The Chronicle of Princess Rosalia Baratheon, the Twin of the Storm Dragon

Birth and Bloodline

Princess Rosalia “Rose” Baratheon was born in 280 AC at Storm’s End, the younger twin of Emperor Richard I Baratheon. Though she was born only minutes after him, their bond was said to be unbreakable—two flames born of storm and dragonfire.

Like her brother Richard, Rosalia inherited strong Valyrian features—silver-gold hair, violet eyes, and an imperious beauty that marked her as dragonlord blood. Fluent in High Valyrian since childhood, she was trained not only in statecraft but also in the arts of war.

The General of the Order of the Golden Sun

Rosalia rose to prominence as a warrior-princess. When Richard restructured the realm’s military into the Order of the Golden Sun, Rosalia was named General, serving alongside their younger brother Lucas. Her reputation as a fearless rider of her dragon, Rhaenyr, echoed the warrior-queens of Valyria’s past.

She personally led campaigns in both Westeros and Essos, earning the admiration of soldiers and smallfolk alike. To the army, she was the Sword of the Dawn Reborn, a shining example of courage.

Marriage to Prince Rhaemond Assarion

In a great marriage alliance, Rosalia was wed to Prince Rhaemond Assarion (b. 285 AC at Bloodstone), head of House Assarion and ruler of the Stepstones. Rhaemond, himself a dragonlord, was famed for riding the mighty dragon Bloodstorm, and possessed the same pure Valyrian features as his forebears.

Their marriage united House Baratheon and House Assarion, bringing the once-independent Kingdom of the Isles fully into the fold of the empire. Rhaemond was confirmed by Richard as Prince of the Isles and Dragonlord of Bloodstone, serving as Governor of the Stepstones.

Children of Rosalia and Rhaemond

Together they had three children:

• Lucaerys Assarion – Eldest son and heir to Bloodstone.

• Valerys Assarion – Second son, ambitious and proud.

• Baesella Assarion – Only daughter, renowned for her beauty and dragonrider’s spirit.

Their children were raised as both Baratheon and Assarion, heirs of two dragonlord houses, securing the Stepstones and Isles as loyal Imperial provinces.

Legacy

Princess Rosalia Baratheon is remembered as one of the great warrior-princesses of the Empire. Her marriage bound the Isles to the Golden Throne of Rygoros, while her leadership in the Order of the Golden Sun ensured the empire’s armies remained disciplined and feared.

She and Prince Rhaemond were often seen riding together—Caesarion, Rhaenyr, and Bloodstorm darkening the skies in a vision of Valyria reborn.

To this day, Rosalia is celebrated not only as Richard’s twin but as his equal in courage, the Dragon General of the Golden Sun.
