Because of their shared blood through Aemma Arryn, Rhaenyra anticipates that Lady Arryn will declare for her at the start of the Dance of the Dragons. She sends her son Jacaerys to treat with her.[5]

Lady Arryn speaks with Rhaena, stating that the Eyrie is impregnable, unless it is attacked dragons. Rhaena responds that in exchange for Lady Arryn's promise of 15,000 soldiers, Rhaenyra promised protection, and fulfilled her promise by sending two dragons to the Vale. Unimpressed, Lady Arryn points out that these dragons are still young, and she cannot afford waiting till they grow up.[6]

When Rhaena returns to the Vale on Sheepstealer, she is met by Lady Arryn. When told of the Battle of the Gullet, she reveals that she had been informed of Jacaerys's death. Jeyne angrily refuses Rhaena's request for asylum, believing she has only brought danger, due to Sheepstealer's presence, and banishes her from the Vale. When Rhaena reminds her of wanting protection and offers to protect the Vale with her dragon, Lady Arryn allows her to remain but states that she never wants to see her again. Notes: (Jeyne does not have any sons/daughters as she has "no appetite for men" and is believed to have a lover named Jessamyn Redfort, a noblewoman and Jeyne's "dear companion"
