LineageDance of the Dragons
The Dance of the Dragons was a brutal Targaryen succession war fought between the factions known as the Blacks and the Greens. Triggered by competing claims to the Iron Throne after the death of King Viserys I Targaryen, the conflict saw dragon battle dragon across Westeros. The war resulted in the deaths of many dragons and members of House Targaryen, permanently weakening the dynasty and accelerating the decline of dragons in the Seven Kingdoms. The events are depicted in Fire & Blood and adapted in House of the Dragon.
