- Viserys Targaryen: A horse grants man dominion over the land, a ship over the sea. But dragons gave us the sky. And everything, and everyone, beneath it.
- Viserys Targaryen: At its height, my ancestors ruled the known world. Whatever parts we didn't weren't worth knowing.
- Viserys Targaryen: House Martell held the deserts of Dorne, probably because no one else wanted them.
- Viserys Targaryen: Together the Seven Kingdoms made Westeros. A realm that wasn't yet a realm. Ruled by great families who didn't know what greatness was. Aegon would teach them.
- Lord Varys: Argillac offered lands he didn't have and a wife Aegon didn't need. For, as the Valyrians did, Aegon had wed his elder sister Visenya. Then, as the Valyrians didn't, he took the younger Rhaenys as well. Two sisters. Two wives. Perhaps that's why he was so keen to get off Dragonstone.
- Lord Varys: As his army prepared to sail, ravens flew to every great Lord of the Seven Kingdoms. All bore the same message: "From this day forth, there would be but one King in Westeros". Those who bent the knee to Aegon of House Targaryen would keep their lands and titles. Those who took up arms against him would be thrown down, humbled and destroyed. Poor old Argillac. He couldn't even match Aegon in arrogance.
- Euron Greyjoy: Legend has it that masons laid the final stone in Harrenhal on the very day that Aegon landed in Westeros. Could have been a divine omen. Could have been the masons wanted to fuck off before the dragons got there.
- Viserys Targaryen: After The Long Night, The North tried to forget it belonged to a continent. Perhaps through pride. Perhaps through sheer ignorance. You never can tell with The North.
- Petyr 'Littlefinger' Baelish: One day Queen Sharra entered the outer courtyard to find her young son sitting on the knee of Visenya Targaryen and ogling her dragon Vhagar beside her. Just as he asked for another cake at dinner, little King Ronnel asked his mother if he could go flying on the nice lady's dragon. Visenya smiled at Sharra. So, Sharra imagined, did Vhagar. Remembering her manners, Sharra asked if she could have Visenya brought some wine or food. She must be tired after such a long flight. But Visenya demured. Bored with his mother's pleasantries, Ronnel demanded an answer. Poor boy. He didn't even understand the question.
- Viserys Targaryen: While my father's servants were losing my father's kingdoms, my brother Rhaegar had been cooped up with his... mistress? Whore? Whatever else, I call her a distraction.
