The Tyrian senator was sitting next to Laerys and heard her grumbling. "A few dragons?! We should burn those savages alive with the full might of Valyria for this!"

Naelassa shook her head. "Waste that much effort on savages? My, Vaehna, is your family really afraid of turtle worshiping riverfolk?" She chuckled, which prompted other Dragonlords to join in.

Vaehna Tyria cursed Naelassa under her breath for this offense.

Maegor Targaryen, one of the senators, spoke up. "Lady Laerys is right, a few dragonlords will be more than enough to burn their ships and their army, freeing up the colony."

House Targaryen was considered a minor Dragonlord family because unlike Houses like Glaerys and Aeksion, they didn't have direct male descent from one of the original 48 Dragonlords. They gained the title of Dragonlord family when House Zobrie died off a millennium ago. House Zobrie was from the line of the original Dragonlord: Aenar the Black. House Targaryen also claimed descent from Aenar the Black, though through the female line. As such they took the Zobries' place in the senate when there were no more of them and gained the title of Dragonlords. They also gained possession of Aenar's ancestral sword, Blackfyre.
