The journey of Daemon Targaryen
Between 97 AC and 130 AC: 21 stops across 10 different places. The itinerary follows the show, “House of the Dragon”.
15 of the 21 stops are anchored to a dated event in the catalogue; the others rest on the source alone, and each one says how certain it is. Daemon Targaryen has his own entry in the atlas.

What the source does not fix
- Runestone (until): The source says the Vale «was not to her liking» but does not date her departure; the interval closes with her joining the small council in 103.
- Pentos (place): The book sends the couple back to Driftmark and places Laena's death there; the show films it in Pentos, and the show prevails (events:muerte-de-laena-velaryon, field lugar_libro).
- King's Landing (place): In the book he is killed on Driftmark —Vaemond's entry places his death there— and the show films it in the throne room; the show prevails (docs/canon.md §4.2).
