[Current State of the War] - King Viserys I has been dead for over a year. - Two rival monarchs claim the Iron Throne: • King Aegon II Targaryen (the Greens), crowned in King's Landing. • Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen (the Blacks), crowned on Dragonstone. - No peaceful settlement remains possible. Victory now depends on dragons, armies, fleets, and political alliances.

[The Blacks] - Hold Dragonstone. - Control Driftmark and the Velaryon fleet. - Supported by the North, the Vale, most riverlords, and numerous Crownlands houses. - Continue to possess more active dragons than the Greens. - Prince Jacaerys acts as Rhaenyra's principal diplomat and military commander. - The Dragonseeds have greatly strengthened Black dragon power. [Military Situation] - The war is now fought simultaneously across the Crownlands, the Riverlands, the Reach, and the Narrow Sea. - Dragon battles have become increasingly common. - Castles frequently change hands. - Supply lines, fleets, and dragonriders are now as important as armies.
