This time on the Silent Sisters', covering the penultimate episode of the season "The Red Sowing", LIttleWolfBird and Blue_Lemons are joined by returning guest and lovable devil's advocate, Pat Sponaugle, and first timer and drink-mixer extraordinair, Sean Pink! In a shocking and unplanned start to the episode, Pat and Sean stage a coup, take over the show, and drive your High Heretics headfirst into a Criston Cole discussion. We learn that it's all Otto's fault, oh and did you know he was a feminist? Alicent takes a much needed vacation to the Kingswood with one of the last remaining King's Guar knights and we all want to join her. Aemond dismisses Aegon's bff's, sending them to the wall while Larys and Jasper consult each other on whether to give the Prince Consort some perhaps dubiously sourced and potentially unreliable information. Sean blows our minds about Larys encouraging Maester Orwyle in gaming the system plus, perhaps Targaryan's have magical healing powers, question mark? LittleWolfBird once again goes on to question Addam's parantage based on Corlys' behavior this episode however, she concedes that it doesn't have to be Laenor and everyone agrees: this dragon claiming plan wasn't well ... well planned. Pat teaches us how claiming a dragon is not unlike coming upon a bear in the woods and Sean declares that Targaryan's have steaks in their pockets. And LWB concludes the episode with a lesson on the timeline...again. 0:00:00 Intro & Criston Cole 0:16:20 Summaries 0:24:29 Dragon Western & Poor Planning 0:45:15 Alicent 0:49:30 Aemond & the Smaller Council 1:13:21 Aegon's PT 1:31:26 The Call for Dragon Seeds 2:10:31 The Red Sowing & Aemond 2:18:56 Rabbit Holes & Hyperfixations 2:43:36 Conclusion The Silent Sisters Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tumblr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BSky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TheBlueLemonTree: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tumblr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠AO3⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Recording, editing, and mixing were done by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LittleWolfBird⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Music by Mattstagraham⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Profile Art by Mondongo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Credit to George R.

Spoiler note: This House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 7 review discusses “The Red Sowing” in full, including the dragonseeds, Hugh, Ulf, Vermithor, Silverwing, Addam, Jace, Alicent, Daemon at Harrenhal, Oscar Tully, Aemond, and the ending. Mary & Blake are TV-first viewers and avoid future Fire & Blood spoilers. In our House Of The Dragon Season 2 Episode 7 review, we break down “The Red Sowing,” the penultimate episode where Rhaenyra finally gets the dragon army she needs — and maybe creates the next giant problem she cannot control. This is a huge episode for Team Black. Addam bends the knee, Hugh claims Vermithor, Ulf claims Silverwing, and Aemond suddenly realizes that Vhagar may not be enough anymore. But the episode also asks the obvious question: is giving dragon power to barely trained strangers a brilliant wartime gamble or the worst HR onboarding process in Westeros? Mary gave the episode 4.9 flames, while Blake gave it 4.85 flames. The dragon spectacle is massive, Alicent continues to get some of the show's strongest interior scenes, Oscar Tully finally gives the Riverlands plot real life, and the ending gives the season genuine momentum heading into the finale. Below, you can listen to our full podcast breakdown, watch the video version, read the recap, and follow our related House of the Dragon Season 2 coverage. Listen To Our House Of The Dragon Season 2 Episode 7 Recap And Reaction Mary & Blake discuss House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 7, “The Red Sowing,” including why the dragon selection scene is compelling but light on tension, why Alicent continues to have some of the best scenes in the show, why Team Black needs a much better HR team, and why Hugh, Ulf, Addam, Vermithor, Silverwing, and Seasmoke change the war. Subscribe To Get New House Of The Dragon Episodes APPLE PODCASTS YOUTUBE SPOTIFY House Of The Dragon Season 2 Episode 7 Recap: What Happens In “The Red Sowing”? “The Red Sowing” begins with Rhaenyra meeting Addam of Hull after Seasmoke chooses him as a rider. Addam immediately bends the knee and declares himself loyal to her, even though his parentage and connection to Corlys remain publicly unspoken. At Driftmark, Corlys continues awkwardly circling the truth about Addam and Alyn. Everyone who matters seems to know what is happening, but no one is saying the full thing out loud. Addam has just had a life-changing