Ok, not a real chapter but an appendix for Targaryen Storm Rising. Here you will find the characters and nations, both some that have appeared already and some that haven't yet. I will be putting this as the first chapter of the story a few hours after publishing, and will update it from time to time.
If this is the first chapter already, beware of possible spoilers in the appendix! And continue on to the next chapter. You can always try consulting this when you're confused about characters or are interested in this kind of thing.
The idea to do this was 'taken' from The Dance of Spring, by Queen of Ice and Winter. Reading that fanfic inspired me to do this appendix business. It's as much to help the reader, as it is to help me. Read that fanfic BTW, it's a good one imo.
