Baelyx Targaryen

Baelyx Targaryen is a mythical person whose true identity was the world wanderer Alanna Ordunn. The myth first surfaced during the later parts of the War of the Five Kings around 303 AC when Daenerys Targaryen was the last known living Targaryen in the Known World.

The myth tells the story of a young female Targaryen of unknown but allegedly unquestionable parentage who lives in hiding and on travels. In the beginning, the myth was linked to a rumour of an old Targaryen family member having found his death north of the Wall, which quite obviously refers to the passing of Aemon Targaryen in 302 AC; but this connection quickly lost importance and was rendered unlikely. Talk around Baelyx later died for a while until the story resurfaced after the end of the Great War and Dany's Pact. People started discussing the parentage and many different versions of the myth started to circulate, the most popular and believable yet mystical describing her as a young girl who travels the stars and different realities. She was said to have the typical Targaryen features of long platinum blonde hair and bright blue eyes. More poetic details added by many bards and storytellers included Baelyx defying natural laws and dining with the gods as well as planning to take over the entire dimension. Other versions painted her as a mighty warrior who lives in the wilder parts of Essos and on the Summer Islands or Sothoryos. Many people swore they had either seen her once or known others personally who did.

A few years after Dany's Pact Alanna Ordunn came to Westeros and entered Dragonstone to confront Daenerys after recently learning about being related to the Targaryen family. Neither her nor Daenerys knew which Targaryen gave blood for Alanna's artificial creation but Daenerys believed Alanna's story after a demonstration of her being fireproof and because of the existence of the myth around Baelyx Targaryen. Alanna officially took on the name of Baelyx Targaryen while acting in the Known World and the truth behind the myth became widely known.
