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.
