#kiera of tyrosh

[nouketou]

From Daeron II to Aegon V

-> a little Dreamfyre at the bottom of the family tree

-> I tried to have the dornish a look close to the people of Spain during the Al-Andalus period

-> at that point in the timeline, the Targaryens tend to follow westerosi fashion, highborn ladies wearing "modest" headpieces (headdress, hair nets, crown braid), similar to European medieval era, reflecting the weight of the Faith of the Seven

-> men tend to wear simpler fashion and jewelry too, donning an earring here and there but nothing extravagant (except Aerion)

-> Aegon V's attire reflects his reign and his will to bring back the Targaryen to their past glory (ending badly in Summerhall) and so his look and Betha Blackwood's are more "Targaryen" coded, this wish is/was also followed in a way by his siblings, Aerion and Rhea

-> a hammer and an anvil to symbolize the roles of Baelor and Maker during the Blackfyre rebellions

Kiera of Tyrosh

Kiera of Tyrosh is a character we know nothing about, but who is very interesting: despite not being Westerosi, she was married twice to the direct heir to the Iron Throne, a prospect that would make her the first Essosi Queen of the Seven Kingdoms.

First she married Valarr Targaryen, with whom she had at least two stillborn sons, and then, when Valarr died of illness, she married his cousin Daeron, with whom she had a daughter, Vaella. Daeron also died before he could inherit, and in the Great Council of 233 the claims of their daughter, who at the time was eleven years old and considered "simple", were set aside in favor of those of her uncle Aegon V.

Vaella Targaryen

Daughter of Daeron Targaryen and Kiera of Tyrosh. She was taken into consideration for the throne when King Maekar died but she was passed over due to the fact that she was considered ‘simple-minded’. My headcannons are that she was very close with her mother and would wear the same makeup her mother wore. I also believe that she was very artistic and would often paint, she wore brighter colors and would often coordinate with her mother. After she was passed over for the throne she was free to explore her passions, i also hc that she married somebody from the reach since they are known for their shared love of bright colors.

I added two versions with different eye colors.

The Queens Who Never Were 〚10 / 17〛

╰┈➤ ❝ A shadow came at his command to strangle brave Prince Valarr's sons in their mother's womb. ❞

It is unknown what position Kiera of Tyrosh was born into, save that she was sufficiently noble to marry not one but two Targaryen Princes, both of which who were expected to one day inherit the throne. It may be the case that the marriage was arranged in order to sever the ties formed between Tyrosh and the Blackfyres through Rohanne.

First married to Valarr, the firstborn son of the heir to the throne at the time, Kiera gave birth to twin stillborn sons. When Valarr's father died, he was briefly heir to the Iron Throne, only to die to the Spring Sickness and leave Kiera a widow. She likely remained with House Targaryen, as soon after she was wed to Prince Daeron Targaryen, eldest son of King Maekar and Prince of Dragonstone.

Daeron was an infamous drunk, and likely a dragon dreamer, described as sloven and sallow. They had a daughter together, Vaella, before Daeron died. Many say he died of pox from a whore, suggesting he was publicly unfaithful to Kiera; or in an unhappy marriage, as his disposition and the lack of more children despite being wed for over a decade may suggest.

It is worth noting that not only would Kiera have been Queen had both of her marriages not ended so soon, but may have also been Queen Mother or even regent through her daughter, Vaella, who was considered for the throne after the death of Maekar. She seems to have been well-liked by the people, especially in comparison to previous Essosi brides such as Larra Rogare, considering how the only spoken quote about her in Dunk and Egg blames Bloodraven for aborting her sons.

Kiera of Tyrosh

[blissfulphilospher]

since HBO adaptations of ASoIaF world tend to fuck the canon and books, can we please have Lady Dyanna Dayne alive in Dunk and Egg series?

You know to make it more feminist keep her alive? Show us Starfall and more of Dorne? Tell us more about Daella and Rhae? Daenora Targaryen? Kiera of Tyrosh? Please. ☺️

The Royal Families of The Seven Kingdoms: Part 5

By Jota Saraiva

[beneaththeshadows]

Here's a gift to my beloved mutual @dragon-queensguard. It was supposed to be a Christmas gift, but then I had some other ideas that I also wanted to do.

First, there's Kiera of Tyrosh and Daeron the drunken I did a few months ago and the 2nd one is also them but more on your style, I chose them because once you told me your sweet headcanons about them back when we started talking, and I just loved your ideas so much. Secondly, we have Addam and Nettles hanging out because you sold me completely on this ship.

