House of the Dragon Season 2: This Detail of Episode 3 That Game of Thrones Fans Didn’t Miss



House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 3: Rhaenyra Tries to Save the Peace

A Dance with Dragons is set in the second season of the series House of the Dragoncurrently airing on the Max platform. In episode 3, broadcast this Monday, Rhaenyra does everything to save her family from a war from which she will never recover.

The episode begins with a territorial conflict between the Brackens and the Blackwoods, two families from the region of Conflans. Each house has chosen to support a different claimant to the throne, Rhaenyra or Aegon, mostly out of revenge rather than political conviction. What begins as a simple verbal argument quickly turns violent. The next scene shows the battlefield littered with the corpses of both houses, signifying the bloody beginning of the war, even though this battle takes place off-screen.

Rhaenyra, aware of the impending conflict, seeks to avoid an all-out war. She disguises herself as a nun to meet Allicent at the Great Sept of Baelor, where the Queen goes to pray. Rhaenyra tries to convince Allicent to do everything in her power to prevent war. The discussion reveals a crucial piece of information: King Viserys’s last words were about the prophecy of “The Prince That Was Promised” and “A Song of Ice and Fire,” not his son Aegon. However, despite this revelation, Allicent remains steadfast: war is inevitable.

At the same time, Rhaenyra takes steps to protect her family. She sends her young sons, accompanied by her granddaughter Rhaena, to the Vale, entrusting them with four dragon eggs (presumably the eggs of her dragoness Syrax).

Daenerys’s Eggs

These famous dragon eggs entrusted to Rhaena have caught the attention of fans game of Thrones. And for good reason. As the director of the episode confirmed MashableThese eggs are in fact the dragon eggs that Daenerys gets in the first season of game of Thronesand who would later become his three beloved dragons: Drogon, Rhaegal and Viserion.

The presence of these eggs in House of the Dragon contradicts the writings of George R.R. Martin, who claimed that they existed long before the Dance of the Dragons.

In Fire and BloodMartin strongly suggests that Daenerys’ eggs left Westeros long before the Dance of the Dragons, during the reign of Jaehaerys I. According to the book, Elissa Farman, a seafaring noblewoman, steals three dragon eggs from Dragonstone. She sells these eggs to the Lord of Braavos and uses the gold to finance her maritime adventures.

The eggs disappear from the narrative after their sale to Braavos, but it is plausible that they were traded and passed down from generation to generation until they reached Daenerys in Essos. This historical uncertainty in the book allows the series House of the Dragon reinterpret this part of history.

In the book, Rhaena brings three eggs to the Vale, one of which hatches into her dragon, Daybreak. The series adds the idea of ​​a fourth egg, which isn’t a huge change, but it does introduce new questions.

The main question is how these eggs will travel from the Valley to Essos…
