FEATURED ARTICLE



House Velaryon is an ancient and proud house of Valyrian origin. The Velaryons
left Valyria before the Targaryens did, and settled on Driftmark in the narrow
sea, where a seat by the same name was constructed. They filled their coffers
from trade in the narrow sea and Blackwater Bay, and ruled the middle reaches of
the narrow sea together with their allies of House Celtigar, while House
Targaryen supported them with their dragons.

The Velaryons and Targaryens frequently intermarried, and so the Velaryons
gained a prominent place at the Targaryen court. Lord Daemon Velaryon became the
first master of ships during Aegon's Conquest, and so many Velaryon's followed
him in that office that at times the office seemed hereditary. The house counts
several prominent members. Lady Alyssa Velaryon became the wife and queen of
King Aenys I Targaryen, and ruled as regent for her son, Jaehaerys I, during his
minority. Lord Corlys Velaryon, also known as the Sea Snake, gained wealth and
fame by making nine great voyages by ship. He used his wealth to build a new
seat, High Tide, replacing the damp castle Driftmark. During the Dance of the
Dragons, Corlys gave support to Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen, his former
daughter-in-law, and played an important role in war's end. His bastardborn
grandson – or son, depending on the source – Alyn Velaryon, inherited the rule
of High Tide and rose to fame when he was victorious in the Stepstones, earning
the name "Oakenfist". Together with King Daeron I Targaryen, his cousin, he
planned the an attack on Dorne, and played an important role in the conquest
that followed. Read more…
