Valyria, commonly known as Old Valyria, is a devastated city on the island of Essos. It is a long-dead city of amazing things that was once the capital of the Valyrian Freehold, a magnificent empire. 100 years before Aegon's Landing, it was devastated by a terrible event known as the Doom of Valyria. It is the historic home of the Houses Targaryen, Celtigar, and Velaryon.

The largest remaining island, Valyria, was located extended to the summer sea and is surrounded by cliffs where the island has broken away from the mainland. Dragon roads connected Valyria to nearby towns like Tyria.

Valyria's power was founded on the taming and employment of dragons in conflict, which they discovered in the Fourteen Fires volcano chain that surrounded their realm.Valyria used dragons to kill enemy armies and capture a significant amount of territory in Essos. Its empire, the Valyrian Freehold, spanned much of the present Free Cities and even reached the Narrow Sea island of Dragonstone. Valyria, on the other hand, never undertook a conquest of Westeros, which had been seen as a poor backwater. Valyria was the metropolis of the greatest society mankind has ever seen, the heart of an empire that dominated half of the known globe for nearly 5,000 years. Valyria was linked to neighboring cities via dragon routes, such as

Purple eyes and silver-gold or platinum white hair appear to have been a frequent racial feature among Valyrians. the region has been said to still have many riches from before the Doom, like Valyrian knives and magical power artifacts that The glass candles of Oldtown are claimed to have originated there from Valyria over 1,000 years before the Doom.

Dragonloads

In old Valyria had it's own local identity, the dragons always being loyal creatures to Valyrians and not only the targaryen are the dragon loads in old Valyria. there are many dragon loads and as an example the family of Aurion are also survived from doom. House aurion belongs 40 dragons. Aurions visits qohar with their 30,000 army and they called them selves as first emperor of Valyria.

They entered the City of ashes and vanished in the mist, never to be seen again.

The GRRM books elaborate on the legends, which state that the residents of free cities never consented to be with dragon loads and that they questioned their right to the land. ... it is safe to conclude that the people in the free cities killed the aurion with their dragons.

In the book of "The world of ice and fire" it describes as follows,

"It is said that some Valyrian dragonlords in Tyrosh and Lys were spared, but that in the immediate political upheaval following the Doom, they and their dragons were killed by the citizens of those Free Cities"

Targaryens Revisits to Valyria

 

Source : Reddit

Princess Aerea Targaryen claimed Balerion as her mount and was missing for over a year before reappearing in King's Landing in 56AC. Grand Maester Benifer and Barth discovered her to be afflicted with "horrors" that burned her from the inside out and murdered her, emerging from her body as "worms with faces", "snakes with hands", and other monstrosities. Balerion was also discovered to have wounds and scars that appeared to have occurred during their absence. These observations led Barth to the conclusion that Balerion, uncontrollable by an inexperienced rider like Aerea, flew her to his original home of Valyria, where he was born before the Doom and the flight of the Targaryens; the "horrors" that infested Aerea were thought to be remnants of Valyrian blood experiments.

 

Conclusion

The Valyria is still not good face for living even for a dragonloads. It is like goad curse on the people who live their since they have used so many magic to harm poor peoples and rule it. 

According to your suggestions is Valyria will be back for living...???  

 Quotes

“We came here to be free of Old Valyria, and your Targaryens are Valyrian to the bone.”
― George R.R. Martin, Fire & Blood

 

 “The Valyrians were more than dragonlords. They practiced blood magic and other dark arts as well, delving deep into the earth for secrets best left buried and twisting the flesh of beasts and men to fashion monstrous and unnatural chimeras. For there sins the gods in their wroth struck them down.
Valyria is accursed, all men agree, and even the boldest sailor steers well clear of its smoking bones... but we would be mistaken to believe that nothing lives there now.”
― George R.R. Martin, Fire & Blood 

 

 “The older dragons had died during the intervening years, but Balerion lived on, growing ever larger, fiercer, and more willful. If we discount the tales of certain sorcerers and mountebanks (as we should), he is mayhaps the only living creature in the world that knew Valyria before the Doom.”
― George R.R. Martin, Fire & Blood 

 

“Valyria. It was written that on the day of Doom every hill for five hundred miles had split asunder to fill the air with ash and smoke and fire, blazes so hot and hungry that even the dragons in the sky were engulfed and consumed. Great rents had opened in the earth, swallowing palaces, temples, entire towns. Lakes boiled or turned to acid, mountains burst, fiery fountains spewed molten rock a thousand feet into the air, red clouds rained down dragonglass and the black blood of demons, and to the north the ground splintered and collapsed and fell in on itself and an angry sea came rushing in. The proudest city in all the world was gone in an instant, its fabled empire vanished in a day, the Lands of the Long Summer scorched and drowned and blighted.”
― George R.R. Martin, A Dance with Dragons
