Re: Who gets Dawn?

Valyria rose to power 5,000 years ago and grew to encompass the south-central regions of the eastern continent, namely the Valyrian Peninusla, the Lands of the Long Summer and, after several major wars, Slaver's Bay. Valyria then seems to have enjoyed an exceptionally long period of stability which ended 1,000 years ago when the Freehold unexpectedly advanced westwards to the coast of the Narrow Sea, displacing the Rhoynar to Westeros and then conquering or founding what are now the Free Cities before colonising Dragonstone at least 100 years before the Doom, probably longer.

It's difficult to know when Valyria was at it's 'height', but it was probably during that long period of peace, before the Valyrians became expansionist and power-hungry.
