Chapter 183

Three hundred years ago, Aegon set out from Dragonstone with his sisters, each astride a dragon, leading just over a thousand soldiers to begin the conquest of the Seven Kingdoms.

The Field of Fire was one of the pivotal battles.

After Aegon and the lords who had bent the knee to him secured the riverlands and the stormlands, the Gardeners of Highgarden—King Mern IX—and the Lannisters of the westerlands—“the Rock King” Loren Lannister—formed an alliance. Together they mustered the largest host in Westerosi history: fifty-five thousand men, including more than five thousand cavalry.
