targaryen incest? we don't know her here. this series does also mess with timelines and ages, here is a lay of the land as it stands:
rhaenyra's (40) claim to the throne is BACKED by her uncle daemon (56) targaryen, but they are unwed, and have never had any form of a romantic connection.
she has three sons, by her deceased husband, laenor velaryon (who are in fact the true children of ser harwin strong, also deceased).
jacaerys (21)
lucerys (18)
joffrey (15)
aegon ii (24) was named king by the hightowers following the death of viserys i.
he is not, nor has he ever been wed to his sister helaena.
he is unwed, and has no heirs - at least, none of trueborn legal standing.
aemond one eye (23).
helaena (20)
daeron (19)
daemon's progeny, with laena velaryon, his second wife:
baela (22)
rhaena (22)
the two sides are now forming and taking stock as our story comes to beginning, with the official sending of rhaenyra's two oldest sons on dragonback – to house stark in the north, and house baratheon in the east to seek their alliances.
as for house stark —
cregan (24) stark is the current lord and warden of the north, following throwing his uncle, bennard stark and his three sons, into prison after bennard refused to relinquish his regency over the title.
cregan has one young son, and heir, rickon (2) stark, by his first wife - a childhood friend of his and his sister's, arra norrey, who passed away during childbirth.
he is the the bonded companion of a pale white, female direwolf named solas.
cregan is often referred to as the wolf of the north, or sometimes simply the wolf, a staunch reminder of his power and willingness to follow through on what is dutiful and right.
aoife (26) stark is cregan's older sister, who after the death of their mother, despite their closeness in age, was often the only womanly figure he had in his upbringing.
she is the bonded companion of a dark black, male direwolf named ciar.
known kindly to those at winterfell as lady winter, though it's said the further south one travels, the more concerning her reputation becomes. stemming solely from an incident that befell her while her uncle was serving as lord regent, most whispers about aoife stark name her unbecoming and cruel, the wolf's frost bitch sister.
fintan stark, deceased. the younger brother of the stark siblings. killed by wildlings.
small folk of house stark –
miesha, a serving maid.
byrdie snow, aoife's favored handmaiden.
her mother, rosalyn, another of aoife's maids.
