Princess Elaena Targaryen was the third daughter and youngest child of King Aegon III Targaryen and his wife, Queen Daenaera Velaryon. Elaena's most cherished possession was a dragon's egg whose stony shell showed the same colors as her hair.

Elaena's brother, Baelor I Targaryen, came to the throne in 161 AC, when she was eleven. Shortly thereafter Baelor the Blessed imprisoned Elaena and her sisters in their own "Court of Beauty", in the part of the Red Keep that would become known as the Maidenvault, to preserve their innocence and so the sight of them would not tempt him or others in his court to mortal lusts. The three sisters were known afterwards as the "Three Maids in the Tower".

Elaena hated her imprisonment, and had always been told that her hair was her "crowning glory"; so, she cut off her braid and sent it to Baelor, hoping that if she rid herself of her beauty, he would allow her out of the Maidenvault. Her pleas fell on deaf ears, and she remained in the Maidenvault until Baelor's death in 171 AC.

About Luryuken Eggs

The spiny fins on Luryuken eggs carry a mild toxin that deters predators. After hatching, the coral “horns” on the shell will fall to the seafloor and can become the basis of new coral reefs.

About the Luryuken Creature

For centuries, Luryukens were thought to be a myth dreamt up by sun-addled sailors. It wasn’t until a Luryuken was spotted bringing a floundering ship into Ark Bay after a devastating storm that others began to believe the sailors’ tales. There is a tradition among those who sail the seas to bring an offering for the Luryuken to ensure a safe voyage.

Luryukens predominantly live far from Ark’s shores, out in the deep ocean, where they prefer to keep to themselves. However, a Luryuken will often surface to help ships or shipwrecked sailors find their way back to safety.
