      I think so too. But hear this- The town nearest to Valyria is inhabited by these mutated people, multiple heads and limbs and other deformities are common. I wonder if toxic fumes, or other factors are what’s causing those transformations, and if so what happens to those who get even closer to the ruined stronghold? Could it be that the reason there wasn’t a single survivor is because they’ve all died to or were turned into John Carpenter-esque shambling horrors? Is Valyria dead or have the surviving inhabitants changed? Something is there that is big enough to wound Balarion- I could envision a mutated writhing mass consisting of the 30,000 troops and a dragon doing such a thing.

      @@Freakincident The books hint at fire wyrms existing in Valyria. Aerea is infected with worm-like snake things with hands that cook her from the inside, and it's that trip to Valyria that wounds Balerion. The Faceless Men tell Arya of fire wyrms that lived in the Fourteen Flames. So I think the most likely reason for Valyria's dangerousness (aside from magical radiation or whatever) is probably fire wyrms that now breach the surface because of Valyria's increased volcanic activity. I can imagine Aurion's host getting scattered by a monstrous fire wyrm and then dying to the noxious fumes and shit.

      ​@Freakincident I imagined something similar. The idea that Balerian could be hurt by anything post-Doom was unbelievable, considering his legendary size... unless, he was attacked by something even bigger and more vicious. Automatically thought that only the dragon from the emperor's army could survive in a toxic magic wasteland. If Balerion came back in that bad of shape, I figure that the emperor and his troops are for sure dead. Mutants would be a cool story, though!

Thus far nobody knows what happened, and why nobody who enters returns (like here, where 30 000 men just disappeared). There are some theories, but none are confirmed yet.

    Aurion wasn't the only non-Targaryen dragon lord to survive the Doom either. There were many dragonlords and dragons on Lys at the time. Somehow the commoners of Lys learned of the doom before their overlords and used the opportunity to kill all the dragonlords in their beds and to slay the dragons while they were chained up in their dragon stables. To me that is the biggest hint that the Doom was not accident but part of a conspiracy.

    People inside the ASOIaF and irl (based on these comments) definitely don't understand what the Doom actually was.
    If you heard that *FOURTEEN* volcanoes previously only kept dormant by fire mages, and likely building in pressure over those centuries+ of restraint, had just exploded all at once killing not only every Dragonlord in the Freehold but every dragon... why would you go there AT ALL? 1 volcano is devastating enough, and we're talking all FOURTEEN that Valyria was basically built on top of.
    Ambitious or not, that is a HUGELY dumb idea, especially when you and your huge dragon(s) could now have basically ruled over all of Essos unchallenged by any rival worth worrying about, just as the Targaryens did in Westeros.

      Well he probably wouldn't have been the Lone Dragon rider. Let's say he decides to not go to Valyria and sets up shop in one of the free cities. GRRM has confirmed that there were Dragonriders in other free cities at the time but the smallfolk rose up and killed them and potentially their dragons before they could "regroup" so to speak. Aurion going to Valyria and disappearing pretty much sealed the fate of any Dragonriders left. If he didn't go then the Aurion could have gathered up at least a few called them to where he was and established a Valyrian empire.. even if he still ended up the last Dragonlord in Essos the Targaryens proved that they were more than willing to get involved in Essos wars when they felt like it. Many people forget that before the Targaryens conquered Westros they pretty much singlehandedly stopped Volantis from Conquering the other free cities (now imagine if Volantis had a Dragon lord or two for that war)

It’s just this plot of land that somehow causes people to disappear or suffer severe injury like when that one Targaryen Princess who was flown to Valyria on I think Balerion, and came back with an absolutely traumatised dragon and a body full of flaming parasites. We’re left to imagine what could possibly be happening at Valyria.

At a certain point Brann wards into Drogon and Jon becomes his new rider saving much of the people, giants, children of his new freehold. He raises an army and gives chase into the shadowlands. At this point Drogon would be quickly gaining size, speed, and power beyond that of Vhagar
