[COLOR=DARKGRAY][indent]It had been sixty-five years since the civil war come to be known as the Dance had ended. King Daeron II, son of King Aegon the Unworthy, son of King Viserys II, son of Queen Rhaenyra, reigns in times turned turbulent once more. The lechery of the Unworthy’s rule and his son’s attempts to root out the filth has turned house against house, even family against family. 

In what had otherwise been a mild spring turned to pleasant summer, Daemon Waters rallied banners of unhappy lesser lords and named himself rightful heir to the Iron Throne as Daemon Blackfyre. Daemon was seventeen years Daeron’s junior. It was the long-simmering rumors that the King had been an illegitimate child borne of the Dragonknight’s seed and not of Aegon’s that lended any credence to why Daemon should inherit over his elder brother - bastard or not. 

Early in 196AC, Daemon Blackfyre and Aegor “Bittersteel” Rivers, fled King’s Landing with the aid of Quentyn “Fireball” Ball, the Red Keep’s master-at-arms. Few would have found it sudden. Lords had approached Daemon for several years following his father’s death. Some took offense at removal from their posts, others passed over in favor of the Dornish who grew in numbers.[/indent][/COLOR]
