(Varys)In its time, the Dragonpit was a marvel of the world. Full-grown Targaryen dragons nested beneath its massive dome, and even on the darkest nights, the walls seemed to glow with the fire of the great beasts inside.
(Qyburn)As had the site’s previous occupant, the Sept of Remembrance, when Maegor the Cruel blasted it with dragonfire during morning prayers. The screams of the dying men echoed through King’s Landing all day, and a pall of ash and smoke hung over the city for a week.

クァ「残酷王メイゴルが朝の礼拝中にドラゴンの炎で吹き飛ばした追憶の聖堂もかつてここにありました。死にゆく男らの叫び声が一日中王都キングズランディング中に響き、灰と煙の雲が一週間街を覆いました。」

(Varys)But as it dissipated, so too did the rebellion of the Faith Militant. The Sept of Remembrance faded from memory, and Maegor decided to replace a monument to the gods with a monument to his family, the Dragonpit.
(Qyburn)Labor proved elusive, however, for after the Red Keep was finished, Maegor had hosted a three-day feast for all builders, stonemasons, and carpenters who had worked to build it. At its conclusion, he slaughtered them, so that only he would know the castle’s secrets. So many men fled the construction of the Dragonpit that Maegor was forced to employ the prisoners of the city dungeons, supplemented by skilled and ignorant builders from across the Narrow Sea.

クァ「建設事業は困難でした。赤の王城レッドキープ完成後、メイゴルは建設に携わった全建築者、石工、大工に3日間の宴会を催しました。彼は城の秘密を守るため宴会終了時に彼らを虐殺したので。多数がドラゴンピット建設から逃げ出し、メイゴルは地下牢の囚人を使わざるを得ず、狭い海の先から無知な熟練工を補充しました。

(Varys)For more than a century, the Targaryens housed their dragons in the Dragonpit. But dragons are not horses to be stabled or hounds to be kenneled. With each generation, the dragons became less. Less massive, less swift, less long-lived.
(Qyburn)And less invulnerable. During the Dance of Dragons, two Targaryen factions killed a handful of their family’s dragons while fighting each other. A frenzied mob even broke into the Dragonpit and slaughtered the five dragons chained there, though the last managed to bring down the roof of the great dome on its assailants. The dragons never recovered their former strength or numbers. Perhaps their line had been too broken, or perhaps others intervened to break it further. But the last dragon grew no larger than a cat, and its death earned Aegon, Third of His Name, the epithet “Dragonbane”.

クァ「無敵さも弱まりました。双竜の舞踏の間、ターガリエン二派が互いに戦い、一族のドラゴンを数頭殺しました。激怒した暴徒がドラゴンピットに侵入し鎖でつながれた5頭のドラゴンを殺しましたが、最後の1頭が攻撃者に抵抗し巨大なドームの屋根を破壊しました。ドラゴンが以前の強さや数を取り戻すことはなかった。恐らく血統が崩れすぎてたか、あるいは他が介入し更に崩れたのかも。ラストドラゴンは猫ほどの大きさにしか成長せず、その死はエイゴンに異名“ドラゴン裂き”を与えた。

(Varys)What is a Dragonpit without dragons? The roof remained where it had fallen, the great bronze doors rusted and fell off their hinges. Prostitutes cavorted where fantastic creatures had once fed and slept. Then came Daenerys. Now dragons once again darken the sky, but they will never darken the Dragonpit again. Daenerys has learned the folly of chaining her dragons. The Dragonpit is and will remain a ruin of a bygone age when kings and queens flew high above their countrymen.
