House of the Dragon: Plot
As of now, the makers have not disclosed the compact plot for the series. Nevertheless, the promotional video for ‘House of the Dragon’ reveals that the story takes 200 years before Game of Thrones, which is offering fans a chance to see House Targaryen at its peak where the mighty rulers of Westeros with several Targaryens are still alive and over many dragons still alive.
The conflicts between Rhaenyra, Daemon and Alicent’s family were also revealed in the teaser. The teaser is presented by Matt Smith’s Daemon, who chillingly explains that the dragons are what made the Targaryens powerful, indicating that whoever controls the majority of the creatures has a better chance of winning the deadly civil war.
Although both Rhaenyra and Alicent are played by younger actors, House of the Dragon will travel back in time to explore their youth. It might give the characters a lot more history before things take a dramatic turn in adulthood. It is also possible that the show may go into further detail about the family’s past, which could help explain Daenerys’ transformation into the Mad Queen. Still, this seems prediction only, and these speculations could vanish once makers reveal the official plotline.
