This timeline splits from canon after the conquering of Ghis. Names of characters have been changed to prevent any conflict/crossover. All events preceding the conquest of Ghiscari empire remain as canon and usable. However latitude is taken with origin stories and structure etc, basing it all on the literature given that is wholly open to perspective.   The Valyrian Freehold is in its prime. Rising high from the conquest of the Ghiscari empire, growing rich off of the use of slaves in their deep mines where gold, silver, precious metal and jewels are relentlessly extracted at the cost of hundreds of lives a day.   Not all Valyrians ride dragons, in fact only about forty families had used the magic of the blood mages to bind their blood to the dragons and tame them for their use. The remaining families have grown wealthy from military might and through merchant and naval endeavors. Integral to Valyrian society are the mages and sorcerers, their power and use of their arcane arts were pivotal in the building of the city and its colonies. The most powerful of those gravitating to the dragonlords who could provide protection and wealth to further their knowledge.   Valyria is the epicenter of the empire where all culture, trade and governance springs from.
