1
00:30:36,011 --> 00:30:39,347
VISERYS: This world wasn't always
so small and petty.
2
00:30:40,182 --> 00:30:44,477
Thousands of years ago,
while the rest of men prayed to gods,
3
00:30:44,561 --> 00:30:46,604
the Valyrians became them.
4
00:30:47,690 --> 00:30:49,816
Through magic or sheer will,
5
00:30:49,900 --> 00:30:53,569
they mastered
the greatest creatures in history.
6
00:30:54,029 --> 00:30:59,033
A horse grants man dominion over the land,
a ship, over the sea.
7
00:30:59,368 --> 00:31:05,707
But dragons gave us the sky,
and everything, and everyone beneath it.
8
00:31:07,251 --> 00:31:11,254
At its height,
my ancestors ruled the known world.
9
00:31:11,505 --> 00:31:14,382
Whatever parts we didn't
weren't worth knowing.
10
00:31:15,092 --> 00:31:19,637
Our capital of Valyria
shamed the magnificent cities of the east,
11
00:31:19,722 --> 00:31:24,559
for hammers and chisels were no match
for dragonfire and sorcery.
12
00:31:25,352 --> 00:31:30,690
It was a city and an empire
built to last until the end of time.
13
00:31:32,192 --> 00:31:33,526
It didn't.
14
00:31:34,486 --> 00:31:37,947
Four hundred years ago,
the Doom fell on Valyria.
15
00:31:38,032 --> 00:31:39,949
Mountains cracked open like eggs.
16
00:31:40,034 --> 00:31:41,826
Lakes and rivers boiled.
17
00:31:41,910 --> 00:31:45,747
Fountains of fire, ash and smoke
spewed from the ground,
18
00:31:45,831 --> 00:31:51,044
so high and so hot
that even dragons burned in flight.
19
00:31:51,837 --> 00:31:56,215
The land splintered,
and the angry sea rushed in.
20
00:31:56,300 --> 00:32:01,679
In hours, the greatest city in history
became history.
21
00:32:02,598 --> 00:32:07,435
But my ancestors didn't burn or drown
with the rest of their race.
22
00:32:07,519 --> 00:32:12,357
Twelve years before the Doom,
despite the sneers of his rivals,
23
00:32:12,441 --> 00:32:16,486
Aenar Targaryen
abandoned the capital with his family.
24
00:32:17,196 --> 00:32:22,241
Legends claim that his daughter foresaw
the destruction of the city in a dream.
25
00:32:22,326 --> 00:32:25,578
More likely, Aenar met with
some mishap at court
26
00:32:25,662 --> 00:32:28,331
and chose exile over execution.
27
00:32:28,916 --> 00:32:34,921
He and House Targaryen slinked away
to a dreary, remote, godforsaken island.
28
00:32:35,923 --> 00:32:37,799
Forsaken no longer.
29
00:32:39,134 --> 00:32:41,719
With arts now lost to the world,
30
00:32:41,804 --> 00:32:45,640
we transformed a tiny outpost
into Dragonstone,
31
00:32:45,891 --> 00:32:48,726
a fortress fit for the last dragonlords.
32
00:32:49,728 --> 00:32:54,607
Then Aenar's descendants settled into it
like a tomb for their lost homeland.
33
00:32:55,859 --> 00:32:57,527
Until Aegon.
34
00:32:58,195 --> 00:32:59,904
When he looked east,
35
00:32:59,988 --> 00:33:03,991
he saw the past, old, tired, dead.
36
00:33:05,077 --> 00:33:06,744
But when he looked west,
37
00:33:07,329 --> 00:33:09,288
he saw the future,
38
00:33:09,373 --> 00:33:13,126
gold in the ground, gold in the fields,
39
00:33:13,210 --> 00:33:16,212
and no dragons in the sky but his.
40
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:21,509
He and his sisters Rhaenys and Visenya
flew over the great continent,
41
00:33:21,593 --> 00:33:24,595
ostensibly visitors to a strange land.
42
00:33:25,180 --> 00:33:27,098
But when Aegon returned,
43
00:33:27,182 --> 00:33:32,228
he ordered construction of a massive table
carved in the shape of Westeros,
44
00:33:32,312 --> 00:33:35,481
with all the notable rivers and mountains
that they had seen.
45
00:33:36,275 --> 00:33:39,444
A personal map of the Seven Kingdoms,
46
00:33:39,528 --> 00:33:43,698
then ruled by seven squabbling families.
47
00:33:44,199 --> 00:33:48,870
House Durrandon held the Stormlands
from their seat at Storm's End,
48
00:33:48,954 --> 00:33:51,289
due south of Dragonstone.
49
00:33:51,373 --> 00:33:56,294
House Hoare of the Iron Islands had
also conquered and enslaved the Riverlands,
50
00:33:56,378 --> 00:33:58,296
and ruled them from Harrenhal,
51
00:33:58,380 --> 00:34:02,175
a monstrous castle
rising on the shore of the Gods Eye.
52
00:34:02,801 --> 00:34:06,137
House Stark held the frozen
wasteland of the North,
53
00:34:06,221 --> 00:34:09,307
the oldest, largest
and emptiest of the kingdoms.
54
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,893
House Lannister held the Westerlands,
55
00:34:11,977 --> 00:34:15,354
the wealthiest kingdom,
thanks to their gold mines.
56
00:34:15,981 --> 00:34:17,899
House Gardener held the Reach,
57
00:34:17,983 --> 00:34:21,027
the second wealthiest kingdom,
thanks to their crops.
58
00:34:21,445 --> 00:34:25,490
House Arryn held the Vale,
or rather the Vale held them.
59
00:34:25,574 --> 00:34:28,534
The mountains were impassable
except through the Bloody Gate,
60
00:34:28,619 --> 00:34:30,453
which had never been taken.
61
00:34:30,704 --> 00:34:34,123
House Martell held the deserts of Dorne,
62
00:34:34,208 --> 00:34:36,876
probably because no one else wanted them.
63
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,087
Together, the Seven Kingdoms
made Westeros,
64
00:34:40,172 --> 00:34:42,173
a realm that wasn't yet a realm,
65
00:34:42,257 --> 00:34:46,761
ruled by great families
who didn't know what greatness was.
66
00:34:46,887 --> 00:34:48,429
Aegon would teach them.
