A king or queen, strong enough to unite the realm against the dark. And if the world of man is to survive, a Targaryen must be seated on the Iron Throne. “When this great winter comes, Rhaenyra, all of Westeros must stand against it. “Aegon saw absolute darkness riding on those winds, and whatever dwells within will destroy the world of the living. “It is to begin with a terrible winter, gusting out of the distant north,” he says.
He also passes down a secret dating back to the reign of Aegon 1, regarding the “end of the world of man” as seen in a dream. Viserys warns Rhaenyra that she can’t believe all of the myths about their family, like how they can control dragons. The House of the Dragon has a secretĮpisode 1 also has a huge Game of Thrones reference.
The episode ends with her formally being named as his successor, with all the lords swearing their fealty. “I have wasted the years since you were born hoping for a son,” he tells her, and reveals he believes it’s Rhaenyra who should wear the crown when he passes. The House of the Dragon selects its next heir, paving the way for civil warĪs Viserys mourns the death of his son, Otto hatches a plan: he sends his daughter upstairs in his late wife’s best frock to, essentially, seduce the king, hoping she’ll eventually provide the next heir to the throne.ĭaemon angers Viserys by celebrating the baby’s death, or as he calls him while surrounded by naked women and alcohol, “the heir for a day.” The king sends him back to the Vale and summons Rhaenyra in front of the skull of Balerion, also known as the Black Dread, aka a really scary dragon. The king’s grief is soothed when he’s told it’s a boy – but his cries soon turn to a gargle, and he dies. Unfortunately, there’s complications, and Viserys has to make a horrific choice: doctors cut her stomach open to retrieve the baby, sacrificing his wife’s life in the process. HBO Daemon is at the heart of the impending civil war in House of the Dragon.Īs Daemon later partakes in the king’s jousting tournament in armor resembling Malenia in Elden Ring – with competing Baratheons and Starks – Aemma goes into labor. Daemon wants the town to “fear the color gold” and establish the footsoldiers’ authority, but others feel he’s endangering the dynasty with reckless bloodshed. A two-horse car is required for all the dismemberment.
Violence shouldn’t be a surprise in this world, but the blows are brutal faces are pulverized, hands are amputated, legs are snapped inwards, and bodies are battered with maces. Daemon stirs further unrest with a “public spectacle of wanton brutality” in King’s Landing, ordering the Kingsguard to slaughter its residents. Viserys has several injuries from the spiky Iron Throne, including one persistent, pus-filled wound. The death of a child, a public slaughter, and joustingĪlas, the Targaryen’s dynasty is slowly cracking. When talks of naming a successor in lieu of an heir are discussed, Corlys suggests Rhaenyra, as she’s technically got the best claim to the throne, but the men in attendance initially scoff at the notion of breaking precedent. There’s also resentment among those who meet in the council: when Lord Corlys Velaryon (Steve Toussaint) tries to press the king on shipping lane issues, he’s swiftly shut down by Otto.