event, yet Corlys still struggles to acknowledge him plainly as his son. In King's Landing, Larys continues helping Aegon recover while Aemond rules as Prince Regent. Aegon is badly wounded, but he is not useless. Larys understands that better than almost anyone, and he keeps pushing Aegon's body and mind back toward survival. Alicent removes herself from King's Landing and goes into the woods with Ser Rickard. She is not exactly roughing it, but she is away from the Red Keep, away from the council, and away from the system that has swallowed her power. Her lake scene becomes one of the episode's most haunting images. At Harrenhal, Daemon finally gets movement in the Riverlands. Oscar Tully arrives as the new Lord Paramount and forces Daemon to face the consequences of the violence committed in Rhaenyra's name. To win the Riverlords, Daemon has to let Willem Blackwood die. On Dragonstone, Rhaenyra follows Mysaria's idea and summons people with possible Targaryen blood from King's Landing. The dragonkeepers object and walk away, calling the plan blasphemy. Rhaenyra proceeds anyway, bringing a crowd of would-be dragonriders before Vermithor. The attempt becomes a massacre. Vermithor burns and eats many of them before Hugh steps forward and survives the encounter. Ulf, meanwhile, stumbles into Silverwing and accidentally becomes her rider. By the end of the episode, Team Black has three new riders: Addam on Seasmoke, Hugh on Vermithor, and Ulf on Silverwing. The episode ends with Ulf flying over King's Landing on Silverwing, drawing Aemond and Vhagar toward Dragonstone. But when Aemond sees Rhaenyra standing with multiple dragons and riders, he turns back. For the first time in a long time, Vhagar is not the only answer. House Of The Dragon Season 2 Episode 7 Review “The Red Sowing” is exactly what a penultimate episode should be in this season: not necessarily the biggest battle, but the episode that changes the math before the finale. The strongest thing the episode does is make dragon power feel both miraculous and horrifying. Vermithor is spectacular. Silverwing is joyful. Seasmoke has personality. The final image of Rhaenyra with her dragons is powerful. But the process of getting there is ugly, reckless, and full of dead people who were treated more like applicants than human beings. That is the tension at the center of the episode. Rhaenyra needs riders. Vhagar has changed the entire war. Rook's Rest proved that Team Black cannot keep pretending restraint will save them. But Rhaenyra's solution is not clean. It is desperate, dangerous, and morally compromised. Blake's biggest critique is that the Vermithor sequence is incredible spectacle but not especially tense. The show has already spent too much time pointing at Hugh and Ulf for us to believe they are truly in danger. Once the crowd enters the dragon pit, the scene becomes less “who will survive?” and more “how long until the plot catches up to what we already know?” Mary responds more to the feeling of the dragon-bonding imagery: Rhaenyra reaching out, Hugh touching Vermithor, Ulf's chaotic joy, and the way the dragons finally seem to be choosing their people. The sequence may lack surprise, but it does not lack scale, awe, or personality. The episode also works because it is not only about dragons. Alicent's scenes are quiet but excellent. Oscar Tully gives Harrenhal the kick it badly needed. Jace finally says the thing that has been sitting underneath his story for years. And Aemond's retreat at the end gives the whole season a new tactical shape. Why Is The Episode Called “The Red Sowing”? The title “The Red Sowing” refers to Rhaenyra's attempt to find new dragonriders among people with possible Targaryen blood. She is not planting crops. She is planting power into people the old order never intended to elevate. The “red” part matters because this is not a clean recruitment drive. It is bloody. Many of the people who answer the call are burned, eaten, or trapped inside a ritual they do not fully understand. Rhaenyra gets what she wants, but the cost is enormous. The title also points toward the dragonseeds themselves: people scattered through bloodlines, secrets, brothels, bastardy, and forgotten branches of Targaryen history. Rhaenyra is harvesting that hidden inheritance because the war has made the old rules less useful. That is why “The Red Sowing” is such a strong title. It is about bloodline, bloodshed, and the terrifying idea that dragon power can move outside the royal family's clean little story about itself. The Dragonseeds Explained: Who Claims Dragons In Episode 7? The dragonseeds are people with possible Targaryen or Valyrian blood who may be able to bond with dragons, even if they are not part of the official royal line. In “The Red Sowing,” three riders matter most: Addam of Hull is chosen by Seasmoke before the mass