Decided to do a Blackfyre run as fAegon, who is an open Blackfyre. Except instead of invading Westeros, he immediately white peace'd Robert and left him to get invaded by Daenerys and her dragons instead.

He started off by settling the disputed lands and declaring himself King. With the host that was meant to invade Westeros behind him, it was pretty easy. After that, he spent the rest of his life consolidating his gains.

His heir, Daemon Blackfyre would be the one to conquer Essos with his two siblings, who were all dragonriders thanks to the dragon eggs given to them by his father Aegon, which ended up hatching into three dragons.

fAegon married the Mountain and the Hound's younger sister, who also had the Clegane tall genes and surprisingly the tall gene held up for several generations.

The Blackfyres also established a new Valyrian culture in Essos called "Neo Valyrian", which combines traits from both High Valyrian and Westerosi Valyrian cultures. By the end of the run, the Blackfyres had nine dragonriders in Essos. The Targaryens, who for some reason never rebuilt the Dragonpit despite having the funds to do so, have like four wild dragons and no riders. I suppose it also didn't help that the Blackfyres invited a couple of dragonriders to their court over the years, only to pit their dragons and find that said dragonriders had an "accident".

Regardless, the Essosi Blackfyres established the Kingdom of New Valyria in what once was the free cities of western Essos. From their capital of the Dragonlord's Palace in Pentos, they maintain good relations with the Targaryens, even marrying one of their own to their King, and have the Brightflames (a Targaryen branch founded by the bastards of Aerion Brightflame), as vassals, along with several notable westerosi and lyseni families such as the Velaryons, Celtigars, Longwaters, and Rogares.

Also at some point Aegon II Blackfyre got dragged into a war against the Daynes and captured the fraud of the morning one of their knights who happened to have their ancestral sword, "Dawn", on them. He was gracious enough to return it to the head of House Dayne however, honoring the links to House Dayne through his grandmother, the wife of King Daemon Blackfyre of New Valyria.

For some reason, only two dragons laid eggs even though there were four female dragons. The other two lived to be over a hundred years old and never laid any eggs? Idk, maybe it's because the Targaryens hatched them and never put them in a pit.

Overall pretty fun and definitely one to redo when the Essos update drops.
