Daemon Blackfyre awoke a century before his death, claimed Glutton, and was welcomed back into House Targaryen as Aemon’s surviving son. After winning a tourney and refusing a plot against his family, he joined the royal dragons in punishing the Stone Crows, while Alysanne secured Jeyne Arryn’s inheritance and Gael sought him out.
Daemon Blackfyre left King’s Landing on a progress through the Seven Kingdoms, gathering followers and intervening in conflicts along the way. In the Vale, he led the lords in defeating the Mountain Clans at Moon Gate Keep and prepared to continue the campaign.
Daemon toured the Vale and Riverlands, confronted visions of a possible future, and used his dragons to intervene in local conflicts and raids. The party left Seagard and continued north through the Riverlands, where Daemon checked House Haigh’s abuses at Sevenstreams.
Daemon traveled from the Riverlands through the North and Westerlands, gathering allies and aiding the Night’s Watch and Lannisport. At Highgarden, he encountered cool Reach nobles and signs of tensions surrounding Mathos Tyrell while Dorne’s movements remained unaddressed.
Daemon traveled from Highgarden through Oldtown and the Stormlands to King's Landing, exposing slave traders and gathering allies while Grey Ghost joined his dragons. Back at court, Jaehaerys made Daemon Master of Whisperers and authorized his Dark Blade Guard, leaving him to balance his new power with Daemon Targaryen and the royal family.
Daemon built alliances while investigating threats to the realm, then celebrated the anniversary tournament and crowned Gael Queen of Love and Beauty. As Jaehaerys organized the Seven Kingdoms Joint Fleet, Daemon agreed to marry Gael and resolved to protect his family and prepare for future dangers.
Daemon Blackfyre helped assemble the Joint Fleet, defeat the Triarchy across the Stepstones, and stop Obara Sand’s attacks on the Stormlands. The fleet then captured Tyrosh, where Selos fled and the city’s nobles offered to surrender him.
After returning from Tyrosh, Daemon married Gael and received the Crab Claw Peninsula to develop into a new domain. He weathered a flood, secured local allies, and challenged Otto Hightower’s efforts to undermine his authority before leaving the Red Keep with Daemon Targaryen and Rhaenyra.
Daemon consolidated Dragon’s Roost Port, secured its trade routes, and turned his ambitions toward building an empire. After defeating Craghas Drahar in a duel, he spared him and made him commander of the fleet, leaving Craghas to await the fleet’s arrival on Dragonstone.
