Nearly 300 years after the Conquest, Aerys Targaryen was ruler of Westeros, the latest in an unbroken line of Targaryen monarchs. As a creeping madness began to infect his mind, more and more of the true power of the throne was diverted to his lifelong friend and Hand of the King, Tywin Lannister. Episode 2 of Shadow Of The Dragon, covers the early years of Aerys' reign, and his complex, shifting friendship with Tywin.
