![]() The city fell during the Doom of Valyria, but is still considered the ancestral home of House Targaryen. And remember all that talk of Daenerys coming from "the blood of Old Valyria"? Valyria was once the capital of the Targaryen pseudo-empire the Valyrian Freehold that spanned across most of - you guessed it - Essos. The answer might lay in the fact that Essos is the place where Dany and her brother Viserys fled to after Robert's Rebellion and the murder of their father, Aerys "the Mad King" Targaryen, at the hands of Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau). It seems that Drogon is making his way to Volantis, one of the Nine Free Cities on the southwestern shore of Essos.

The last of Daenerys' three dragons, Drogon, nudged his mother's dead body before burning down the Iron Throne, scooping her up with his hind foot, and flying off to a location seemingly unknown. Spoiler alert, but after Jon Snow (Kit Harington) came to accept the possibility that Dany could continue taking what he felt was hers with fire and blood, just as she did King's Landing, he pledged his undying loyalty to her in the ash-covered Throne Room, then stabbed her through the chest as they embraced. ![]()
