Game of Thrones: the prequel everyone was waiting for confirmed

Aegon’s Conquest prequel confirmed

Nearly a year ago, Variety announced that HBO was considering developing another prequel game of Thronesfocusing on a crucial period in the universe imagined by George R.R. Martin: the conquest of Aegon the Conqueror, the founder of the Seven Kingdoms. After House of the Dragonso it was another flagship chapter of the Targaryen dynasty that the channel seemed to be interested in.

And it’s clear that the idea has gained traction among HBO experts since the series was confirmed, as revealed The Hollywood journalistwith the arrival of a screenwriter in charge of writing these episodes, based on the first volume of Fire and blood by George R.R. Martin. This is Mattson Tomlin, who specifically worked on The Batmanas well as its sequel, and who is also responsible for adapting the action comic BRZKRK with Keanu Reeves.

A crucial period for the Targaryen dynasty

The story of Aegon the Conqueror’s conquest is a seminal moment in the Game of Thrones universe. This conquest occurred approximately 300 years before the events told in the books and television series (and about 120 years earlier House of the Dragon), and profoundly shaped the history and geopolitics of Westeros, the fictional continent where much of the plot takes place.

Aegon’s conquest, aided by his two sister-wives Visenya and Rhanys, led to the unification of the seven independent kingdoms under one crown, with Aegon himself as the first ruler of the Iron Throne. A symbol of his absolute authority forged from the swords of his enemies defeated by the fire of his dragon, Balerion the Black Terror (whose skull is visible in game of Thrones AND House of the Dragon). The only exception to this unification is the Kingdom of Dorne, which will only later be integrated into the kingdom, through political rather than military means.

This event is important in the universe of game of Thrones For several reasons. First, it marks the beginning of the Targaryen dynasty that will rule Westeros almost three centuries. Next, it introduces the concept of the Iron Throne, the seat of supreme power that many characters will seek to achieve throughout the series. Ultimately, the conquest makes the dragons one of the greatest forces in Westeros. In addition to Balerion, we can also see Meraxes, Rhanys’ dragon, and Vhagar, the one ridden by Visenya. Both are also visible in House of the Dragon.
