Rhaegal would grow up to become an apparently great man, and his influence and power spread across Pentos, which had fallen into hard times and was severely in debt to the Iron Bank. Rhaegal was brought by the Pentoshi back to Essos, where he given a small plot of land to rule over. And the Morrigens have ruled the Iron Throne ever since, with Brella being their 9th ruler.īut what of the Targaryens? Days before Aegon died, he had a son named Rhaegal unbeknownst to the rest of Westeros. This marked the downfall of the Lannisters (they would become extinct soon after). Morrigen captured King's Landing and installed himself as the King. This led to a massive uproar and rebellion, led by the ambitious Richard Morrigen, an upstart lord from the Vale. Tion truly crossed a line when he captured the High Septon and drowned him. Tion 'The Lion of Driftwood Hall' committed atrocities across his kingdom, including the drowning of Lady Paramount Brienne of Tarth, ruler of the Stormlands. His son, Tion, would travel to the Iron Isles to try to understand their way of life he returned to King's Landing believing in the false Drowned God. King Tommen, as a result of wounds he received in a later Ironborn rebellion and the death of his wife, became a drunkard and later drunk himself to death. With Aegon's death, and the other Targaryen, Daenerys, lost in the Dothraki Sea, it was assumed the Targaryens were extinct. While fleeing in the Stormlands, Aegon would be killed by Loras Tyrell. A host from the Reach shattered Aegon's army at the doorstep of King's Landing, and his campaign collapsed. With all these threats eliminated, Tommen could focus on Aegon, who led a force to besiege King's Landing. Another contender to the throne, Stannis Baratheon, led a campaign in the North against the Boltons he was killed in battle by Roose Bolton, and his rebellion ended with his daughter and heir being imprisoned and later killed Tommen (resulting in the extinction of House Baratheon). A rebellion in the North had been put down right before Tommen became king, resulting in the extinction of House Stark and the ascension of House Bolton to rulers of the North, and an Ironborn rebellion fell apart when their leader, Euron I, was killed by sickness. At this time, the realm was deeply fractured, and ruled by a child king named Tommen Lannister.
