The Battle for Dragonstone

This page refers to the Battle of Dragonstone where Daenerys Targaryen siezed the castle. The battle took a day and the Ironborn Force lost twenty ships in the engagement. Ultimately, Daenerys won the castle when Victarion Greyjoy slew Loras Tyrell in the chamber of the Painted Table, succumbing to his wounds not three days later.

From there, Daenerys sent ravens to all the Lord's and Ladies of Westeros, with the near-same statement as Aegon. The letter was to tell any lords of her arrival and her three dragons, and if they would be her enemies, they would taste "Fire and Blood," like her anscestors gave them. Only three lords raised their banners for her.

When hearing of Stannis marching south, Dany wished to intercept him, and departed immediately to meet him on the Trident, where the Battle of the Fiery Waters started.



Strategy
In Pentos, Daenerys strategized with Barristan and Victarion, and decided they would attack dragonstone in the midst of the knight, burn their ships, and storm the castle. They would attempt to get a surrender off of the current occupier, Loras Tyrell if they could.

Battle
The battle started just after Mdinight with the Red Comet in the sky. Victarion Greyjoy sailed quietly into Dragonstone, and then started torching all the ships, however, the Tyrell force seemed ready enough to destroy twenty of the Ironborn ships before finally succumbing. This sent Victarion Greyjoy on a frenzy to slay Loras Tyrell.

While Victarion was marching up towards the castle, he cut down all in his path, and eventually entered the castle, finding Loras sitting in a chair at the Chamber of the Painted Table. Loras met him with blows, though after a few minutes, succumbed to Victarion's unrelenting attacks. Loras had managed to wound Victarion enough to a point where he'd die.

Victarion succumbed three days later.
