Damn I can’t wait for Season 2. That was really demented how they killed Halaena’s son, forcing her to choose and then killing the one she didn’t choose so that the son she did choose will forever remember his own mother chose him to die.

Michelle Fairley’s reading as Stoneheart with the growl in her voice is just incredible.

When Robert defends Rhaenyra over supposedly bleeding as a sign of rejection, I like to think it's because he knew how uncomfortable it was and the fact he never wanted the throne meant he never gripped it tight, because to him the throne was never what he fought for, so he was never cut by it. But Aerys, who was mad, paranoid, and desperate to keep power, did grip it tight and wasn't careful, and thus cut himself often, and we know Robert did see Aerys as a child when he was already king scab.

Daemon vs Aemond is going to be outstanding. They NEED to have the dragons rise as one; that scene alone would make up for season 8

The way they slaughtered the chained dragons in the dragon pit is heartbreaking

The part about the death of the son given to Kat and the part about baratheon given to Robert was amazing, but shreen, shreen always makes me cry.

I really hope we get more of these with House of the Dragon 🐉

The war didn't end when Rhaenyra died . It ended when her son Aegon ascended the throne .

Daemon was more snake than dragon - Robert Baratheon

When you realise season 2 begins with blood and cheese

We need Pedro Pascal narrating more if these, harry lloyd too

What a sad and tragic story.... Can't wait to watch it all unfold.

Helena and Aemond look exactly like this in show. Casting is good.

Vhagar 5 times the size of Arrax ? More like 500 times the size

This was amazing, thanks for creating such a masterpiece! The voice overs from GOT are the cherry on top, made me engage with the video even more!

🛡⚔🛡This story, told this way, never gets old😎

Dreamfyre is the mother of Daenerys' dragons. Hopefully I show her laying her eggs and Helaena makes some prediction about them.

Honestly it's becoming increasingly clear that the dance was largely inevitable one Viserys remarried and refused to change his mind about his heir. Aegon himself said that he had roughly two decades to change his mind and did not. It is starting to seem that there is a limit to how many Targaryens can be active at the same time. Too few and the house is vulnerable to extinction, but too many and you get armed conflict. I will say it is easy to forget that no matter how much you might like a character, in this setting, bastardy is serious business and not so easily overlooked. It does suck that the children have to bear the burden of their parents indiscretions, but that is ASOIAF.

I liked how this is presented and voice over

Really hope the show doesn’t skip over the battle of the gullet like this did

Is king Robert helping to narrate?!? I’m obsessed!

Best narrative ever 😀just so you know

Great video

Given season 2 will only have 8 episodes I hope theres enough emotional narrative between the major battles and events like Blood and Cheese, Rook's Rest, The Dragon seeds claiming dragon's and The Battle of the Gullet. Not sure if they'll squeeze in the fall of Kings landing or switch it timeline wise with the Gullet, but im staying optimistic since they've done a good job so far.

This video makes it seem like the war was over after Rhaenyra died. It wasn't. It's worth noting that Aegon was never anymore a king of Westeros than Rhaenyra was its Queen. From the moment Viserys died to the moment Rhaenyra's son was crowned King of Westeros, the country remained embroiled in civil war. The war went on after Rhaenyra died. The lords of the realm refused to accept Aegon as King. Even his own court came to realize this with his own hand of the King even advising him to take the black and join the Nights watch. Naturally, he refused and his entire court plotted against him as the armies of Westeros descended upon the capital to dethrone him.

19:00 "And when your tears have drowned you, the valonqar shall wrap his hands about your pale white throat and choke the life from you."

This is going to be FREAKING EPIC to see in live action. I love that my husband doesn’t know what’s coming but I do; can’t wait to see his reaction muahahha 😈

Oh yeah I can’t not wait!!

I need hod season 2 now!!!

"... Borros Baratheon, black of hair." - told no one to the artist.

One change they could make in HOTD that I think would be cool would be to have Alicent be the one to poison Aegon, or at least play a part in it. Maybe grief over Rhaenyra's death and regret that they ended up as enemies, causes her to feel remorse about what she's brought on the 7 Kingdoms, and as some small act of repentance, she helps to rid the Kingdoms of it.

Blood and Cheese episode is going to be epic!!

After seeing folks kill chained dragons, I'm kinda glad Kings Landing was burnt in Season 8...

“My uncle is a challenge I welcome, if he dares face me.”

Caraxes died protecting his rider.

