==Quotes== {{Quote|Hardly had the last stone been set on the [[Red Keep]] than [[Maegor I Targaryen|Maegor]] commanded that the ruins of the [[Sept of Remembrance]] be cleared from the top of [[Rhaenys's Hill]], and with them the bones and ashes of the [[Warrior's Sons]] who had perished there. In their place, he decreed, a great stone "stable for [[dragon]]s" would be erected, a lair worthy of [[Balerion]], [[Vhagar]], and their get. Thus commenced the building of the Dragonpit.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Maegor I}}|writings of [[Gyldayn]]}} {{Quote|The Dragonpit atop the [[hill of Rhaenys]] had been abandoned for a century and a half. He supposed it was as good a place as any to store [[wildfire]], and better than most, but it would have been nice if the late Lord [[Rossart]] had told someone.{{ref|ACOK|49}}|thoughts of [[Tyrion Lannister]]}} {{Quote|In [[King's Landing]], your ancestors raised an immense domed [[castle]] for their [[dragon]]s. The Dragonpit, it is called. It still stands atop the [[Hill of Rhaenys]], though all in ruins now. That is where the royal dragons dwelt in days of yore, and a cavernous dwelling it was, with [[iron]] doors so wide that thirty [[knight]]s could ride through them abreast. Yet even so, it was noted that none of the pit dragons ever reached the size of their ancestors. The [[maesters]] say it was because of the walls around them, and the great dome above their heads.{{Ref|ASOS|8}}|[[Barristan Selmy|Arstan Whitebeard]] to [[Daenerys Targaryen]]}} {{Quote|None of the [[dragon]]s bred and raised in the Dragonpit of [[King's Landing]] had ever approached the size of [[Vhagar]] or [[Meraxes]], much less that of the [[Balerion|Black Dread]], King [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon's]] monster.{{ref|ADWD|68}}|thoughts of [[Quentyn Martell]]}}
