(Small Timeline)
Early 303 AC
After the War Of Five Kings ended in 300 AC, the Seven Kingdoms were finally at peace under the leadership of King Robb Stark of the New Stark Dynasty.
The new Stark king had many ambitious goals, his most important goal being uplifting the advancement of Westeros to the standards of the Free Cities of Essos.
Because of this, he gained much popularity from the various Lords of the Seven Kingdoms, especially the Heirs and younger members of the family, who shared their young King's youthful ambitions.
But as someone said, that all good things must come to an end.
In early 303 AC, troubling news began arriving from the East. Whispers of "Dragons" and "Targaryen", began arriving on an almost daily basis.
At first King Robb choose to ignore this news regarding Dragons, as didn't want to deal with the paranoia, that had gripped late King Robert Baratheon.
But as more news started coming, including various merchants, who have sailed from Meereen, bring tales of Dragons conquering citiess, Robb and his Great Council, began to take this thing seriously.
Robb instructed the Maesters of Citadel to search for ways to counter Dragons while he hired various craftsmen from Volantis to teach them how to make Weapons to defeat the Dragons. As Volantis was a former Valryian Colony, they knew many ways to counter Dragons.
Robb also began studying the strategies used by the Dornish, during their war with the Targaryens, as Dorne is the only Kingdom who the Targargens never conquered.
Mid 303 AC
By Mid 303 AC, the spies, that Robb had sent, in Meereen reported that the former Master Of Whispers Varys "The Spider" and Lord Jon Corrington, Former Lord Of Gryffin's Roast, has arranged an meeting between Daenerys Targaryen and the self proclaimed Aegon VI Targaryen.
The entire Council, including Oberyn Martell was shocked by this news, as baby Aegon, together with his sister Rhaneys and mother Elia Martell, was thought to be killed by Ser Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane, during the sack of King's Landing.
But this isn't the only bad news. It seemed that Aegon and Jon Corrington had somehow managed to secure the loyalty of The Golden Company, the most powerful Sellsword Company Of Essos.
It had surprised Robb, as The Golden Company had its loyalty with the Blackfyres, and them supporting their arch enemy, The Targaryens is actually surprising.
This is also not mentioning the massive horde of Dothraki Screamers and the disciplined Unsullied army under Daenerys Targaryen's command.
At first many of Council Members are assured that the Targaryen's cannot invade Westeros, as they doesn't posses a navy to ferry this huge force West.
But their assumption was proven incorrect, when another report stated that many Sellsails had pledged their allegiance to Daenerys Targaryen. Worse this Sellsails are under the command of Euron "Crow's Eye" Greyjoy, the feared Captain Of the Black ship "The Silence".
Another worrying thing about this reports, are that they are old and outdated. The distance between the Westeros and Essos made any report obsolete. Which meant that the Targaryen fleet docked in Meereen has already sailed.
This worries actually came true when the Targaryen fleet under the cover of night attacked and captured Dragonstone, shocking the Council.
While the soldiers defending Dragonstone fought to their last they were no match against the superior Targaryen forces who butchered them to the last men.
