Corlys Velaryon: Architect of Driftmark's Resurgence
From Humble Origins to Maritime Dominance
Corlys Velaryon, known throughout Westeros as the Sea Snake, stands as a testament to the transformative power of ambition and determination. As the Lord of the Tides, Master of Driftmark, and head of House Velaryon, he has steered his ancestral home to unprecedented heights, establishing it as a maritime powerhouse rivaling the mightiest realms.
A Fabled Lord of the Tides
In his youth, Corlys embarked on nine epic voyages, earning him the legendary moniker "Sea Snake." These extraordinary feats not only expanded the Velaryon fleet but also forged invaluable alliances with distant lands. His astute navigation, daring leadership, and unwavering pursuit of knowledge have made him a revered figure in nautical circles.
Addam Velaryon and the Dragon Connection
Recent developments in the Seven Kingdoms have further solidified Corlys's legacy. His son, Addam, now belongs to a select few who have the honor of riding a dragon. As the bond between Addam and Seasmoke, the former mount of Rhaenyra Targaryen's first husband, deepens, it suggests that even individuals of non-noble birth can wield the ancient power of dragons.
A Hand in Royal Affairs
Corlys's influence extends beyond his domain. As the Hand of the Queen to Princess Rhaenys Targaryen, he plays a pivotal role in shaping the destiny of the realm. His wisdom, experience, and unwavering loyalty make him an indispensable advisor, providing valuable insights and forging strategic alliances.