Daemon was such a badass 😂❤

Given how parts of canon are changed in the show like Aerys being Aegon the fifths son. I was thinking they may not introduce Daenaera Velaryon to the story and keep Jaehaera alive by combining both lines. It'd be a welcome change to the story and an end to the delusionary discourse between some fans watching the show.

Viserys does realize that he descends from rhaenyra, right? Because if "old king" did change succession in favor of aegon instead of rhaenyra, then rhaenyras line wouldn't inherit the crown and viserys wouldn't have inherited anything ever nor would the mad king or rhaegar

Man i can't wait for God's eye 😬🔥

Blood and Cheddar

Did they purposely give rhaenyras sons silver hair? I guess they had silver hair in the books? I thought they always looked like "strong boys" with darker hair.

Her uncle and husband 😂😂😂😂😂😂 will always sound crazy

Did they have robert and joffrey narrating? Sounds just like them

The arrogance of Viserys when he shits on his own family… Alicent and the hightowers were responsible for the dance.

Vhagar was 5x Arrax lol? Vhagar's wing was 5x Arrax xD

5:41 got turned into 10 hrs of tv show and all of it is engaging, brian condell is putting d and d to shame

This family was doomed from the start,they escaped the doom of valyria to concur Westeros but they became extinct, oh well excep for the "i dont want it " dude who hot exiled to the north on season 8

The Lads were too OP.

the show is just replicating this lorem both skipping over daeron like he never even existed T_T

I cannot wait to see Daemon kill Aemond lol that battle will be insane

There are so many angles we can see Martins universe from. Northern Essos for example got the island Ibben. A species looking like short hairy but stocky humans. They are whale hunters and share traits with both vikings and dwarves. They can mate with humans but it results in stillborns or abominations most of the times. If you travel further east along the coast you will stumble upon "The thousand islands" which in reality is prob less than 300 according to IB travellers. On those islands lives a weird species of humanoid with hairless small bodies and greenish skin. They resent outsiders and are deathly afraid of water. If we go even a bit further east we come to the end of the known world and a forest called "far Mossovy" or just "Mossovy". Once we get through the dense and humid forest and start heading southwest a red sea reaches our gazes. The bleeding sea is called so because of its red water caused by a plant which bloom colours the water. Directly to the west of the bleeding sea lies the plains of Jogos Nhai. Inhabitated by a humanoid folks which rides horses and lives as nomads like the Dothraki. However the Jogos Nhai got pointed heads since binding their heads as children and they rides zorses. If we manage to escape them to the far south we will enter the kingdom of Yi Ti. A very rich and lush kingdom with vast jungles and riches beyond imagination. There lives a folk which bears resemblence to old China. As we evade the tigers and ambundance of lethal fauna we reach the city of Yi and the coast. We manage to get hold of a ship and starts to sail even further south over the jade sea. To our east the island of Leng lies. I will not advice that we set ashore there. The city buildings at the heart leads down far into the earth. Those who enter either returns mad and unable to tell us of their story or does not return. Once Leng is behind us we turn east. As a coast emerges on the horizon the suns light starts to dim....quite odd since it is around noon... We reach Asshai. An enormous city at the very southeastern edge of Essos. Asshai, with buildings so black they absorb the sunlight. Nothing grows there. Nothing lives there....except those who dabbles in the dark arts of darkbinding or demonology. Those who searches for riches can do so here since there is no water or food grown naturally here but they have gold and gems in abundance. Thus if you got fresh water and food you shall be rewarded well. We shall not go there but beyond Asshai is the Shadowlands which is believed to be the origin of the dragons. There also lies Stygai. A cursed city so evil that there is probably only one spot which is worst in the world. We enter our ship and set sails to the south once more. To the east we can see a landmass with dense jungle, the continent of Ulthos. However i know nothing further of the place. We shall not venture there today. We turn to the west and sail for many days. As a new land reveals itself itself as the continent Sothoryos! A vast continent said to dwarf Westeros. Here lies arguably the greatest dangers known to man. More diseases than there are men. Amongst them are: blood boils, green fever, dancing plague, sweetrot, bronze pate, the Red Death, greyscale, brownleg, wormbone, sailor's bane, pus-eye, and yellowgum. All with a high lethality. The fauna will not be discrimenated tho! There are basilisks, wyverns, lizardmen and giant apes amongst other dangers! We follow the northern coast of Sothoryos to the west to discover that the whole continent seems to be a grand jungle, but there is in fact one place i wish to show you while here! Once we reach the west sid of Sothoryos we will release the anchor and take a skip to land. Before we enter the dense jungle i must fir warn you. The place we shall visit is so evil nothing grows there, no one lives there and like with Asshai it is completely built by an black oily rock. We enter the jungle to the south. Big white bats chases us even further south. I raise my hand to stop us and points to the now visible desolate city of Yeen. A place so evil we shall not venture fort but instead start walking northwest. Once back on the coast we will see Gogossos. The city ruins after the old kingdom of Ghis. Further beyond that we will see Toad island and tear island. Our ship picks us up at the decaying harbour and we head west. There we see a set of islands called "the basilisk islands". We will quickly pass it since pirates often travels and lives there. The island of Naath is the next place on our journey. Here lives a peaceful people who refuses to fight or battle. All is not well tho. We can only stay here for a few hours otherwise we might contract the butterfly fever, Which symptoms are feeling ill, spasms and sweating blood amongst others. We replentish our food storages and then we set sail once more. Before we keep heading west ill show a spot directly to the north on the southern border of Essos. There lies the once great kingdom of Valyria. Now only ruins filled with brindle men and sadness lives there. To the southeast across the summer sea we find a set of island refereed to as the Summer islands. There lives a darkskinned tall folk which craft great wooden bows powerful enough to penetrate steel. This was a common ground to find slaves which the gorvernment of Summer islands provided. A practice which ended when a rebellion of slaves shut it down. Heading North we come across the step stones. Our boat is not ment for such narrow sailing so we shall not go through there. But if we would we would find the narrow sea which is the sea between Westeros and Essos. Even further we will come to the island Skagos which is directly to the west off the coast of the wall. There lives a cannibalious people who used to practice raiding on the mainland the north. But the Starks put an end to it by destroying their boats and forbidding them to build new ones. There is said to be unicorns on Skagos. I cannot confirm this tho. Back to the stepstones. We travel west and passes the southern coast of Dorne. After that we reach Oldstown on the southwestern edge of Westeros. The magnificent citadel is a wonder to behold. Further up north we would reach Lannisport, then ironmans bay, The ice bay and lastly the lands of always winter. Now now! Time for us to go on our true journey to the unknown in the west. Elissa Farman apparently sailed there to never return. But according to one of her travelcompanions did return and told the story of 3 island at least a month's journey ahead of us. We shall now set full sails and cross the Sunset sea!!!

