Plot

House of the Dragon is based on mythology created by writer George R. R. Martin. When Old King Jaehaerys left this world, he left no heir behind him. His sons died long before his own death, so the honor of choosing a new ruler was presented to the Grand Council.

The youngest member of the family was an unusually gifted young man, whom everyone treated with respect. He was Viserys – eventually the fifth king of the Targaryen dynasty, who began to rule the Seven Kingdoms, Westerosi, and was also the last rider of the dragon Balerion. He was kind to everyone, both common people and powerful lords. He easily settled any conflicts and tried not to tolerate them in his presence.

Fate was favorable to Viserys, but at first it did not give him the opportunity to obtain an heir. Therefore, when the time came to replace Viserys, the father gave the reins to his daughter Rhaenyra. Only after a while did he manage to get a son, but from his second wife. Aegon became the rightful heir and wanted to take the throne. And then an important event came, which went down in history.

Viserys soon passed away, and his children were unable to share the throne. A fierce struggle ensued between Rhaenyra and Aegon. At all times, Targaryen were famous for their bloodlust and insane disposition. Having started the war with the last dragons, the descendants of the Viserys did not think about the common people. After all, many have become unwitting victims of their rash acts.

The desire to seize power turned out to be so great that even the most base methods were used. But there were also those who did not take part in the bloody struggle for power. It was they who told the living about “The Dance of Dragons” – this was the name of the battle between Rhaenyra and Aegon, in which people and the last surviving dragons fought to death…

Thanks to the TV series “House of the Dragon”, viewers will once again return to the world where White Walkers exist and learn their secrets. We’ll think about Daenerys Targaryen again and see the similarities in her behavior to those of her descendants. But what will happen next when the war is over and the winner we know prevails?..
