The Field of Fire | Aegon's Conquest | Fan-Made Animation

The Field of Fire was a major battle during Aegon I Targaryen's war of conquest.
The two armies met in the plains south of the Blackwater, near the present Goldroad. The allies' charge began to break the Targaryen spear lines, but Aegon and his sisters took to the air on their dragons, Balerion, Meraxes, and Vhagar. The dragons began to set the dry field aflame on all sides, especially upwind of the Gardener and Lannister armies. Lord Mooten's Targaryen forces were safely upwind, allowing them to finish off allied soldiers who emerged from the flame. King Loren rode through the flame to safety when he realized Aegon would be triumphant.

The dragons killed 4,000 men of the combined Lannister and Gardener army, another thousand men perished from sword and spears and arrows while 10,000 men suffered burns. Of the Targaryens less than 100 were lost while Visenya took an arrow to the shoulder.

The battle, the only time in Aegon's Conquest in which all three Targaryen dragons took to the battlefield at the same time, become known afterward as the Field of Fire.

Rhaenys burning the archers who struck Visenya? Balerion having his lore accurate black colored flames?? Please do more because this was incredible.

I love the part that Rhaenys burnt the archers who showered Vhagar with arrows, protecting her elder sister. That showed how strong their bond is. Dorne soon?

Important detail: After this battle/murder ended. Aegon had his men collect all the swords of his enemies and take them to King's Landing. And, with Balerion´s fire, the Iron Throne was created.

5:21 Meraxes watching the surrendering while chewing on her own version of “popcorn”

To think Balerion at the time of the Conquest was as large as Vhagar at her prime. Imagine how large Balerion must've been when Viserys claimed him

[setvenharis]

Whoever that Targaryen foot soldier whose point of view we were looking through was a hell of a warrior. I lost count how many Lannister/Gardener troops he cut down. I hope he avoided the dragonfire.

This might be unintentional but I LOVE how Aegon looks age-appropriate, and *not* a "Henry Cavill" muscle-head type of guy. 🔥🔥🔥

Aegon's Conquest deserves an adaptation. It's just war after war and more wars

[yamochanchan]

Its pretty nice to see how your young Vhagar would turn into old Iguana Grandma Vhagar that wants to do nothing but sleep or knitt or burn the Dhornish Sands until they are glass~ Very well done~

[tamyrlin]

I felt so immersed in this. Imagine the morale boost when there's a dragon running into battle behind you.

Meraxes casually eating the losers after the battle 😆

Got chill bumps while watching this- Visenya hit by an arrow and Rhaenys answering the enemy with fire and blood- just simply AMAZING. I am OBSESSED with your videos and I appreciate you sharing them so freaking much.

Still praying to the old gods and the new that you create a battle of the gullet video! ❤❤❤

[quailjailss]

I just keep finding more details about this that I’m obsessed with- love how balerion, meraxes, and vhagar fly by the camera frame and turn as the sequence of music plays with each one passing and turning. I can’t tell you how much I love this. I’ve already watched it about 30x so far lol

I truly did not want this clip to end, absolutely amazing work as always!!

[targaryen]

As a Targaryen fan, this pleases me very much! I loved the attention to the details, such as Balerion's flames being black just like described. I also love your models of Aegon, Rhaenys and Visenya. I hope the Conquest show happens and they make Aegon look similar to this.

BRO THIS IS INSANE, I GOT GOOSEBUMPS, HBO SHOULD HIRE YOU, NOW!!!

Maegor the Cruel vs Aegon the Uncrowned. Balerion vs Quicksilver

[lunapuppi]

I just watched the spoils of war episode in Game of Thrones where there is the second field of fire and this notification for this video came up. Sign of the old gods

5:19 I love this reference ❤ Excellent work as always 🔥🔥🔥

Flash backs of Queen Daenerys burning 🔥 the Lannisters army back in season 7, those were some good times. 🔥🐉
