How Valyria Came to Power? Valyrians were exceptional, primarily for taming dragons, the world's most powerful weapons. They claimed to be descendants of dragons, believing they had dragon blood in their veins, let's talk about them.
Technically the Valyrians (what was left of them after the Doom) didn’t conquer Westeros. Only the wastrel heirs of the fringe smaller dragon lord House Targaryen whom had self exiled to Dragonstone Island did. With Targaryens leaving the main home continent/peninsula due to wanting to avoid the coming Doom as prophesied in the dreams of one of their female family members known for her immense if imprecise and often doubted seer abilities. Also didn’t hurt the move allowed them to evade paying debts or suffering under abuse of greater dragon lords. By this time the Targaryens had no real allegiances to the old Valyrian Freeholds and were in truth largely unimportant ostracized family whom languished as lesser dragon lords. Living on the periphery of the greater Valyrian Empire. Course they could have conquered all of Westeros alone if they wanted to just as their people had dome to nearly all of Esso and parts of more obscure distant lands. But they didn’t due to not wishing to be seen as attempting to secede from the main empire and set up their own breakaway possessions that would surely invite their little rebellion being put down aggressively. So they waited biding their time, building up strength, quietly raising more dragons, and making new trade partners with the local lords of Westeros. Even getting rich of the control they had over sea trade routes they administered, guarded, and maintained between the continents of Westeros and Essos. Then when the Doom of Valyria did finally occur exactly when as it had been prophesied they took that opportunity to rally the few other smaller Valyrian peoples living beneath them and set about conquering Westeros.
