Fire and Blood, the famous saying eternally attached to house Targaryen. For years and years, their iconic and fearsome sigil has been a subject of controversay throughout all of Westeros. Whether you were a Stark or a Lannister. Targaryens meant trouble. Now, if you a big fan of George R. R. Martin’s work, you may have more knowledge on the Targaryens.
