The family that Shilly and I will be using is the Glaerys family of Dragonlords, the family crest of which is a Black dragon curled around a Valyrian Steel Sword. They are among the most wealthy and influential of the forty-eight dragon families, due to the wealth they created, and can trace their line back to the beginning of Valyria and the first taming of dragons.

The founder of their line was Glaerys the Smith, the first person to create Valyrian Steel. For that, they have the most extensive forges in the world and their steelwork is the best.

Their seat is Glaermaen, set into the side of one of the Fourteen Flames directly to the south of Valyria itself. An extensive and large compound, built by Glaerys' great-grandson, it sits on one of the largest deposits of dragonglass, even among the Fourteen Flames.

In Valyria Proper, the Glaerys family possesses a large tower, called Glaerys' Spire, which is where they conduct their trade and maintain their seat in the Senate.

Their ancestral weapon is "Dragonheart," a large claymore that was the first weapon ever built by Glaerys the Smith.

The current head of the family is Saelor Glaerys, along with his wife, Laerys, and their four children, all young adults: Lyrenn, one of the most skilled dragonriders alive; Jaehara, a beauty of great renown; Khaelor, a talented warrior; and Eryla, an aspiring bloodmage.
