The North Pacific Kingdom
Alliances & Enemies
The North Pacific Kingdom is in an alliance several kingdoms as of now and continues to not draw in enemies. It was because of King's Robert's army that Amelia was able to overthrow the usurpers that overthrew her father before she was born. The South Pacific are not just her allies but her family. During Robert's tourney Amelia gained two new allies in the South Atlantic Kingdom and the Kingdom of Tripartite. How the King of Drake will see her allying herself with the South Atlantic Kingdom concerns her but whatever happens she has made her choice.
Amelia is a charismatic leader, who grew into her confidence. For a long time, she was reserved and introverted. It is because of love, understanding and encouragement of the family that raised her as one of their own that Amelia grew from the shy girl she once was to the young woman she is today. Amelia is extremely sensitive to what other people are thinking and feeling. She craves harmony and peace, and empathizes strongly with suffering. As a young child she followed Ser Jorah Mormont, and internalized the values and feelings of those she came into contact with. When she began riding with the Dothraki, she assimilated their values as well, creating a more complex identity and worldview. She picks up on subtlety and subtext, and knows when her friends and followers are struggling and when they stand passionately behind her. Before she reclaimed her father's throne the thing that motivated to do so was the desire to bring peace and stability back to her kingdom, rather than a personal desire of “I deserve this”. Amelia has always and will always think, “they need me” before anything else.
Although Amelia always has a plan up her sleeve, she rarely tells people of them. She does not need to talk her ideas out with others in order to organize them, instead preferring to meditate on her sense of logic and order alone. Finding a logical order to her philosophies and actions is less important to Amelia than her drive to make the world around her at peace, but it is still an important function in her decision-making process.
She is future driven, always looking to long-term goals and how her choices will help or hurt her plans. She looks for contingency plans and keeps in mind how to move forward. She is primarily driven by her future plans, when she is put under stress she can get wrapped up in her immediate problems. She gets so focused on fixing and harmonizing the immediate world around her that she is observing. She transitions well from one environment to another, and rarely reflects back on the past. She cares about where she is going, where she is the past is something she can never change so she chooses not to dwell on it.
Although tirelessly ambitious, Amelia is not driven by a sense of deserving or the craving of the personal power of being a leader. Amelia does what she does on principal and because she feels that it is her responsibility and duty to protect and care for her people. She has a strong sense of purpose and destiny to her kindness opposed to strictly being compassionate. Amelia is polite and well-spoken, but filled with quiet determination. She is somewhat naive of the world due to being young and living her life as an exile (with only her guard to rely on for knowledge of the world), but she is intelligent and quick to understand now that she is free to pursue her own path.
It is said that the Stormborn kings tended to be either madmen or brilliant rulers, and Amelia seems to have inherited a natural gift for leadership as her birthright. Her followers generally regard her with great respect and love, and she is often compared to her deceased brother Rhaegar, a similarly charismatic leader who was known for his skill, determination, scholarly mind and strong sense of justice. Her primary weakness as a ruler is her youth and relative inexperience; however, she has a keen intellect and learns quickly from her mistakes.
She has emerged from the hardships of her life as a strong, confident, courageous woman. Nevertheless, she has not forgotten what it was like to be one without power, and her experiences have left her with a compassion that is unusual for those of her high stature. She is determined to bring justice through her reign, and has made ending slavery a particular priority. Despite her strong moral compass, however, she is capable of dealing ruthlessly with her enemies

Before Amelia was even born her life was in danger of ending before it started. Two Kings of neighboring cities to the kingdom had joined forces and wage war against her father. Her father had had no real allies to speak of who would help the North Pacific in its time of need, and the combined powers were a force her father wasn't prepared nor equipped to handle alone. He had done what he could to defend his home but in the end he was no match for his enemies. Amelia was conceived during the last month of the war that would ultimately ended her family's reign over the North Pacific Kingdom. On the fateful night on which her father was slain her oldest brother Rhaegar was fell defending the castle and her father was slain in the throne room.
If it wasn't for Ser Jorah Mormont a knight of her father's Kingsguard, that night the entire Stormborn family would have been butchered. However, because of this man Amelia's mother Queen Rhaella and her brother Viserys made it out of the castle alive. The heavily pregnant queen and the young prince along with their faithful knight had managed to evaded death. Even though they had eluded their own demise they had lost not only their kingdom but a beloved King and Prince. Jorah smuggled what remained of the royal family away and took them to Indian Kingdom where part of his family lived. It was there that Amelia the only daughter and youngest child of King Aerys II Stormborn and Queen Rhaella was born. She was named after the first Amelia in her family and was most like named by her mother. Her mother died in labor. This left just her and Viserys as the only living Stormborn heirs.
