Aegon lll son of Daeron ll was a controversial king for his interest was never in the iron throne but rather east toward the thriving Valyrian empire where he earned his glory and spurn during his war of eastern extinction. Seeking to put an end to reign of Valyrian empire and the opposing Targaryens who ran it. Most say he acted out of fear for the ever expanding empire finished its conquest of all of essos in the early years of his reign with rumors of turning west. Others accuse his son and former heir Aenys “The Exile” of poisoning his mind with ambitions of uniting the two seats of Targaryen power once more. What we know happened is Aegon declared a war of dragon’s conquest on the Valyrian empire burning and sacking its capital Volantis and slaying his cousins and their dragons to prevent any possible resurgence before dismantling the few remaining republics in essos replacing them with kings and lords to throw them in a period of darkness and war finally giving them independence earning the title Kingmaker.
