Description

located on the island of the same name at the entrance to Blackwater Bay. Located below the Dragonmont, Dragonstone was the original seat of House Targaryen in Westeros, and had been colonized and fortified as the westernmost outpost of the Valyrian Freehold.

Twelve years prior to the Doom of Valyria, Aenar Targaryen relocated his family, their five dragons, and all their wealth to Dragonstone, after his maiden daughter Daenys predicted the destruction of the Valyrian Peninsula. In Valyria their rivals saw this as an act of cowardly surrender. Four of the dragons brought from Valyria eventually died on Dragonstone, leaving only Balerion. However, two eggs hatched and Vhagar and Meraxes were born.

Aegon the Conquerer planned his invasion of Westeros from the Chamber of the Painted Table. At the start of the conquest, Aegon called bannermen and allies to Dragonstone, including the Velaryons of Driftmark, the Celtigars of Claw Isle, the Bar Emmons of Sharp Point, and the Masseys of Stonedance. Aegon and his sisters, Visenya and Rhaenys, conquered six of the Seven Kingdoms, with only Dorne remaining independent.
After Aegon's Conquest of the Seven Kingdoms, Dragonstone in the newly-created Crownlands served as the seat of their heir apparent, known as the Prince of Dragonstone. After Robert Baratheon overthrew the Targaryens, he gave the castle to his brother Stannis, creating House Baratheon of Dragonstone.
Dragonstone, though old and strong, commands the allegiance of only a few lesser lords whose islands are too thinly populated to provide any great numbers of troops, although they have some naval strength.
