Valyria

The shattered heart of the greatest civilization the world has known, where the sea still smokes and demons are said to walk.

The fuller tale

The shattered heart of the Freehold has nothing to say about the Dance of the Dragons except by comparison — every dragon that dies over the Gods Eye or Shipbreaker Bay during the war is a fraction of what the Doom took from Valyria in a single, unexplained night, and the smoking peninsula’s demons, if they are real, have far older grievances than a Targaryen succession dispute. The Dance kills the last of Westeros’s dragons within a generation; Valyria is the reminder of what killed all the rest at once, and why no one — not even the dragonriders burning each other for a chair — ever sails close enough to ask.

The chronicle here

• Rhaenyra and Daemon wed on Dragonstone's shore in the old Valyrian way — over a fresh corpse in Laenor's clothes, while Laenor rows for Essos, alive and free. (S1·E7)

The fallen of this place — if any, they are named here. Spoilers.

No death the chronicle records has come to this ground — or none the maesters have set down.
