Highly unlikely, all things considered. Well, that much is a given. Littlefinger is Littlefinger. He's only in it for himself. If sticking with Robert ends with him becoming dragon fodder, he's going to bail as soon as he can get away with it. I'm not sure High Medieval-tech levels of...

Disclaimer: I do not own A Song of Ice and Fire it is owned by G.R.R. Martin. Return of Valyria Chapter 7 The bells of the Great Sept rang dolorous notes across the city of King's Landing, and while he didn't consider himself a particularly superstitious man, Jon Arryn wondered if such men...

Disclaimer: I do not own A Song of Ice and Fire it is owned by G.R.R. Martin. Return of Valyria Chapter 6 The gates of Meereen hung open, allowing legion after legion to march into the city unchallenged. The Meereenese looked on with a mix of fear and resignation as rank after rank of...

Disclaimer: I do not own A Song of Ice and Fire it is owned by G.R.R. Martin. Return of Valyria Chapter 5 The initial Volantene advance north up the Rhoyne beyond the Selhoru quickly turned disastrous. Barely a month into the advance, at the ruined Rhoynar city of Chroyane, Captain Vargelos...

Pretty much this, yes. The Valyrians probably know about them already, if only in passing. They did have dealing with the North before, or rather, the Kingdom of Winter. House Stark did buy 'Ice' from Valyria. And while Andals in general and the maesters in particular have a tendency to...

Disclaimer: I do not own A Song of Ice and Fire it is owned by G.R.R. Martin. Return of Valyria Chapter 4 As it was, it took about a month for Volantis to finish its preparations for war to reclaim its ancestral holdings. Given their primacy on the Rhoyne Front, with the Freehold providing...

Pretty much, yes. The Valyrians won't argue Aerys and Rhaegar got what they deserved, hell, Jae would probably have sent assassins after them herself, had Valyria returned a decade or so earlier. They were stains on Targaryen honor, black marks even worse than the likes of Baelor the Foolish...

That said, Catelyn Stark is going to be an issue. Well, the fact that she's married to a Stark and thus technically no longer a Tully means she probably gets a pass, but she does have relatives in Riverrun. And Hoster was pretty much a self-interested participant in BLAST, maybe even long...

If Ned plays his cards right, then the North wouldn't have to worry about having to face off against Valyria at all. As mentioned in passing, the Forty Families agree that Aerys and Rhaegar both got theirs. If not for Tywin murdering Aegon and Rhaenys just to make himself look big and bad...

Disclaimer: I do not own A Song of Ice and Fire it is owned by G.R.R. Martin. Return of Valyria Chapter 3 "There is nothing really for us to discuss on what choice to make." Aerarro said as he sat with his fellow Triarchs of Volantis in a private room. "Having already publicly submitted...

Maegor might be persuaded to just send them into exile. The Senate wouldn't really make hay over granting them a land title in the Great Grass Sea, though they'll be expected to participate in cleaning out the Dothraki. Both are possible. IIRC, while uncommon, Valyrians canonically...

Aegon would almost certainly be killed, maybe offered a chance to die with honor, i.e. suicide. Dunno about Rhaena, TBH, could go in various ways. The children...well, Maegor would be tempted to kill them, but they are legitimate Targaryen children, and with Valyria back, there are certain...

This is, the Targaryens of Dragonstone never really stopped seeing themselves as Valyrians. They used Valyrian names, continued to speak High Valyrian among themselves, and even continued the practice of brother-sister marriage whenever they could. In fact, a lot of their troubles always...

Jaehaerys is respected, but he also gave a little too many concessions to the Andals. His own misogyny, with the especially egregious case of his granddaughter, Princess Rhaenys, would not have made him friends with female dragonlords. That he favored Andal lordlings like Otto Hightower...

Yeah, the Targaryen kings most highly-regarded by the Valyrians are Aegon the Conqueror and Maegor the Cruel. Had Valyria returned in the latter's reign, Maegor would only have needed to ask to get young and hot-blooded dragonlords mounting up for Westeros. Feudal lords abandoning his cause...

Disclaimer: I do not own A Song of Ice and Fire it is owned by G.R.R. Martin. Return of Valyria Chapter 2 The return of Valyria was heralded elsewhere by portents and omens for good and ill. In Volantis the Great, Eldest Daughter of Valyria, the sacred flames within the Temple of the Lord of...

Disclaimer: I do not own A Song of Ice and Fire it is owned by G.R.R. Martin. Return of Valyria Chapter 1 In a chamber located high in the Palace of the Freeholders, the Triarchs of the Valyrian Freehold sat around a large, round table of polished wood. Large, open windows looked out over the...

Disclaimer: I do not own A Song of Ice and Fire it is owned by G.R.R. Martin. Return of Valyria Prologue The first sign that something had gone terribly wrong was a blinding flash of light, backlighting the dragon and its rider as they rode high in the sky, on patrol over the waters of the...
