Ghosts of Valyria- An ASOIAF NG
It would be those very few that survived who would become ghosts.
Valyria is dead and has been for twenty years. The world is anew and its years are measured by the age of Valyria's scorched corpse. Many would say that the Valyrians had merely reaped what they had sowed, for they had built an empire on fire and they had been consumed by it. Some to say it was the work of the Gods' for their enslavement of a continent. Others would say that it was not wise to build their capital city among fourteen large, active volcanoes. Wise men may be able to answer it in the far future, but for now we are in the Bleeding Years. The world is open now, and the powerful will carve out as much if it as they can.
When Valryia was destroyed however, not all the Dragonlords were there. The Targaryens had fled to Dragonstone right before the Doom. Aurion resided in Qohor. Aeryvar Qaraeris had been enjoying the pleasure houses in Lys years before the cataclysm. Eraenya Daeritheos was in Tyrosh for the month when it occured. Others survived were never seen again when they attempted to return to Valyria. These few are the last remnants of what was the most powerful empire on the planet.
