In Fair Valyria...

...we lay our scene

From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. Do with their death bury their parents' strife. In a world where the ruling class is told to marry their destiny, what if love prevails? Two of the most powerful ruling families of the Valyrian Freehold are mortal enemies, they have shed blood through the centuries. What happens when their most spirited youths, both set to marry against their wishes, mind one another in this chaotic world of murder and mayhem and build something...together Old Valyrian/Doom Shakespeare AU; Romeo + Juliet inspired; who wants to join in making some fun characters? We don't even have to formally write it all, we can just throw characters and muse at each other hehe

These violent delights have violent ends,

And in their triumph die like fire and powder, Which as they kiss consume~

A collage of Old Valyrian fashions in GOT Universe

Valyria has nods to Rome btw.

Known for its legacy of dragons and battalions, Valyria boasts as one of the Ancient powerhouse civillizations in GOT Universe. The Valyrians are a brave people, with immense connections to dragons. Having founded the Valyrian Empire centuries before Daenerys was born, Aegon I Targaryen, and the Valyrian Empire has helped shape the course of the GOT Universe history for centuries to come.

Alicent's learning high Valeryian snd being BETTER at it would be the best revenge for all the head aches those Targaryens caused.

Like, her pronunciation is on point, how she rolls her letters are good and she knows when to make the letters longer or shorter, which ones are silent, and is very good at singing old Valeryian songs.

Like, she'd just be the shit at it, and the fact that she doesn't have a dragon and knows how to speak high Valeryian like a dragon rider would stir them so wrong.

Her pronunciation is better than most dragon riders who are ALIVE, she's better than her children, her words are certainly smoother than theirs and alot more. Maybe I'll make a short fic here or something about it.

the misogyny against rhaenyra kinda baffles me because westerosi vs valyrian tradition yadayada but did they miss the part where a) aegon the conqueror's wives, visenya and rhaenys, were perfectly fearsome and competent warriors in their own right and b) rhaenyra has syrax? like yada yada a true highborn lady wearing only silken gowns and never touching a sword BUT SHE RIDES A MASSIVE FIRE BREATHING LIZARD 💀

like if the westerosi sept and people can accept the targeryan dragonlord valyrian incest because exceptionalism why cant they accept targ woman with a fucking dragon is just above them especially considering targs were considered literally built different

idk man rhaenys and rhaenyra are scary as fuck and i honestly dont get how being a dragon rider doesnt automatically make you a-grade badass queen material

Btw this is the best High Valyrian translator I've found.

a/n: some swears lol. If you really want to learn the language, then Duolingo is great!

After the "Doom of Valyria", High Valyrian transformed dailly language of an empire into more of a scholarly language kept alive by the elite nobles, poets, and scholars across Essos and Westeros.

𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐎𝐫 𝐋𝐨𝐰 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧

Each of the Nine Free Cities developed their own distinct Low Valyrian tongue like the Braavosi, Lorathi, Lysene, Myrish, Norvoshi, Pentoshi, Qohorik, Tyroshi, and Volantene.

So while High Valyrian remained the sacred, elite lore language, these Low Valyrian offshoots became the common tongue.

It's probably why it's so difficult to get the exact wording right when there's so many different versions of one language.

House Shryk of Valyria

it was foretold

triplets born to twins would chase House Shryk into the upper echelons of Valyria ...but what if she can't accept her fate?

the descendants

the night is dark and full of terrors, his family is the proof Red Priest; Slave of R'hllor from Volantis

Ive been trying to think up a Red Priest character for a while, and I think I found my first Valyrian family in the process! I think my Red Priest might know actual fuck you magic? Who needs dragons, right??

“The Targaryens/ Valyrians are not white supremacists and can’t be compared to European Colonisers!”

Oh? My bad then. I must have them confused with some other white folks who thought their appearance made them superior, brought whole continents to heel, exploited the lands of others for their own greed, destroyed whole civilizations and enslaved vulnerable people who unfortunately lacked the advanced weapons of mass destruction they possessed.

“Well, the Andals and the First Men were also colonisers, so they deserved it!”

No way! Are you actually telling me that every race has a history of violence because human nature itself is corrupt and we’re no better than animals fighting for their place on this earth? That’s so crazy and original. By the way, are you saying that people deserved to get colonised and enslaved because they were fighting other people in order to survive? Are you suggesting these “savages” should have been contained by the righteous white folks who came there to better their lives? Not to mention that the Andals and the First Men came to Westeros 12,000 and 6,000 years ago respectively, while the Targaryens attacked Westeros barely 130 years ago (literally just 3 - 4 generations) from the Dance of the Dragons? So are you comparing the morality of the people who migrated here, who were so primitive that barely even possessed weapons of steel, with that of the most advanced civilization ever built in the ASOIAF universe? That’s so interesting! It’s almost as if the Andals and the First Men didn’t know any better until it was too late and were trying to find a land that could accommodate their millions of people, so they were essentially fighting for survival, whereas the Targaryens who came from a race that had evolved philosophically, politically, academically and technologically wise, possessed enough wealth and land to sustain their little family, yet still chose to go to war against the land that nurtured them out of pure greed! Hmmm. Do you also believe that the Greeks had it coming when they were enslaved by the Ottomans and should just let go of the past because it’s been so long since they regained their freedom (barely 200 years ago btw, after 4 centuries of slavery), because their Ancient Ancestral Tribes migrated to Greece and conquered the land 3,500 years ago, a little after the age of bronze? No? Then you might see why that kind thinking is flawed.

Stop defending these inbred bastards with your full chest. We get it. They look badass. We all have a fave war criminal but all of the Targs need to be put to the sword, along with their fucking lizards. Purposely denying the parallels between the Targaryens/ Valyrians and the Colonisers/ Conquerors of our world screams white saviour complex.
