The Evermore Grimoire: Beings

House Targaryen was a noble family of Valyrian descent who once ruled the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. They were also one of the forty dragon-lords of the Valyrian Freehold, an empire that rose in Essos and dominated much of the known world. Due to their mastery of dragons, and thus sorcery, they had no real opposition to contend with. Using dragon-fire and magic, they built their grand capital city of Valyria, which was unmatched in quality in the east. However it wasn’t until King Aegon I ascended the thrown that he decided to conquer all of Westeros with his sister-wives Rhaenys and Visenya. Using the last three last living dragons of the world, they first flew over the continent and mapped it on Dragonstone in the Painted Table, which was engulfed in war between seven dynasties.

The Evermore Mythology: Creatures

Dragons are powerful, mythical creatures, typically depicted as gigantic, flying serpents with magical, spiritual, or supernatural qualities in various mythologies. Most dragons are distinguished between the winged Western dragons (derived from various European folk traditions) or Eastern dragons (derived from the Chinese “lóng” dragon). Western or European dragons are depicted as large reptiles that often possess bat-like wings alongside the common ability to breathe fire. Dragons from the Eastern mythology are more snake-like and generally do not have wings. They are commonly said to possess some form of magic or other supernatural powers, and are often associated with wells, rain, and rivers. They are also associated with wisdom and often said to be wiser than humans and can live for centuries.
