GAME OF THRONES: THE IRON KING
“Robert was the true steel. Stannis is pure iron, black and hard and strong, yes, but brittle, the way iron gets. He'll break before he bends.”
- Donal Noye, to Jon Snow
It is four hundred and five years after the conquest of King Aegon I Targaryen, and over a century since the fall of House Targaryen at the hands of the Baratheon dynasty. Westeros has lapsed into a period of peace and prosperity, and war seems like a very distant prospect, though not all is as amicable as it seems. Sitting the Iron Throne is King Orys Baratheon, second of his name, a man mocked by his adversaries as 'The King of Three Courses' for his love of merrymaking and little else. Whilst Orys feasts and drinks away the wealth of the realm, a conspiracy is afoot. The King's younger brother, the Prince of Dragonstone has gathered the support of many of the major houses of the realm, including that of House Lannister of Casterly Rock and House Florent of Highgarden. Many have speculated that he intends to name himself King, though his brother is none the wiser. Meanwhile another threat looms in the east: House Targaryen has not set foot in Westeros since the defeat of King Aegon VI but times are changing. Whilst Daenerys Targaryen never moved to reclaim her family's titles, instead occupying herself with destroying the slave trade in Slaver's Bay, her descendants are not lack for ambition. Even after a century of Baratheon rule, there are still many who would welcome the return of the Dragon.
