest in. Of course, who doesn’t dream of being Queen, of being ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, but, that certainly seemed like a dream that could never be attained, at least so she thought.

When her Great-Uncle, Aegon IX, began searching for wives for his second son, Daenys Targaryen, her parents put her forth as a possible candidate, even though she was just a babe at the time. Such a match we bring the two halves of the family back together, and allow Rhaenyra to be a potential candidate for Queen, if Daenys were to ever become King himself, but such was not meant to be. It was whispered that Daenys was not interested in women, and that he had bestial appetites. Further, it was her father who decided to rescind the offer, once he began to see what Daenys Targaryen was truly like, a future Mad King, much like his forbear King Aerys II was. Even worse, was the fact that this man hated his family, and it would do little good to try and force Rhaenyra unto such a monster as Daenys.

Prince Jaehaerys IV even tried convincing his cousin Aegon IX to allow Rhaenyra to marry Aegon X, but it was quickly laid to rest when Aegon X would not take another wife than his first, adhering to the wishes of the Seven and the High Septon. For a time, Rhaenyra and her sister Baela thought that perhaps that they would end up marrying into the Crakehall family, as they were powerful, and close ally’s to the Targaryen’s, but all talk of that ended with the untimely death of Prince Jaehaerys IV and Princess Visenya III in a ship wreck mere minutes from the safety of Dragon’s Rest, a storm dashing the ship against an outcrop of rocks. It is said that both the young Targaryen’s cried themselves to sleep for many a week afterword.

Since the death of her parents, Rhaenyra has run her household, bringing forth in the last three years record crop harvests and prosperity, using the assets at hand to bring life back into a slogging region that has long been overshadowed by King’s Landing and other great regions of the Kingdom. What’s more, is that two dragons have been slowly growing at Dragon’s Rest, gifts from King Aegon X himself, for the continued love of his family, and as a way of trying to help comfort his nieces. While a relatively small region of power in the grand scheme of things, Rhaenyra and Baela both are sworn vassals of King Aegon X, and thusly, their military strength was but a small portion of a larger Royal Army.

The Princesses currently reside over the Northern Crownlands, holding fealty and control over Maidenpool, House Mooton, Antlers in the West, House Buckwell, Duskendale to the South, House Rykker, and Dyre Den to the East, and with it, all of Crackclaw Point, to include Houses Boggs, Brune, Cave, Crabb, Hardy, and Pyne. Control of all these houses has allowed for both sisters to learn greatly, even if it is only on a small scale, who to run a house, a region, and perhaps, if fate wills it, a kingdom. Still, both women are young, and will no doubt require help in order to have any hope of ascending to the Iron Throne.

Claim To The Throne: Grand-daughter of King Aegon VIII (Daughter to second-born son, Prince Jaehaerys IV and third-born daughter, Princess Visenya III), father to King Aegon IX, Grandfather of King Aegon X. Cousin to Prince Daenys Targaryen.

Appearance:


Name: Baela Targaryen II

Age: 17
Seat: None, currently resides at Dragon’s Rest (Formerly Rook’s Rest)
Heir: None

Personality: Princess Baela Targaryen II is just as proud and stubborn as her elder sister, though, among other things, no two Targaryen’s are the same. Having focused more on combat and war, she is by far the more skilled combatant of the two, excelling at the usage of spear and shield. She is honorable and truthful, striving to achieve excellence in all she partakes in, making her a force to be reckoned with when she believes that she is being cheated, or taught incorrectly. Baela believes is service before self, which co-insides with her belief of integrity first as well, making her a hard woman to lie to, for she has been known to hold grudges against those that would dare lie to her or her kin.

She is honorable and truthful, striving to achieve excellence in all she partakes in, making her a force to be reckoned with when she believes that she is being cheated, or taught incorrectly.

Biography: Much like her sister, Baela Targaryen learned of the rise and fall of her family, and its rebirth. Thanks to the closeness of her age to her elder sister, Baela followed in her footsteps, learning as much as she could, and doing all that she could as well to excel in her studies and learnings. And yet, it was here that she not only shined, but showed how different she was from her elder sister. Where Rhaenyra was a decent sword fighters and horse rider, Baela was a warrior Princess reborn, some saying a reincarnation of Visenya Targaryen of old.

Training with both sword and spear, her skill in combat signed brighter than dragon flame. Something about her, perhaps her zeal for combat, or perhaps the blood that flows in her veins, she was soon one of the best fighters in the Crownlands, if not the greater Southern region. She even came in second at the great tourney of King Aegon X’s 30th name-day celebrations, only losing in the lists to Lord Tywin Crakehall, yet only after twelve passes did she finally lose. Since then, she has continued a good friendship with Lord Tywin.

Like her elder sister, Baela currently cares for a three year old dragon, aptly named Jadefyre, for its deep Jade and Green colored scales. With a trained rider, and a jointly love for flying and the world, Baela Targaryen and Jadefyre are a force to be reckoned with.
