Aegon's Conquest (1 янв 2 г. до нашей эры – 1 янв 1 г.)

Описание:

Aegon the Conqueror invades Westeros. In two years' time he subdues and unites six of the seven kingdoms of Westeros under his banner and constructs a new capital city at King's Landing. Dorne remains independent, however.

When Aegon invaded the Riverlands, King Harren Hoare summoned the river lords to defend Harrenhal, but they instead rose against the Hoares under the leadership of Lord Edmyn Tully of Riverrun. One by one the river lords joined their strength to Aegon, with Edmyn being the first to do so. Suddenly outnumbered, King Harren the Black took refuge in his supposedly impregnable stronghold. Aegon met Harren at the gates, under a peace banner to parley. Descending from the sky atop Balerion, Aegon used dragonflame against the great castle, and Harren and his sons died in the burning of Harrenhal.
The next day Aegon accepted an oath of fealty from Edmyn Tully, and named him Lord Paramount of the Trident. The other river lords did homage as well, to Aegon as king and Edmyn as liege lord of the riverlands. The melted swords of Harren's ironborn were sent to the Aegonfort.

Word of King Harren's end having reached Storm's End, King Argilac Durrandon of the Stormlands rode north to meet his foes in the field. After being advised through Rhaenys's reconnaissance, Orys Baratheon fortified a strong position on the hills south of Bronzegate and waited for Argilac's stormlanders.
In what became known as the Last Storm, Argilac attacked the Baratheon and Targaryen forces during a howling gale. The Storm King and his knights broke through Orys's center during their third charge, but they then faced Queen Rhaenys. Meraxes's dragonflame killed the personal guard of Argilac, who was thrown from the saddle. Orys offered him to yield, but Argilac cursed him instead. After Orys slew the wounded Storm King in single combat, the stormlanders threw down their swords and fled.

Argilac's daughter, Argella Durrandon, barred the gates of Storm's End and declared herself Storm Queen. The castle's soldiers, however, eventually delivered her to Orys's camp. Orys took Argella as his wife and chose the words and sigil of House Durrandon for the new House Baratheon. Aegon named Orys the Lord Paramount of the Stormlands and made him Lord of Storm's End.

King Mern IX Gardener of the Reach and King Loren Lannister of the Westerlands joined their armies together to face the Targaryen forces but they were defeated when Aegon, and his sister wives, Rhaenys and Visenya took to the skies on their dragons, Balerion, Merxes, and Vhagar and laid waste to the armies with dragon fire in an event which would come to be known as the Field of Fire. Mern IX Gardener and all of his kin were killed, resulting in Highgarden, the lands of the Reach, and the title of Warden of the South being granted to Harlen Tyrell, who had served as steward to house Gardener. King Loren Lannister survived the Field of Fire but surrendered his crown to Aegon, resulting in Aegon allowing him to keep his lands and serve as Warden of the West.

Following the burning of Harrenhal and the Field of Fire, King Torrhen Stark, not wishing the same fate on his own people negotiated with Aegon and surrendered his crown for the title of Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North. He came to be known as "the King who Knelt" for this action.

The day of Aegon's coronation by the High Septon in Oldtown becomes the first day of Aegon's reign, beginning 1 AC.
