Volantis had also overstretched its resources (foolishly, considering the grand alliance already arrayed against them) by sending a massive fleet on an expedition to the ruins of Old Valyria in the Smoking Sea which was never heard from again. Aegon may have already been pondering an invasion of Westeros, and didn't want to see a powerful new Freehold in Essos to challenge his future empire to the west, so he responded to Volantis's invitation by entering the war on the side of its enemies.Īs these events are summarized by a character in the books, the lesson that can be drawn from Volantene history is, "If you want to conquer the world, you best have dragons." Most importantly, however, was that Volantis had asked the young Aegon I Targaryen of Dragonstone, possessor of the last Valyrian dragons in the world, to enter the conflict on their side. The contributions Lorath made to the conflicts, if any, have not been mentioned. Fire-ships of Qohor and Norvos broke Volantis's control of the Rhoyne River. Popular rebellions in Lys and Myr aided the alliance. Braavos's military did not directly fight against Volantis but it did provide the alliance economic and materiel support, by lending a fleet of 100 warships to a Lysene exile. However, Tyrosh entered into an alliance with Pentos and the Storm Kings of the nearby Stormlands in Westeros. Volantis succeeded in conquering Lys and Myr for two generations, and were on the verge of conquering Tyrosh.
