The Old Dynasty HOUSE TARGARYEN

The Targaryens are the blood of the dragon, descended from the high lords of the ancient Freehold of Valyriaxyxy, their heritage proclaimed in a striking (some say inhuman) beauty, with lilac or indigo or violet eyes and hair of silver-gold or platinum white.

Aegonxy the Dragonxyxy’s ancestors escaped the Doomxy of Valyriaxyxy and the chaos and slaughter that followed to settle on Dragonstonexy, a rocky island in the narrow sea. It was from there that Aegonxy and his sisters Visenyaxy and Rhaenysxy sailed to conquer the Seven Kingdomsxy. To preserve the blood royal and keep it pure, House Targaryenxyxy has often followed the Valyrianxy custom of wedding brother to sister. Aegonxy himself took both his sisters to wife, and fathered sons on each. The Targaryenxy banner is a three-headed dragon, red on black, the three heads representing Aegonxy and his sisters. The Targaryenxy words are Fire and Bloodxyxy.