Jorah family had attempted to turn over to the royal siblings in exchange for money, but before they could act on this plan, Ser Jorah Mormont and several other loyalist rescued the children and sailed them across the African Ocean to the South Atlantic Kingdom, where they lived in hiding for years. The Stormborn loyalists in the South Atlantic who raised the two children considered Viserys the rightful ruler of the North Pacific Kindom despite the family's defeat and exile, as did Viserys himself. He regarded it as his duty to revenge himself on the usurpers who murdered his family and reclaim the birthright that had been stolen from him when he was only a child. In the years that followed, Viserys wandered the South Atlantic with Amelia, trying to raise support to retake the throne, which earned him the mocking title of "The Beggar King."
As a result of this long humiliation, Viserys grew bitter and obsessed with his long-denied birthright. Amelia was the only convenient target for his frustration, and over time he even came to blame her for their mother's death. He took pride in his lack of control of his own temper, regarding it as proof that he was a true heir of the Stormborn kings; he regularly warned Amelia not to "wake the dragon" by angering him. She was bright enough to realize that most of Viserys' plans for retaking the North Pacific were unrealistic, and as she had no memory of the kingdom herself, his dream meant little to her; instead she longed to find a place she could call home. With no family other than the abusive Viserys and no expectation of ever escaping his control, Dany grew into a fearful and docile young woman.
Viserys and Amelia eventually found the help they sought in St.Helena City of the South Atlantic Kingdom, in the form of a rich and powerful family, who invited them to stay in their mansion and offered Viserys help in reclaiming the throne he felt was his by birthright. It was with this family that for the first time in her life Amelia felt like she actually had a home. The nobles who took them in had an older son named Jon who Jorah said was the age her brother Rhaegar would be if he had still been alive. Amelia grew close to the young man and the two formed a strong bond. He protected Amelia from Viserys rages when he could and the two became inseparable. One day while out in the forest they came across a dead dire wolf and her pups. Of all the pups one had stood out to Amelia. The runt of the litter an albino pup with red eyes. Jon collected all the pups and took them home and just like the family had done with Stormborn children they took the pups in raising them.
While Amelia began attached to all the dire wolf pups the one she had named Ghost was the one she had a special bond with. Ghost, who was the smallest of his pack, eventually grew to be larger of his littermates. Silent, sullen and watchful, Ghost became not only Amelia's companion but also her protector. Never leaving her side Ghost and Amelia had become inseparable just as Amelia and Jon. Ghost proved his loyalty to Amelia the day assassins broke into the mansion in attempt to kill the Stormborn children. Word had reached the rulers who had overthrown her father that the true heirs of the throne were still alive. In fear of the rightful rulers retaking the throne they had put a bounty out on both Viserys and Amelia heads. Viserys was killed during the assassination but because of Ghost Amelia survived. It was clear that Amelia was nor longer safe in the South Atlantic Kingdom. The next day she gifted with a horse by the people who had become her family and Jon had told her to take Ghost as well. She and her dire wolf along with Ser Jorah Mormont fled the kingdom.
The nomadic life she lived as a child became her life once again moving across the lands never staying in any one place for a long period of time. While Viserys was cruel he was the only real family she had ever known and the lost of him stirred sadness as well as a fire within her. The death of the only brother she had ever known filled her with anger she had never felt before. The only thing her brother had ever wanted was to reclaim what had been stolen from their family and Amelia was going to do this for her fallen brother. She would retake the throne and restore her family's name and kingdom.
IA little over a year later Amelia found herself in the East Siberian Kingdom. Even after fifteen years living in exile there were still loyalist devoted to the Stormborn name. The name that Amelia now stood the only living descendant of. She and Ser Jorah along with their horses and Ghost stayed in a small city within the kingdom for several months until a Dothraki khalasar raided the city. To stop the khalasar from destroying the city the lord of the city gave her to the khal as a gift. Drogo was the Khal or warlord of the Dothraki Khalasar, the famed nomadic horse-lord of the eastern continent beyond the Great Asian Ocean. Drogo was consider young to be Khal with a khalasar, especially such a large one with his numbering 40,000 riders. He was a legendary warrior and had never been defeated in battle. The thing that Drogo desired the most was the most beautiful and exotic woman in the world. He wanted this woman to be his khaleesi or wife and in Amelia he saw the woman he wanted that to be.
