The world of Westeros is filled with tales of mythical creatures, each more captivating than the last. Among these legends, the Sea Dragon holds a particularly enigmatic place. Unlike the well-documented Ice Dragon, the Sea Dragon's existence is shrouded in mystery and ancient lore, whispered among sailors and seafarers.
Long before the rise of the Targaryens and their fire-breathing dragons, the Sea Dragon was a force to be reckoned with. According to the ironborn, Nagga, the mightiest sea dragon, roamed the waters, feeding on krakens and leviathans. Her very presence was said to stir the seas, causing storms and shipwrecks. The tales of Nagga have been passed down through generations, each storyteller adding their own embellishments to her fearsome image.
The Ironborn, fierce inhabitants of the Iron Islands, hold Nagga in high regard.
Their legends speak of the Grey King, a hero who defeated Nagga with the help of the Drowned God. The king's hall, built from the bones of the slain dragon, stands as a testament to this epic battle. The ironborn believe that the Sea Dragon's remains still lie on Old Wyk, a sacred site where they hold their kingsmoots to choose new leaders.
