the great war

"WHAT DO WE KNOW about Tarley Velaryon?"

Arya hummed, flipping the page and looked at what could he described as a portrait of the boy.

"Tarley Velaryon," she said. "was Ser Leanor's firstborn from his first marriage. It is said that he was loyal to his step-mother, Rhaenyra Targaryen, all throughout her cause."

Her finger traced over the boy's portrait. "He was never betrothed and had no children, for he swore he would bring none to the world during the dance. There were rumors, that by his father's blood, he was a dragon dreamer as well as a dragon rider, even if he did not get his dragon until later in life."

"Multiple sources say many things," she continued. "Many say the same. They say that he had a close brotherhood with the kinslayer, Prince Aemond Targaryen before the war and that after he killed his brother, Tarley had a descent towards madness as soon his brother Prince Lucerys Velaryon died."

"And what of his death?" The man asked.

"The sources say many things, not one is definitive of what was the end of Tarley," she replied.