Amelia didn't want to be his wife but her options were limited and it was either be his wife or his whore. At least in being his wife she gained position among the khalasar and 40,000 deadly horse-mounted warriors. Which seeing as she had no army and would need an army to retake her throne would be useful. Getting married was something she known she'd have to do when she became Queen she just never expected her marriage to be to someone like Khal Drogo. The Dothraki culture was a culture shock to Amelia. Her wedding alone was something completely unexpected and so unlike her the culture of the North Pacific. At the wedding she giving gifts by many, mostly out of fear of what Khal Drogo would do if they didn't supply a gift. The Lord of the city who gave Amelia to Drogo also brought a gift. He gifted her with three petrified dragon eggs that time had turned to stone.
They were the most beautiful things she had ever seen, each different than the others, patterned in such rich colors that at first she thought they were crusted with jewels, and so large it took both of her hands to hold one. The dragons were the symbol of her family and had been extinct for centuries. The people of her lineage were known to have a special affinity with the creatures. Even a Stormborn like Amelia who knew nothing really of her true heritage felt a connection with the relics of the ancient animals. The connection she felt to the stone turned eggs; caused her to develop a curiosity about the race and the possibility that there may still be living dragons.
Life in the khalasar was difficult at first; although surrounded by people Amelia felt alone and was unaccustomed to spending her days at time riding horseback. Nevertheless, she was determined to embrace her new life. Gradually her body strengthened and she began to enjoy life among the khalasar and the sense of freedom it embodied her. Amelia seeks advice from one of her handmaidens Doreah, trained in the pleasure houses a former bedslave, on how to best please her husband. Doreah teaches Amelia how to use her sexuality to influence Drogo and win the status of an equal in his eyes. Her other handmaiden Irri teaches Amelia to speak the Dothraki language. Ser Jorah once her protector becomes also an advisor to the new khaleesi being the person she entrusts the most. She begins to assert herself more and more. She loses her fear of both of the Dothraki, becoming a strong and confident woman who little resembles the timid girl so once was when her brother was still among the living. Ameila grows more confident and begins issues commands to the khalasar. Her growing courage pleases Drogo, and they developed a loving relationship.
Despite loving her life as a khaleesi Amelia had not forgotten about her crown still awaiting her in her kingdom. As the relationship between her and Drogo strengthened she began trying to persuade him to use their men to take back what was rightfully hers. Drogo however, was not easily convinced and every time she brought up the subject he'd shoot down the idea saying "A King does not a chair to sit upon. He only needs a horse." This frustrated her to no end but there was really nothing so could do. Fortunately for her she had not been forgot by the those who had wronged her before she was even born and they still wanted her dead. When an assassin failed in attempt to poison the sixteen year old khaleesi with wine Khal Drogo became enraged. That night he vowed to her in front of the khalasar that he would take back the throne for his khalessi and kill all who stood in his way.
This was the plan and for the first time her dream of reclaiming her father's throne seemed possible. Until Khal Drogo was taken from her just as her family was. Drogo had started war against the North Pacific and in war there are many battles. Amelia knew that bloodshed was apart of war and was fine with that. What she wasn't okay with was how after ever victory her bloodriders would rape the women of the village or city they'd just sacked. The sight disturbed Amelia and once she had finally had enough of the treatment being given to the defeated she gave orders to stop every rape she saw, claiming the victims as her personal slaves and taking them under her protection. The Dothraki filled with angered directed at their khaleesi for denying them their traditional right to rape captives, but Amelia did not budge holding her ground, prompting Jorah to comment that she reminded him of Rhaegar. Khal Drogo, delighted by his wife's boldness, supported her decision.
One of the bloodriders, Mago, objects and challenges Drogo to combat. Drogo slays him easily, but sustains a chest wound in the quick fight. A priestess, Mirri Maz Duur, offers to treat him, and although the khalasar reviled the woman as a maegi, Amelia feels that she could trust her, as Mirri was one of the women she had rescued. Drogo allowed the priestess to treat him but the wound festers, making him too weak to ride. In the Dothraki culture a Khal who cannot ride cannot lead. Jorah explained to Dany that her position as khaleesi is entirely dependent on Drogo, and without him, she was likely to be killed. Desperate, she begs Mirri Maz Duur to save her husband, ignoring the possible consequences of blood magic. The maegi agrees to preform blood magic on Drogo but in the end her husband is left in a vegetable state. Mirri Maz Duur reveals that this was the true price of the blood magic, and that she felt no gratitude toward Amelia, who had "rescued" her only after she had been raped multiple times and seen her community destroyed.
