During the War of the Ninepenny Kings, Vaemond Velaryon, lord of Driftmark, was killed by an arrow of the Golden Company. He was succeded by his 28 year old son Aemond Velaryon, who had big plans for his house. Allready a great sailor, he brought great wealth to his house. He never sailed as far as Corlys the Sea Snake, he sailed as far as Quarth, Ibben and Summer Islands, and he established many trade routes for his house. As his wealth grew, he was able to expand both the Velaryon fleet and army, so by the time of Robert's Rebellion, he commanded a force of 8000 men, and 70 ships. He married lady Alys Rowan, and with her, he had three sons: Monford, Haegon and Lucerys. Monford, born in 255 AC was physically weak, but, always trying to please his father he was pushing himself to be a warrior. That, unfourtanently, led to his tragic death in 279 AC, in a tournament. All he had left behind was a two year old bastard son, Aurane Waters. Haegon, born in 262 AC was built like a warrior, he was short and strong, with wide shoulders and chest. His temper was also made for battle, as he was quick to anger, and fierce. Despite his silver hair and purple eyes, he was not a pretty man. His brother, Lucerys, born in 265 AC was a diffirent story. He was tall, thin, and pretty in face. While his brother could hold his own in almost any fight, Lucerys was a master swordsman, on par with people like Barristan Selmy, Arthur Dayne, and Jaimie Lannister. He was also more thoughtfull, and patient than his brother. However, when he was 13, he suffered an accident which left him impotent. Despite their differences, brothers got along very well, and they were always each other's best friends.

When Robert's Rebellion came, Haegon and Lucerys led the Velaryon and royal fleet, by Aemond's order, in a campaign against Vale, which was succesfull in diverting large portion of Arryn army from the Riverlands. They won several victories, and they managed to capture Gulltown, and Heart's home, but The Battle of the Trident still ended with Targaryen defeat, and death of Rhaegar Targaryen. After Hearing this, Velaryon and Targaryen forces in the Vale set off for King's Landing. They arrived just as the Lannister army was entering the city. Haegon fought them in the City, while Lucerys lead his men to Red Keep, and recaptured a large part of it from Lannisters, and Amory Lorch was slain. Even though he couldn't save Aerys Targaryen, Elia Martell, or her children, he managed to save Ashara Dayne, who was there in this timeline. However, he was wounded by Jamie Lannister in single combat, and when Stark forces arrived, Velaryons were forced to retreat from the city, being hopelesly outnumbered. After that, Velaryons had bent the knee to Robert, but Daenerys and Viserys were still kidnapped by loyalists. Soon after, Haegon married Ashara Dayne.

After Robert's Rebellion, Velaryons started pursuing closer relations with Essos, namely, house Rogare of Lys. They saw mutual interests in the area of Stepstones, and house Rogare was looking for a strong ally against Myr and Tyrosh. Together they fought a war against the alliance of Stepstones pirates, rival houses in Lys, and Tyrosh and Myr. They won the war, and house Velaryon took control of the Stepstones, while house Rogare became the undisputed master of Lys, and took the Disputed Lands from it's rival cities. Haegon and Ashara had two sons, Arthur, born in 283 AC, who died a sickly infant, and Daemon, born in 284 AC.

At the age of eight, Daemon was taken aboard the ship of his uncle Lucerys, 'The Longing', and there he was trained by his uncle, and also se Hugh the Fearsome, one of the greatest fighters in the world. He was also educated by Maester Raymond, and septon Roland, who were taken aboard as well. In 291 AC, Daemon's twin sisters, Alys and Elia, were born.
