Baelon grew from a newborn into an influential young prince, building popular support while Viserys planned war against Dorne and pursued political marriages. Daemon fled with a dragon egg, Rhaenyra went after him, and Criston Cole faced execution before demanding a trial by combat.
Baelon bonded with Vermithor, gained the dragon’s power, and returned to court as the realm prepared to seize the Stepstones. As Viserys committed to war, Baelon’s family and council navigated succession, alliances, and the cost of fighting.
Baelon united the Ironborn under his rule and committed their fleet to the war in the Stepstones, while Viserys arranged a new marriage and the royal family prepared for conflict. In King’s Landing, Baelon met Laena Velaryon and faced an unexpected golden dragon that seemed eager to accept him.
