<p>GoT red-link fill, book-canon (Corvus)</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Valyria&#039;&#039;&#039; was the seat of the greatest civilization in the known history of the world, a peninsula and city on the continent of [[Essos]] whose empire, the [[Valyrian Freehold]], dominated much of the world for some five thousand years before its sudden destruction in the cataclysm known as the [[Doom of Valyria]].<br /> <br /> == The Freehold ==<br /> :&#039;&#039;Main article: [[Valyrian Freehold]]&#039;&#039;<br /> Valyria rose from a nation of shepherds who tamed dragons among the Fourteen Flames, the volcanic mountains that ringed the peninsula. With dragonriders and sorcery the Valyrians conquered rival powers, including the old [[Ghiscari Empire]], and spread their dominion across Essos.<br /> <br /> == Arts and Sorcery ==<br /> The Valyrians were unmatched in their craft. They forged [[Valyrian steel]], rippling blades of surpassing sharpness whose secret was lost with the Doom, and they raised structures of fused stone using dragonfire and magic. The ruins of [[Dragonstone]] and the road-spanning works of Valyria still testify to their power.<br /> <br /> == The Doom ==<br /> The peninsula was destroyed in a single day when the Fourteen Flames erupted, shattering Valyria into a smoking ruin of islands and a poisoned sea called the Smoking Sea. The land is now shunned as cursed; few who sail too near return, and stories tell of stone men and horrors haunting the wreckage. House [[House Targaryen|Targaryen]], having abandoned Valyria for [[Dragonstone]] before the Doom, survived as the last of the dragonlords.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Game of Thrones]]<br /> [[Category:Places]]</div>
