The Valyrian Freehold was an empire that lasted thousands of years and conquered most of Essos, yet never tried to conquer Westeros. Aegon the Conqueror proved 100 years after the fall of the freehold that it could be done. So why did the Valyrians and their dragons leave Westeros alone? Well it turns out the answer is a prophecy that might have some very interesting implications for the future of our story and Daenerys Targaryen as she tries to take the iron throne.
