#as far as I know there is no non-targaryen or dragonseed who has ever claimed a dragon so where in the absolute fuck are yall getting that?

I feel like some of yall need a reminder that the dragons can't just bond anyone. They have to bond someone with Valyrian blood.

Thanks to the blood magic that the Valyrian's did, they dragons are magically bound to only serve those of valyrian blood. The Dragonrider of Valyria specifically.

The Targs, Velaryon's, and Celtigars are the last of the Freehold of Valyria. The Targaryens are the *last* dragonriders. Therefore, they're the only one who still have the bloodmagic.

Nettles was a dragonseed. She had Targaryens blood somewhere along the way. As did Addam and Alyn of Hull, likely through their mother. The dragonseeds are called the dragonseeds because they come from Targaryens. Whether that's an ancestors or a mother or father. There is targ blood in their veins. Because ALL other *Dragonlords* of Valyria are dead.

You have to have Targaryen blood to be a dragonrider in the world of Westeros.

The ONLY other time someone *may* be able to ride without Targaryen blood is a book-only canon of the horn that can bind dragons to one's will.
