House velarylons were the true victims of the dance

Imagine going from having 3 dragons under your command (meleys, seasmsoke, vhagar) being the most wealthy house in the entire kingdom even overshadowing the royal family. Having royal marriage pacts and basically being a demi-royal family within the kingdom because of the close genetic connection you share to the targaryens.

And then you lose control of all your dragons. After the civil war you lose all wealth and prominence. And Cease to become relevant.

House velarylon's downfall truly needs to be studied bro

My main compliant comes from the battle of Rooks rest. They completely remove Rhaenys's one accomplishment at the battle which is burning aegon and sunfyre to a crisp and instead give it to Aemond??? I guess it's to demonstrate how ambitious and crazy aemond is but we've already his ambitiousness in the small council meetings and him scorching the riverlands could showcase his craziness. So to me there was no reason for that and it made rhaenys's death so mundane cause she practically died for nothing while in the books she makes a serious contribution to the war effort
