   Summary

   Baelor Targaryen was born with features that decided he was unfit for a crown.

   Passed over by the Great Council, he bent to honor and peace. The realm chose Viserys. Baelor chose duty.

   When the realm threatens to fracture in its attempt to deny Princess Rhaenyra her crown, Baelor sees the same injustice rising. He will not stand idle while history repeats itself.

   For the good of the realm.

   And for the princess he never expected to love.
