   Summary

   House Targaryen were the Last Dragonlords of Old Valyria, But there were determined not to let the Glory of their Ancient homeland perish and so with their allies sought to build a better and glorious future in Westeros. With ambitions to match the legendary Bran the Builder, Cunning to outsmart Lann the Clever and prosperity to put the Garth Green hand to shame, House Targaryen would begin a decades long effort to build for each generation a greater legacy.

   An alternate history of Westeros with a much more ambitious and reformist House Targaryen, one which builds a much more intricate system for governing the Realm and is not content with having enough, one which did not stop breaking the status quo by forging the Iron Throne. Starting from before the Reign of Aegon the Conqueror.