The man Amelia had once known was now gone and she could not let him live out the rest of his days as a shell of his former self. She euthanizes Drogo and is abandoned by most of the khalasar, which break into rival war-bands. Jorah urges her to flee with him, while the men of left of the khalasar offer to escort her to Vaes Dothrak to take her place as a former khaleesi among the dosh khaleen. Amelia, however, decides to finally take control of her destiny. She orders Mirri Maz Duur bound to Drogo's funeral pyre and places the three dragon eggs around his corpse, then announces to the remaining followers that she is freeing those who were enslaved, and will lead them all to glory if they chose to follow her. She offers to Aggo, Jhogo and Rakharo the traditional gifts of a khal to his bloodriders; each refuse, saying that to serve as bloodrider to a woman would shame them, but Amelia ignores their objections. Ser Jorah accepts her offer, and she names him the first of her Queensguard.
When the funeral pyre is lit Amelia walks unflinchingly into the flames. The resulting magic restores life to the eggs, from which three dragons hatch, the first known for centuries. Daenerys emerges from the fire unharmed. Drogo's former khalasar, now hers more surely than they had ever been Drogo's, kneels in awe. Aggo, Jhogo and Rakharo willingly swear themselves as her bloodriders, and Daenerys becomes the first female Dothraki war-leader, a khaleesi in her own right.
[i]In the wake of Drogo's death hard times fell upon Amelia and those who remained by her side. When Drogo was alive her khalasar was one of the largest in all the lands, if not the largest. The majority of the khaslasar deserted her after the death of her Khal and what remained were a couple dozen warriors and mostly woman and their children. Amelia leads her diminished khalasar across the land, in hopes of receiving shelter she returns to city that housed her before giving her away to Drogo. She tries to feed her newborn dragons along the way, but they refuse the raw meat she offers. Although dragons have no fixed gender differentiation she regards the dragons as her boys and names them after her late husband and fallen brothers.
Amelia leads her people back to the city and when she gets there is disappointed at the cool reception she receives. The lord that once ruled over the city she finds has since died and the new ruling council denies her entry. The new ruling council, the Thirteen, refuses to let her in unless she shows them her dragons, which she refuses to do. She threatens the new rulers but they are not phased by her threats. Just when it seems she will be turned away, the Qartheen dignitary Xaro Xhoan Daxos vouches for her and her people. With his voucher for the Mother of Dragons her and her people are allowed to enter the newly renamed city of Qarth.
Amelia and her surviving people are made guests in Xaro's lavish home. There she begins to teach her dragons to cook and eat their own meat, and slowly they begin to breathe fire on command. Their host holds a reception in Amelia's honor and she is introduced to Pyat Pree of the Warlocks of Qarth. He demonstrates his magic by replicating himself and invites her to visit his order at the House of the Undying. Towards the days end Xaro shows Amelia the Valyrian steel vault that guards his fortune and offers to fund her war against the North Pacific Kingdom in exchange for her hand in marriage. She is eager to seize the opportunity but when she seeks Ser Jorah's counsels he advises Amelia against entering Xaro's debt. Although she knows denying Xaro's offer puts her on the harder path she takes Jorah's council to heart and denies the proposal.
Amelia unsuccessfully appeals to the merchant nobles of Qarth to aid her in her quest to reclaim the throne. After the unproductive meeting she returned to Xaro's home to find that it has been attacked; most of her men had been brutally murdered, Irri was dead, and the dragons were missing. Xaro hosts a council meeting with the Thirteen so Amelia can ask for their help. During the meeting Pyat Pree reveals that he was responsible for the dragon-napping and Xaro announces his intention to seize control of the city. The warlock uses his magic to murder the rest of the Thirteen. He repeats his invitation to Amelia, telling her that her children are at the House of the Undying. Amelia flees while Jorah and her bloodriders attempted and failed to kill the warlock.
They take refuge in a disused courtyard and Amelia convinces Jorah to accompany her to the House of the Undying to reclaim her dragons despite being certain that it is a trap. On their arrival Amelia is separated from her guards by the warlock's magic. She is confronted by a series of visions, one of her awaiting throne and another of her lost Drogo. She has an emotional conversation with Drogo, but ultimately realizes that it is an illusion. Having overcome the temptation she finds herself held captive by Pyat Pree. He tells her that he plans to keep her with her dragons because she increases they're power and they increase his power. She tells gives her dragons the command to breathe fire and together the three young dragons roast the warlock alive and are able to escape the House of the Undying. Returning to Xaro's home she confronts him for his treachery and as payment for his betrayal, Amelia takes him to his vault, which proves to be empty. Enraged she locks the man inside the vault to die of starvation. With no money in the vault she salvages the man's valuables and possessions.
