Aegon became involved in the wars in the Disputed Lands when Pentos and Tyrosh approached him, inviting him to join a grand alliance against Volantis, and he chose to heed their call. After the other four of Aenar's dragons died, Balerion became the last creature to have seen the Freehold in its prime.īalerion was eventually claimed by Lord Aegon Targaryen, some time before he married his sisters Visenya and Rhaenys. He was born in Valyria, and was one of the five dragons Aenar Targaryen brought with him when he fled to Dragonstone to survive the Doom of Valyria.

History Originīalerion was named after an ancient god of the Valyrian Freehold. īalerion was willful, and not a beast to trifle with. Prince Viserys believed the dragon no longer had the strength to fly from King's Landing to Dragonstone. When Prince Viserys Targaryen claimed the dragon that year, the dragon struggled to take to the air. He had grown sluggish and heavy and was difficult to rouse. By 93 AC, Balerion had finally stopped growing.

His teeth were as long as swords, and his jaws were large enough to swallow an aurochs whole, or even one of the hairy mammoths that are said to roam the cold wastes beyond the Port of Ibben. His wingspan was so large that his shadow could engulf entire towns when he passed overhead. īalerion was the largest of all the Targaryen dragons since Aegon's Conquest.

When he was in the fullness of his power, his flames could melt steel and stone, and fuse sand into glass. His fire was black, sometimes with swirls of red.
