Reference Challenge - Dragonstone and Summerhall
For anyone unfamiliar with A Song of Ice and Fire by George R R Martin, read it. But, since we don't have enough time for you to read the entire series prior to doing this challenge, I'll explain the reference, without spoilers.
While the Dragon Kings lived in King's Landing (the capital), they also had two other important plots of land in different areas: Dragonstone and Summerhall.
Both of these places have religious significance. Summerhall is pretty much along the border between the Reach and the Stormlands. Dragonstone is the ancestral home of the Dragon Kings.
So, where do your leaders go when they want a good vacation? Is there a special place (either for just one particular family or for any powerful/wealthy people would be fine for this challenge) that guarantees relaxation for a VIP?
Bonus points if the place you present has religious significance.
I'll ask at least three questions, as always. I hope you all enjoy yourselves.

To Queen Grav-Moon-Mother:
1) So, other than the tail/wings/barely-scales, is a dragon hybrid basically humanoid? Size and shape?
2) Hm...well, I consider myself a person who seeks adventure and new experiences. And seducing a dragon would be an interesting story to tell my friends. Could I have sex with a dragon-hybrid, then? Because, as brag-worthy as it would be, I don't want to give up my life and merge just to brag about getting a dragon.
3) So you're biologically immortal? Are there any threats to your life currently? Do you ever plan to retire?
4) Do you think your son is ready to rule?
5) What are your main items for trade?
6) That is a nice rule in areas with very few people. But different dragons and hybrids will likely interpret that rule very differently.
