It is not certain whether Rhaenys outlived Meraxes. In Meraxes's death throes, she destroyed the castle's highest tower and part of the curtain wall. In 10 AC at Hellholt, an iron bolt from a scorpion went through Meraxes's eye, and the dragon and Rhaenys fell from the sky. Queen Rhaenys led the first assault on Dorne, seizing Dornish seats as she approached Sunspear, and burning the Planky Town on Meraxes. The First Dornish War began in 4 AC, when Aegon decided to conquer the kingdom at last. The death of Meraxes, as depicted by Chase Stone in The World of Ice & Fire Rhaenys warned Meria that the Targaryens would return, and departed Sunspear, leaving Dorne the only unconquered kingdom. Meria told Rhaenys to inform Aegon that Dorne would neither fight nor kneel, and would have no king. Finally, she and Meraxes arrived in Sunspear, where only the eighty-year-old Meria Martell, Princess of Dorne, remained. She did not find an easy conquest, as every castle she encountered was empty and abandoned, with only women and children and old men left in the towns and villages. Īfterwards, Rhaenys flew Meraxes to Dorne, to demand their submission. Brandon Snow, the bastard brother of Torrhen, offered to sneak into the Targaryen camp at night to slay the dragons, but the northern king refused the attempt, and instead sent his brother as an envoy, eventually bending the knee to the Targaryens. Rhaenys next flew Meraxes to the Trident in the riverlands, where she met with her brother and sister and their dragons, to face King in the North Torrhen Stark. The army was broken, and House Targaryen was victorious. King Mern IX Gardener died, and with him House Gardener. Together, Meraxes, Vhagar, and Balerion killed four thousand men, burning them alive. They advanced south, where all three dragons took part in the decisive Field of Fire – the only battle in which all three of the Targaryen dragons took to the sky at the same time during Aegon's Conquest. Īfter the stormlanders submitted, Rhaenys flew Meraxes to Stoney Sept, to link up with her siblings, their dragons, and Aegon's army. Afterwards, Rhaenys flew Meraxes into the castle of Storm's End to parley with Argilac's daughter Argella. At the Battle of the Last Storm, the wind and rain forced them to stay grounded, but even on the ground Meraxes slew many, engulfing Argilac's vanguard and the knights of his personal guard in dragonflame. Afterwards, Rhaenys and Meraxes accompanied Orys Baratheon on his mission to subdue Argilac Durrandon, the last Storm King. Rosby yielded to Rhaenys and Meraxes without a fight. ![]() After Aegon landed on Westeros and began his conquest, he dispatched his sisters to secure the submission of the nearest castles.
