===Dragonseeds=== When the [[House Targaryen|Targaryens]] first came to [[Dragonstone]] from the [[Valyrian Freehold]], they began practicing the tradition themselves. While the first night was greatly resented and loathed in the rest of the [[Seven Kingdoms]], the smallfolk of Dragonstone viewed their beautiful rulers of [[Valyria]]n origin almost as gods.{{ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - The Red Dragon and the Gold}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon II}} When a [[Lord of Dragonstone]] took his rights according to the first night custom, the brides were seen as "blessed", and the children born of such unions were often given lavish gifts by their father. [[Bastards]] who inherited Valyrian features such as [[purple eyes]] were said to be born of "[[dragonseed]]", and in time, they became known as "seeds". Until the reign of [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen]], the first night was perhaps invoked more often on Dragonstone than anywhere else in the Seven Kingdoms.{{ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - The Red Dragon and the Gold}} [[Orys Baratheon]] may have been the product of a first night between his mother and Lord [[Aerion Targaryen (son of Daemion)|Aerion Targaryen]].{{Ref|FAB|Jaehaerys and Alysanne β Their Triumphs and Tragedies}}