Shortly after the business in Qarth Amelia learnt that she still had family ties in the world. The blood of the dragon did not run through their reins as it did hers but true dragons or not they would be all she had in the world if this proved to true. According to Ser Jorah he had once heard that her ancestor Aegon Stormborn had a half bastard brother. This brother being a bastard in the world would have never been able to sit upon the throne and knew this much. Wanting a kingdom of his own he had left the North Pacific and while the details weren't clear he had managed to rule in the South Pacific. This meant that King Robert Baratheon was in someway blood of her blood and he was the only chance she had left of reclaiming her kingdom.
Dany was excited and hopeful that this king of the south could be just what she need to help her reclaim the North Pacific, a home at last, but she worried what would become of Qarth if she decided to leave. All members of the Thirteen were dead which left no one to reside over and protect the people of Qarth. Amelia had a choice at that moment. She could either use the possessions she had taken Xaro and buy her ship and leave the city to it's own dismay. Or stay in the city and rule it as if it was the kingdom she would one day take reclaim. She worries over it and the people and in the end decides the people and the city are worth more than her personal wants. This is what makes her decide to stay in Qarth and rule over it's people as their Queen.
Months passed until she felt secure enough to leave the city and journey to the south. Her khalasar who feared the "poison water" she allowed to stay in Qarth to protect the city as she left to plead to king across the world for his help. With her dragons and Ser Jorah in toe she ship sailed across the three great oceans to reach the South Pacific Kingdom. The journey had been long but it in that amount of time Amelias' dragons had grown a considerable amount. They still weren't large enough to be used as weapons of war to invade the North Pacific, but were now capable of hunting for themselves. Now at the age of seventeen Amelia had been through a lot and had changed immensely nor longer the meek young child she was when Viserys was still alive. She was stronger, wiser and more determined than ever. She meet with King Robert and appealed for his aid calling upon the ancient blood they both shared through the Baratheon's ancestor Durren and the Stormborn ancestor of Aegon. Amelia told the king of her plight and what she had gone through in the fight to reclaim her throne. She told of her father and eldest brother who died trying to defend their home, her mother who died bringing her into the world, her life as an exile, her marriage to the Dothraki Horse Lord, his death, the birth of her dragons and how she fought to get them back when they had been stole from her. She told the King of all she had been through and in the end he agreed to help her take back her throne.
He amassed his vast army to lend their strength to hers. The people of the South Pacific had fallen in love with the dragon queen almost instantly and she loved them back as if they were her own people. Her tale of exile, hardship and strength touched their hearts and they sang for her victories in her home land. United as one, the true ruler of the North Pacific, she led her forces home with the Black Stag of Baratheon supporting her. Amelia led the charge against the Usurpers following the men into battle as her children rained fire down from above. Despite being outnumbered the Black Stags were skilled and powerful and with her dragons and khalasar, destroyed all in their wake.
As she lead the men inland they were met by a massive unified host of some ninety thousand strong in a rolling field of wheat. In what later would be known as the Field of Fire, Amelia unleashed the full power of her three dragons and they burnt her enemies to ash. On that day Amelia took back what was hers with "Fire and Blood" as was the only way of the dragon. It is said near sixty thousand men that day died while Amelia herself, suffered zero casualties. This battle alone is what marked the end of the Usurper's rule in her kingdom.
By day's end the battle that Amelia had longed for was over and she stood victorious. The combined might of Amelia's forces, her dragons, and the Baratheon Host marched on the capitol. They arrived to find open gates and a city in surrender. The high lords feared sharing the same fate as those on the field of fire and wisely bent the knee to accept the Queen's Justice. As her dragons took to the skies over the capitol city of the North Pacific Kingdom Amelia Stormborn, Rightful Queen of the North Pacific Kingdom, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, The Unburnt, Mother of Dragons, The Silver Queen finally sat upon the throne her father had sat upon before her birth. The victory she had long sought was finally hers and her reign had only just begun. This marked not only the return of a Stormborn to power but the start of a great friendship with the South Pacific who are as of now the North Pacific's strongest allies.
