The illegitimate daughter of Dornish nobility, Sylvenna Sand was a sex worker living in King's Landing. While there, she fell in love with a young mother called Essie, helping her raise the boy the best they could, though due to their profession, they struggled.
After Essie decided to announce Gaemon as the illegitimate son of Aegon Targaryen, she helped fashion him as a claimant to the Iron Throne, now that Queen Rhaenyra was gone, and the city was - almost - theirs for the taking.
Forming a small council among their loyalists, Sylvanna fashioned edicts for Gaemon, many of which were progressive customs and laws that were already in practice in Dornish culture.
Their reign was brief.
They were captured by Boros Baratheon, who marched them through the streets in chains. She defiantly held her lover's hand throughout.
Charged with treason, she was hung from the battlements of the Red Keep, as a warning to those who wished to defy Aegon's rule.
