Daenys the Dreamer – The Targaryen Who Foresaw The Doom of Valyria

June 1, 2025 | By History of Westeros

Of all the dreamers in Targaryen history, it’s difficult to argue Daenys Targaryen wasn’t the most crucial. It was her vision of the Doom that brought their House to safety on Dragonstone ahead of the extinction that took all of Valyria and every other dragonlord family. This episode is devoted to what we know of her life, the era in which she lived, and of course – her prophecies.