I would also love to add that it's been more than a pleasure to be able to talk with you, and I had the most fun of times doing this, and I hope you enjoy it!❤️

I wonder whether the deaths of Valarr and Kiera's twin sons was, at the time it happened, seen (specifically by anti-red/pro-black factions) as a sort of divine contrapasso judgment on the Targaryen dynasty generally and Baelor Targaryen specifically. While we don't know exactly when the stillbirth happened, I tend to think Kiera and Valarr were married sometime after the First Blackfyre Rebellion (when the Targaryen dynasty would have had an interest in tempering or undermining Tyroshi support for the Blackfyres in exile, perhaps by supporting a rival archonate faction). The First Blackfyre Rebellion, of course, had ended with the Redgrass Field and the deaths of not just Daemon Blackfyre but his own twin eldest sons, Aegon and Aemon. Obviously, Baelor Breakspear had not personally killed either Daemon or his sons, but he had played a major role in securing a Targaryen victory in that battle, and by extension the war.

Consequently, it might have been easy for factions already bristling over the outcome of the First Blackfyre Rebellion to believe that Valarr and Kiera's sons had died specifically because of what their grandfather, and by extension the Targaryens, had done at the Redgrass Field. Just as the stalwartly pro-Blackfyre Eustace Osgrey described the battle as a sort of Blackfyre morality play about Daemon’s goodness and Bloodraven’s evil, so perhaps other Blackfyre loyalists concluded that the gods had seen fit to let Baelor's twin grandsons, his eventual heirs, perish just as he (again, albeit indirectly) had overseen the deaths of Daemon's twin sons and heirs. The pro-Blackfyre septon Dunk and Egg recall at the start of “The Mystery Knight” had used these infants' deaths as evidence against the sinister, specifically impious influence of Bloodraven, but there might not have even been a need to lionize (dragon-ize?) Baelor Breakspear in order to use this family tragedy as a reflection of the divine will; those who resented Baelor specifically and the Targaryens generally might have also pointed to this moment to assert that  those no-good-very-bad Targaryens would be punished by the gods, exactly as they had sinned against the Blackfyres.

[raventreehall]

having lots of thoughts about the dunk and egg era and one of the things that interests me is the tyroshi element, since there are women from tyrosh married into both sides of the blackfyres and targaryens...

i'm guessing that rohanne (wife of daemon blackfyre) and kiera (wife of valarr, then daeron the drunken) came from rival noble families in tyrosh. there's lots of mention of archons sending their daughters to westeros looking to marry into the targs before and after the blackfyre rebellions (they also maybe wanted to marry into the martells in the main series?) so tyrosh as a whole must have at least some interest in westerosi politics, probably akin to the rogares in lys. we also know that the archon is chosen from amongst the noble families in the city, so there's probably lots of infighting between houses and some might look to westeros to gain political advantage.

aegon iv probably agreed to a marriage between daemon (who had the greatest status of his bastards as the son of a princess) and rohanne, daughter of the archon at the time, for trade or other political reasons. but then when daemon rebelled, the archon's stakes obviously switched to favor the blackfyres. tyrosh was probably a blackfyre stronghold during the first and subsequent blackfyre rebellions because of the connection to rohanne (many of her sons being later pretenders) and my guess is that by at least the time of the second blackfyre rebellion, the targs and rival houses within tyrosh had a common interest in taking out the blackfyres + rohanne's family. so one of these rival houses made a pact with daeron ii/baelor breakspear to marry a female member (kiera) to who was then the second in line to the iron throne, valarr. when valarr dies without any living children from kiera (she had at least two stillborn sons) and probably after rhaegel and his kids die and it looks like maekar and therefore daeron will eventually inherit the throne, kiera is instead married to daeron and they have a daughter, vaella. since vaella is later passed over when egg becomes king, it'd be interesting to see if kiera's family in tyrosh tried to help support her claim at all.

both rohanne and kiera are just listed as being 'of tyrosh' with no specification to which house they come from so i just think it's fun to speculate and try to create some worldbuilding :) would be curious to see how archons are chosen and how power changes hands between noble families, i.e. if rohanne's family ever fell from power or if kiera's family ever gained it, maybe with the targs trying to push an anti-blackfyre agenda in tyrosh as well through the family they married into. also maelys blackfyre sacked tyrosh later on so maybe kiera's family or another rival did succeed in ousting rohanne's and that had something to do with it...

From the Maester Mellor's chronicles:

That's happend sometimes that the most beautiful among womens is the most fierce of the dragons.

Day first of posting moodboards I made about my family in my Asoiaf DR. And of course this one is about my mother.

She is the very person who raised me to the become who I am now, the one that shaped the world for me and teach me how to do that myself.

She is a great inspiration for me. Since I was a kid I was tring to be as courageous and proud as she is. And even tho I already find my own ways to behave I'm still following her's cue sometimes.

My mother is always with me when I need her and I know she will help me even with the most difficult situations, even by using rather morally dubious measures.
