The Valyrian Freehold, the greatest empire that Planetos has ever seen. It was founded by the 48 legendary Dragonlords of Valyria after the First Ghiscari War and has endured and grown for the past 7000 years. It has expanded from its majestic capital in the middle of the Fourteen Flames, conquered their old rival of Ghiscar and made many colonies to the west of the peninsula.

With the power of dragons at their beck and call, the Valyrians have become akin to gods among men. No one is able to stand against them. They are the dominant nation in the continent of western half of Essos. The only real challenge for Valyria is itself, as the Freehold has more than its fair share of infighting, political plots and intrigue. The Senate rules over the vast empire, with the 48 Dragonlord Houses making up the ruling patrician class. Below them Valyrian-blooded lesser nobles, then non-Valyrians and at the very bottom of their society are their many slaves.

It is 950 years before Aegon Targaryen's conquest of Westeros. Tensions between the Freehold and the Rhoynish principalities have sparked a war. The Valyrian colony of Volon Therys and the Rhoynish city of Sar Mell march against one another. The Blood of the Dragon will war against the Children of Mother Rhoyne for the first time. Fire against Water. Meanwhile, the Dragonlords play at their game of thrones in the city of Valyria, vying for power and dominance over the Senate. Will the fire of Valyria be extinguished by the powerful currents of Mother Rhoyne or will Valyria crumble under the weight of its own infighting?
