A moment in Rhaenyra’s war will soon reflect the image of Visenya
One page that Rhaenyra reads inHouse of the Dragonseason 2 sport an image of Queen Visenya taking a castle with her flying dragon burning fire below . House of the Dragonlingering on this image is no accident , as Rhaenyra will accomplish a similar effort long before theDance of the Dragons concludes . Thepicture of Visenya prognosticate Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen taking King ’s Landing , which , fit in to George R.R. Martin’sFire & Bloodbook , she accomplishes while riding in on her dragon Syrax .
House of the Dragon season 2 ’s story was recount in George R.R. Martin ’s Fire & Blood , but the book does n’t have a tangible reply for one Rhaenyra question .
Like Visenya , her sister Rhaenys , and pal Aegon taking Westeros and lay down a stead on King ’s Landing during the Conquest , Rhaenyra will take King ’s Landing from Aegon II Targaryen with her hubby Daemon conduct the rush . Rhaenyra will actually have more dragon power than the Conqueror did during the autumn of King ’s Landing , as Team Black will tease in the specialty of Rhaenyra on Syrax , Daemon on Caraxes , Addam of Hull on Seasmoke , Ulf White on Silverwing , and Hugh Hammer on Vermithor .

I’m So Glad House Of The Dragon Is Setting Up Rhaenyra As A Warrior In The Dance
Rhaenyra isn’t just having all her battles fought for her
The tease of Rhaenyra wanting to be more like Queen Visenya Targaryen does n’t just apply to foreshadowing the dusk of King ’s landing place , but alsosets up her character to be far more of a warrior in the showthan she was in the book . InFire & Blood , the Fall of the King ’s landing place was really the only time that Rhaenyra put herself straight in hurt ’s way for a likely battle while on Syrax . However , House of the Dragonseems to be giving Rhaenyra a more dynamic part in ensuring that she ’s train to defend herself and fight in the Dance of the Dragons , much like Visenya during Aegon ’s Conquest .
House of the Dragonseason 2 ’s trailer alreadyteased Rhaenyra pick up a swordand acquire how to fight with it , so I ’m stir thatshe intends on fighting her own warfare instead of simply throw it fight for her . It seems that she was inspired to peck up a sword after her helplessness during theDuel of the Cargyll Twins , as she would n’t want to find herself in such a vulnerable position again with her life constantly in danger . With Rhaenys flying into the face of danger without hesitation during the Dance , I ’m glad the show is setting up Rhaenyra to do the same .
House Of The Dragon’s Fall Of King’s Landing Scene Will Help Redeem A Game Of Thrones Episode
The Fall of King’s Landing will mirror “The Bells”
Part of the reason why I ’m so activated for the Fall of King ’s Landing is how much it ’ll becompared to “ The Bells ” inGame of Thrones . WhenDaenerys Targaryen took King ’s Landing on Drogon in " The Bells , " it understandably was received with plenty of backlash about her type becoming the “ Mad Queen . ” Rhaenyra will also be a Targaryen queen claim King ’s landing place and the Iron Throne that is hers by legal philosophy of hereditary pattern . But , while Dany accomplished this by cut the city and kill thousands of unacquainted people , Rhaenyra does so with most casualty being soldiers and Team Green loyalists .
The circumstances are unbelievably different , but it will berelieving to see a Targaryen queer take the Iron potty back without so much division about how she execute it . Visenya , Rhaenyra , and Daenerys are the only poove in House Targaryen ’s history to make their enemies cede while tantalise in on dragonback , but all go about it in different path . Unfortunately , like Daenerys ’ short - subsist time on the Iron Throne , Rhaenyra wo n’t have a appreciation on King ’s landing place for too long after she at last takes it inHouse of the Dragon .
The Fall of King ’s landing place could happen in House of the Dragon as before long as the end of time of year 2 or time of year 3 .
New episodes ofHouse of the Dragonseason 2 dismissal Dominicus at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and Max .