Think you forgot how Aegon's second son died. Torn apart by peasants I believe...

I was hoping there was going to be some magic involved in HOTD or Night King origins maybe :(

The narrator sounds like something between viserys targaryen and jaime lannister

King Aegon II the GOAT🐉👑🐐

Deamean the pov in this entire arc

The voice of Joffrey Baratheon no way 😂😂

Aegon had no choice but to use sunfyre he was at war with the houses that supported rhaenyra he knew she would come but instead it was maelys And he definitely owed her one by what she did to his coronation , anyway team black all day lol

I wonder if House of the Dragon will air for 1 or 2 more seasons

Things i want HOD season 2/3 do: -Show Sunfyre and Aegon riding into battle with it, specifically Sunfyre’s legendary bond and him taking down 3 black dragons. 2)Make Rhaenyra like in canon, because even her own allies stated she didn’t ride into battle but stayed put, if S1 is where you think Rhaenyra is all that, S2 is how she becomes Maegor with Tits and unworthy of the throne by it symbolically cutting herself on it.I want the right complexity and greyness that the canon is and GRRM’s style is. 3) Have Blood and Cheese, and make Daemon order it shown, it really isn’t unlike Daemon to do this and considering what he’s already done in the show and canonically mocked his brothers only son dying a day after the birth that killled his beloved wife, which is why Viserys made sure he could not inherit the throne, would be a good reminder that the black side isn’t any better then the greens.You don’t have to have Rhaenyra know about it, but personally I think the show kinda teased she might ask him to order it or be happy with it like Robert with Elia’s children dead, after all a eye for a eye, a son for a son. 4)Have the winter wolves appear and the badassery of them shown. 5) Show her other son going to Winterfell and getting Cregan’s aid, make Cregan the badass he is, I will not stand for him being flanderised or made into a Ned Stark clone, he was not a man of pure honour, he was a king in the north in all but title. 6)Also have Sara Snow, it would be really tragic as this could even explain why Lyanna fell for Rhaegar, if the tale of the dragon prince and the bastard stark girl and their tragic love story is known in the stark family, she may have grown up hearing it and so like Sansa may have been taken up with how life seemed to be going like a song for her.Lyanna was not Arya, Arya is something too wild and brutish even for a Mormont, even in the first book/season you see even Ned be pissed off at her and concern, like leaping to beat up her sister in front of the king and queen. 7)we see the Cannibal attack Silver Denys and his sons, he needs to appear. 8)See the Dragonseeds and their betrayal. 9)Have Rhaenyra go paranoid and mad, ordering the dragonseeds deaths even her own allies and have them all distance themselves from her, including Daemon. 10) show the fire wyrm hatch from the egg and bite Rhaena’’s arm as a baby, it’s really a sinister thing and if they want to show the idea the Maesters aren’t so nice this would be a perfect thing as you note the poisoned eggs and odd deformities. 11) Battle Between Gods eye.Daemon vs Aemon. 12) Storming of Dragonpit and her being called Maegor with Tits as well as being very unpopular. 13)Sunfyre eating Rhaenyra while her son watches. 14) Nettles appearing and flying to the Vale. 15) the Pact of Ice and Fire being made but Targaryens not living up to promise, foreshadowing that the north would gain much dislike for the targs as they bled and fought loyally all for a oath and the bethrothal and got the blacks their win yet got nothing in return from deal breakers. 16) the hour of the wolf. 12)

