Game Of Thrones
Summary
House of the Dragonseason 2 , sequence 1 makes one Daenerys Targaryen plot gob fromGame of Thronesa lot worse . For the most part , House of the Dragon ’s timelinemeans it does n’t have too much of an shock on its herald , since this is all encounter 170 + years earlier . There are some exceptions , however , such as Aegon the Conqueror ’s A Song of Ice and Fire recontextualizing the White Walkers ’ defeat .
There ’s nothing quite so spectacular inHouse of the Dragonseason 2 , sequence 1 , but there is one story that has an impact on Daenerys . More specifically , it ’s relate to a game maw with Dany flying her dragons North of the Wall inGame of Thronesseason 7 , instalment 6 , “ Beyond the Wall . ” That had seemed like a contradiction in terms of lore , and its prequel just made it bad .
Drogon flew away with his Khaleesi after Daenerys ' death in the Game of Thrones close . Here ’s what ’s known about where Drogon went after GoT.
Daenerys' Dragons Flying Over The Wall Makes Less Sense After House Of The Dragon
Fire & Blood Created The Original Problem
Daenerys fly her dragons beyond the Wall to redeem Jon Snow et al did n’t seem too problematical at the time , but did become so when George R.R. Martin’sFire & Bloodwas released just a twelvemonth later . The book revealedthe story of Queen Alysanne ’s sojourn to the Wall , and how her dragon Silverwing refused three times to go beyond it . Why did her flying dragon turn away - or was as if by magic ineffectual - to go beyond the Wall , when Daenerys ’ were n’t ?
Taking place about 172 years before the outcome ofGame of Thrones , House of the Dragontells the tale of the wage increase of the Targaryens , the only kin of dragonlords to exist the Doom of Valyria . The democratic HBO spinoff show first starred Milly Alcock and Emily Carey as Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower before they were supervene upon by Emma D’Arcy and Olivia Cooke , who play the older version of the characters . Also starring in the series is Matt Smith ( Prince Daemon Targaryen ) and Paddy Considine as Rhaenyra ’s father , King Viserys Targaryen .
House of the Dragonseason 2 double over down on this plot trap . Cregan Stark tell the story to Jacaerys Velaryon , which ensures that it exist in the TV show canyon , meaning this ca n’t just be hand - undulate away as a variant between book traditional knowledge and the show . In fact , it not only happened , but is authoritative enough for Cregan to tell Jace about it even in such a brief scene .
In Fire & Blood , it ’s just Silverwing who won’t / can’t go beyond the Wall , but in House of the Dragon , it was King Jaehaerys ’ tartar , Vermithor , too .
TheGame of Thronesprequel also changes the story , too . InFire & Blood , it ’s just Silverwing who won’t / can’t go beyond the Wall , but inHouse of the Dragon , it was King Jaehaerys ’ dragon , Vermithor , too . That means it was n’t just one dragon acting of their own accord , but two - both of whom are bigger and more knock-down than Dany ’s - who either could n’t or would n’t fly beyond the Wall .
As war erupts in Westeros , dragons will be send to battle . Here ’s a description of every dragon in HBO ’s House of the Dragon , heading into season 2 .
Taking place about 172 years before the events ofGame of Thrones,House of the Dragontells the tale of the rise of the Targaryens, the only family of dragonlords to survive the Doom of Valyria. The popular HBO spinoff show first starred Milly Alcock and Emily Carey as Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower before they were replaced by Emma D’Arcy and Olivia Cooke, who play the older versions of the characters. Also starring in the series is Matt Smith (Prince Daemon Targaryen) and Paddy Considine as Rhaenyra’s father, King Viserys Targaryen.
manifestly , there ’s the timeline with the beginning stuff to regard , sinceFire & Bloodwasn’t released when Dany was fly beyond the Wall . In fact , Martin ’s novellaThe Rogue Prince , from 2014 , include a write up tell by Viserys to his grandchild about Jaehaerys :
" His Grace gave the baby a pearl ring off his finger’s breadth to play with , and narrate the twins the story of how their great - large - grandsire and namesake Jaehaerys the Old King had wing his dragon northward to the Wall to defeat a immense horde of wildlings , giants , and wargs . "
That meansthe plot hole really add up fromFire & Blood , which say a different variant of events and left out that story ( though it ’s very in all probability Viserys ’ account was an exaggerated take to entertain kids ) . That ’s not reallyGame of Thrones ’ geological fault , of course , butHouse of the Dragoncertainly worsen the problem when it could instead have looked to offer an explanation .

So, Why Did Daenerys’ Dragons Fly Over The Wall When Silverwing & Vermithor Refused?
Can The Game Of Thrones Plot Hole Be Fixed?
House of the Dragondidn’t give an answer to the plot hole and rather compounded the issue , but it ’s worth considering if there are any likely fixes for the patch hole . After all , the White Walkers were more active inGame of Thrones , so if they were the cause for Silverwing and Vermithor not crossing , then Drogon , Rhaegal , and Viserion would have greater reasonableness not to .
House of the Dragon season 2 ’s comeback to the Wall get with an ominous warning from Cregan Stark , but does that intend there ’ll be White Walkers ?
It could but be that these are dissimilar dragon in different circumstances . Perhaps the nature of the minute , with Jon Snow and companionship needing to be saved , and Dany ’s desperation to do so , helped overrule any reluctance the dragons may otherwise have had . Perhaps the impending state of war against the dead , the entire purpose of the Targaryens in Westeros as perAegon ’s A Song of Ice and Fire dream , meant that now was the metre for them to go beyond the Wall .
There ’s also the matter of conjuring trick to consider here . One possibleness is that it ’s related to the Night King ’s mark : Bran had this when he crossed back through the Wall , which was before Daenerys and her dragons flew over it . If the magic worked both ways , could it have somehow broken it , allow dragons to scotch over ? All of these are possible , if not sodding , explanation .

at long last , it comes down to discrepancies in the show and Quran , whichHouse of the Dragonseason 2 has made worse . It ’ll be interesting , then , to see whether Martin himself includes dragons going beyond the Wall in eitherThe Winds of WinterorA Dream of Spring , and , if so , whether he addresses how they do it . Until then , it ’ll just have to remain a frustratingGame of Thronesplot hole .
