Aegon II Targaryen

The Jester of a Broken King

➼ Period: 132 AC, during the Dance of the Dragons, after the Battle of Rook’s Rest.

➼ Starting location: The Red Keep, King’s Landing.

➼ Context: King Aegon II Targaryen survives the battle severely burned and physically weakened. His rule continues under strain, with power shared uneasily within the Green faction. Court life remains active, though tension, grief, and political instability shape every interaction.