claiming attempt begins. His connection to Corlys and Laenor gives the moment deeper family weight. Hugh Hammer survives Vermithor after stepping forward during the chaos. His Targaryen connection, grief, anger, and physical courage make him the most dramatically serious new rider. Ulf White stumbles into Silverwing almost by accident. His claiming scene is much lighter, stranger, and funnier, but it may also be the most worrying because Ulf is exactly the kind of person Blake does not want handed a dragon. The dragonseeds change the war because they solve Rhaenyra's immediate numbers problem. But they also create a much bigger question: if dragons can choose people outside the royal line, then what actually makes the ruling family special? Vermithor, Hugh, And The Dragon Selection Scene The Vermithor scene is the centerpiece of the episode. It is huge, loud, terrifying, and visually clear. The dragon is enormous. The crowd is completely outmatched. The sound design makes every scrape, breath, and movement feel dangerous. But the scene also has a tension problem. We already know Hugh has been built for something. We already know Ulf has been built for something. The anonymous people around them feel marked for death almost immediately. That means the scene works more as spectacle than suspense. Still, Hugh's moment lands because it tells us something about him. He does not simply hide. He steps forward. He protects someone else. He faces Vermithor with fear, anger, and need all moving through him at once. That is why Hugh feels like the right match for Vermithor. He is not polished. He is not noble in the traditional courtly way. He is wounded, furious, and desperate. Vermithor is not a gentle little symbol of legitimacy. He is raw power. Hugh meeting that power makes sense. Ulf And Silverwing: The Funniest Dragon Claiming Ulf's claiming of Silverwing plays like an accidental miracle. He is not noble. He is not prepared. He is not impressive in the way the dragonkeepers would want. He is terrified, scrambling, and very lucky. That is part of why the scene works. Silverwing feels different from Vermithor. Where Vermithor is all danger and domination, Silverwing feels curious and strangely gentle. Ulf becomes a rider almost by stumbling into the right place at the right time. The joy of Ulf flying over King's Landing matters because it gives the episode a burst of pure dragon fantasy. He is having the time of his life. The problem is that this is exactly why Blake is horrified. Ulf is the HR problem in human form. He gets a dragon and immediately turns into “Ulf the Dragonlord.” That may be fun for one episode. It may be a disaster for everyone later. Team Black Needs A Better HR And Onboarding System Rhaenyra's plan works, but the process is an absolute nightmare. Team Black gathers a bunch of people with possible Targaryen blood, ships them to Dragonstone, gives them almost no meaningful training, watches the dragonkeepers quit in protest, and then sends the whole group into a cave with one of the most dangerous creatures alive. Yes, the war is desperate. Yes, Vhagar is a massive problem. Yes, Rhaenyra needs riders. But this is still an onboarding disaster. The better version of this plan probably involves screening, training, smaller groups, clearer expectations, and maybe not throwing dozens of people into a dragon pit at once. Instead, Rhaenyra creates a “survive the dragon” workplace culture with a very poor benefits package. That is funny, but it also gets to the moral core of the episode. Rhaenyra is becoming more decisive. She is also becoming more willing to spend lives for the cause. That may make her more effective. It may also make her more dangerous. Jace Is Right To Be Worried Jace's frustration with Rhaenyra is not just whining. It is one of the smartest objections in the episode. Jace understands that his claim already depends on people accepting a story. Everyone knows the rumors about his father. Everyone knows he does not look like the old Valyrian ideal. His dragon has always been part of what makes him visibly Targaryen enough to survive the politics around him. Now Rhaenyra is handing that same symbol to common-born riders and unacknowledged bastards. From a wartime perspective, that may be necessary. From Jace's perspective, it undermines one of the few things protecting his future. That is why his question matters: what is he supposed to be after Rhaenyra dies? If dragonriding is no longer exclusive, then his legitimacy problem gets worse, not better. Jace is not wrong to see the generational consequence. Rhaenyra is trying to win the current war. Jace is thinking about the next reign. Alicent At The Lake Alicent's lake scene is one of the best quiet sequences of the episode. She leaves King's Landing, steps away from the Red Keep, and enters a space where she has no council