Lord Aenar Targaryen, known as Aenar the Exile, was a nobleman from the Valyrian Freehold. He is an ancestor of House Targaryen. He was the father of Daenys "the Dreamer" and Gaemon "the Glorious".[1]
History
Twelve years before the Doom of Valyria (114 BC), Aenar Targaryen sold his holdings in the Freehold and the Lands of the Long Summer and moved with all his wives, wealth, slaves, dragons, siblings, kin, and children to Dragonstone, a bleak island citadel beneath a smoking mountain in the narrow sea.
At its apex Valyria was the greatest city in the known world, the center of civilization. Within its shining walls, twoscore rival houses vied for power and glory in court and council, rising and falling in an endless, subtle, oft-savage struggle for dominance. The Targaryens were far from the most powerful of the dragonlords, and their rivals saw their flight to Dragonstone as an act of surrender, as cowardice. But Lord Aenar’s maiden daughter Daenys, known forever afterward as Daenys the Dreamer, had foreseen the destruction of Valyria by fire. And when the Doom came twelve years later, the Targaryens were the only dragonlords to survive. [2]
By the time of the War of the Five Kings, it is believed visions written down by the maiden daughter of Aenar Targaryen before the Doom came to Valyria were in a book called Signs and Portents, that is now lost. Archmaester Marwyn claimed he found three pages from it in his Book of Lost Books.[3]
