Maidenpool, late at night.
Jaime Lannister had received the finest education in warfare, but this was the first time he commanded a battle on his own. In his younger years, before he earned the title "Kingslayer" by driving his sword into Aerys's chest, his goal had been to match the legend...

The Unsullied patrolled with meticulous precision, and even the Dothraki cavalry—now reformed through labor—were unusually docile. In fact, they were far better off under Viserys than they had been under Drogo. Not only were they given meat to eat from tim...

Quentyn, eager to see the largest city in the Seven Kingdoms from the sky, had no say in the matter. Without control over Vyrgion, the dragon...

Leaning against the stairs, Viserys heard a familiar voice. He had only met Renly once, at one of Robert’s feasts, and the encounter had left little impression. Yet now, the voice was unmistakably Renly’s.
His tone was languid, almost stick...

He really did love adventures too much, and he knew he should at least use the Moon's Revelation to divine his next steps.

Apart from Doran, it could be said that hardly any noble in all of Dorne had ever seen Viserys. When the Dornish army poured into the city, Viserys and Daenerys landed directly in front of Doran's tent.
