The journey of Rhaenys Targaryen
Between 74 AC and 129 AC: 7 stops across 5 different places. The itinerary follows the show, “House of the Dragon”.
3 of the 7 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. Rhaenys Targaryen has her own entry in the atlas.

What the source does not fix
- Rook's Rest (note): The book burns her in the air and the show kills her in the fall (docs/canon.md §4.2). The place does not change.
A note on canon
She is the «Queen Who Never Was», daughter of Aemon (74-129). She shares her exact name with Aegon the Conqueror's sister and with Rhaegar's daughter: without the builder's lifespan gate, the four Conquest events would have been hooked onto her.
