Targaryen Legacy Unleashed: The Hidden Truth Behind the Dragon Kings For centuries, the Targaryen dynasty has captivated imaginations across Westeros with tales of blood, fire, and unmatched power. Known as the Dragon Kings, these sovereigns ruled not only with steel but with a mystical heritage steeped in dragons, ancient prophecies, and a legacy shrouded in mystery. Yet beyond the myths, lies a hidden truth about the origins, significance, and enduring influence of the Targaryen bloodline—one that reshapes our understanding of their reign and the inner workings of Westeros’ power. ### Who Were the Targaryens, Really?
