The Valyrian Freehold, the greatest empire that Planetos has ever seen. It was founded by the 48 legendary first 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 almost become gods among men. With no one being able to stand against them even started to believe as much. They are the dominant nation in the continent 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 current 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 their many slaves.

Over the years the Freehold has expanded west as far out as the Narrow Sea, now they turn their attention to the northwestern part of Essos. Border skirmishes have already occurred between the Valyrians and their neighbor, the Rhoynish Principalities.

It is 950 years before Aegon Targaryen's conquest of Westeros. Tension is rising between the Valyrian colony of Volon Therys and the Rhoynish city of Sar Mell and this will soon escalate into a first war between these two peoples. The Blood of the Dragon will war against the Children of Mother Rhoyne for the first time, Fire against Water. Elsewhere, in the city of Valyria the Dragonlords play at their game of thrones, 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?
