Aegon is crowned king and decides to make his seat at King's Landing, a settlement he had made during his war campaign. Orys and Rhaenys engage in a bloody battle with Argilac, defeating him in single combat. The desert region of Dorne proves more difficult to defeat as Rhaenys discovers that all of the castles are empty and the fields burned. Torrhen Stark, King in the North, meets with Aegon and bends the knee, in an effort to avoid a bloody conflict. Visenya travels to the mountainous region called the Vale, wins a battle, and secures the loyalty of the Arryns. Aegon defeats and kills the lord Harren Hoare, referred to as Harren the Black, by burning him out of his formidable castle, Harrenhall, with dragon fire. He takes an area known as the riverlands. The rest of the section follows Aegon's conquest. Aegon deliberates with his council and announces, via ravens, that he has declared himself king of the realm and that he plans to go to war. Argilac angrily rejects his offer, cutting off the hands of Aegon's envoy. Aegon turns down a marriage proposal from Argilac Durrandon and offers his companion, and rumored half-brother, Orys Baratheon instead. They land on the coastal land Dragonstone and make their home there with their dragons Balerion, Vhagar, and Meraxes. The story begins with Aegon Targaryen, also known as "Aegon the Conqueror." Traveling from the land Valyria to Westeros with his two sisters, Rhaenys and Visenya, Aegon weds both of them, according to Valyrian custom.