Why do we not hear more about the cannibal? He was the biggest dragon in the world after the dance and was still alive.

Am I hearing Pedro Pascal 😮

Daemon and rhaenrya is responsible bro had dragonphobia and let them go extinc

Is that Joffrey Baratheon at 18:00 😅😅

Bro narrating sounds like Joffrey B. 😂

rhaenys, the old kings sister?lol no. she was his cousin

*SPOILERS* The Targaryen Dynasty simply lost its power due to incompetence and weakness. The decisions made before the Dance of the Dragons ultimately led not only to the loss of most dragons, but to Targaryens as a whole.

This clip is far much better than whole HOTD season 1.

im confident rhaenys and meleys couldve beat both aemond/vhagar or aegon/sunfyre in a 1v1

So what happened to Alicent after she surrendered? Was she killed?

“….the dragon hatchlings grew no bigger than house cats”- anyone know why?

" A queen is still a woman, with all the weakness of that sex" ... Are you kidding me?

Did they get the actual actors to read for them ?

okay but what happened to ALICENT???

so, everyone died from season 1... it gives me similar feeling to the ending of GOT ending. Jon didn't became king there, neither Denaerys...here also, none of Rhanaerya or Daemon or Aemond became king.

Btw i lovebth fact that her first sons hair are white

I was looking so forward to seeing Alicent take the reins and the green council following Viserys’ death, so annoyed that they whitewashed her character instead and made everything of hers and Criston’s (and Aemond’s) accidental

Was that Joffrey???

Idk why George RR didn’t make Rhaenyra ride her dragons herself and BURN everyone at the damn dragon pit, Daenerys would have!!!

So greeens win!!

Viserays refuse doing the right thing By giving his daughter the iron throne Instead of his son aegon Dat should have save the kingdom Viserays should have learn from the old king

Who is the narrator?

the show does too much of rooting characters bad choices off the actions of others. Here and in Fire and Blood, the characters clearly make choices from their own stupidity/greed. Alicent is far more ferocious in the books. Rhaenyra too, way more ruthless and cunning. We're fine with grey heroes, don't water down George's well written dark characters or their evil

Could you maybe make youw own series or somthing

Blood and cheese chapter, made me hate rehneyra and hoped she would have a horrible end alongside daemon, i Really hope they change it in the show because show rehneyra isn't that much cruel and mad

What a mess...

Why Damon have to die though, he was so cool

Vermithor role??

I wann reach thru the tv. Bc these idiots gad everything dragons and alot of riders. They coulda took over the whole world. Every targyran coulda had a crown.

she should Have burn the queen and her daughter when she and aemond conquered back the lingdom

That’s not true he as married and his wife died after having his son Damon’s . That isn’t right

Too bad they just wasted SYRAX she is one of the swiftest dragon out there. They pampered her too much she became obesse. I just hope that Meleys is not the first one who fall i would rather see Sea Smoke. And i would love to see Meleys and Caraxes attacking Vhagar. While Syrax is the one who will finish Sunfyre for killing other dragons.

You know how the woke producers of the TV show will film the Scene of Rhaenera ascending the throne ,it ill be a spectacular coronation greater than Aegon the Conqueror him-self 😂😂 the nightking also will celebrate.

Both of em were ruler for 6 months so doesn’t that mean overall blacks one

The greens are lame

How this video is better than the show and less confusing using black people as a gimmick with blond hair is a shame

HOD season 1 > GOT season 1

And in the end, the Blacks won.........
