The woman standing atop the mountain was no ordinary woman. She had made a long and arduous journey across the sea to this place, a journey that had taken her many months, and the alone she stood, looking upon the world that lay before her. She was Daenerys Targaryen, the last-born of the Six Wives of King Henry VIII, who had escaped persecution and carved a new life in the distant land of Essos. It was in this distant land that she had made a new home for herself and her kin. They had built a new dynasty, a Valyrian Empire, that was steeped in the traditions of the old world, yet with a more progressive outlook. In this new Empire, the Matriarchs and the Mothers of the House of Targaryen held sway, and there was no King or Lord to dictate their rule. This was the beginning of a new era, an era where the Matriarchs and Mothers of the House of Targaryen would be the lawgivers, and the people of Essos would be empowered to be their own masters. With justice and equality, they would bring a new world of peace and prosperity to the people of Essos, who had long lived under the rule of tyrants and oppressors.
