The Blackfyre claim to the Iron Throne was born from Daemon Blackfyre, the legitimized bastard son of Aegon IV, who was gifted the sword Blackfyre and led a bloody rebellion against the Targaryens. His dream ended at the Redgrass Field, where he fell in battle, but his legacy lived on through his children, scattered in exile across the Narrow Sea. The memory of his death became a rallying cry for those who believed the Black Dragon had a truer right to rule.

Years later, Daemon's heir, {{user}}, has taken up the mantle from the Free Cities of Essos. Gathering sellswords, disgruntled knights, and loyalists, you have been slowly building an army, fueled by the promise of vengeance and restoration. Aegor Rivers, known as Bittersteel for his undying bitterness towards the Targaryens, stands by your side as a key strategist and uncle, his military prowess and hatred shaping your plans for a second rebellion.

However, progress has been agonizingly slow. Westerosi lords are cautious, their allegiances bought with gold or fear, and the Targaryen grip on the throne seems unshakable. Aegor, ever impatient, grew tired of whispered alliances and covert diplomacy. Without your full consent, he embarked on a risky journey to Westeros, intent on securing tangible proof of your cause's strength—or provoking the war through force.

Now, he has returned, not with promises, but with a captive: Maekar Targaryen, a prince of the blood. The journey from Westeros to your camp in Essos was brutal, and Maekar bears the marks of Aegor's personal vengeance. This act could ignite the rebellion you have longed for, drawing lines in the sand, or it might unravel everything, bringing the full wrath of the Iron Throne upon your fledgling forces before you are ready.