table, no sons demanding power, no father answering her, and no clear role left to play. The image of Alicent floating in the water is beautiful because it is also frightening. For a moment, the show lets us wonder whether she is surrendering, cleansing herself, disappearing, or deciding what comes next. That ambiguity is what makes Alicent so strong this season. She is guilty. She is trapped. She is responsible for much of what happened. But she is also a woman who has watched the system she served strip her of usefulness the moment she became inconvenient. When she sees the bird and moves back toward shore, the scene feels less like an ending and more like a reset. Alicent may not know what she is yet, but she is not finished. Oscar Tully Finally Makes Harrenhal Matter Harrenhal has been weird, atmospheric, and full of strong images all season. But “The Red Sowing” finally gives that storyline a political jolt through Oscar Tully. Oscar arrives as a young lord everyone might underestimate, then immediately proves he understands the room better than Daemon does. He knows the Riverlords hate Daemon. He knows they are bound by oath but disgusted by what has been done in Rhaenyra's name. He knows Daemon needs them more than they need to like him. That is why the scene works. Oscar does not beat Daemon with strength. He beats him with leverage. Daemon has to let Willem Blackwood die because the Riverlords need proof that there will be consequences. It is a brutal public concession. It also may be the first useful thing Daemon has done at Harrenhal in weeks. Sir Simon Strong's reaction makes the whole thing even better. He looks like a man who dressed for a party and accidentally hosted a political execution. Daemon And Viserys: Does He Still Want The Crown? Daemon's vision of Viserys gives the Harrenhal story its emotional point. Viserys appears near the end of his life, broken down by the crown and by the burden of rule. He asks Daemon whether he still wants it. That question is the center of Daemon's whole story. He has spent so much of his life wanting recognition, power, love, and proximity to the throne that he may not know the difference between wanting the crown and wanting to be seen by his brother. Seeing Viserys in that state matters because it strips the crown of romance. The throne is not a prize. It is a burden that eats the person who carries it. The big question is whether Daemon has actually learned anything yet. The episode gives him insight, but insight only matters if it changes what he does next. Aemond Retreats From Rhaenyra's Dragons The ending of “The Red Sowing” is the episode's biggest power shift. Ulf flies Silverwing over King's Landing, and Aemond immediately reacts. He gets on Vhagar and chases the threat back toward Dragonstone. That reaction tells us something important: Aemond is still dangerous, but he is also impulsive enough to chase a provocation. Then he sees what Rhaenyra has built. Multiple dragons. Multiple riders. Rhaenyra standing in ash and confidence. Suddenly, Vhagar does not feel like an automatic win. Aemond turning back is a massive moment because it is one of the first times this season he looks genuinely checked. Not defeated, not broken, but checked. He came looking for prey and found a formation. For Team Black, that image is the victory of the episode. Rhaenyra did something dangerous and costly, but it worked. For now. House Of The Dragon Season 2 Episode 7 Ending Explained The ending of “The Red Sowing” means Rhaenyra has changed the dragon math before the finale. Before this episode, Aemond and Vhagar were the overwhelming military problem. Team Black had dragons, but not enough effective riders to counter the largest dragon in the world. After the Red Sowing, Rhaenyra has Addam on Seasmoke, Hugh on Vermithor, Ulf on Silverwing, and her own Syrax in the field. That does not guarantee victory. It creates deterrence. Aemond sees the new reality and turns Vhagar around because the battlefield no longer belongs to him alone. But the ending also plants future danger. Rhaenyra has given enormous power to people she barely knows. Hugh and Ulf may be useful now, but loyalty, class resentment, legitimacy, and control are all still unresolved. The dragons may help her win the next move and complicate every move after that. What “The Red Sowing” Sets Up Next Episode 7 sets up the Season 2 finale by giving Team Black a dragon advantage and giving everyone else a reason to panic. Rhaenyra finally has the dragonriders she needs, but her methods are becoming more ruthless. Jace sees the long-term legitimacy danger in raising common-born dragonriders. Addam is now publicly tied to Seasmoke and privately tied to Corlys' family secret. Hugh becomes a serious new power by claiming Vermithor. Ulf becomes a chaotic new power by claiming Silverwing. Aemond learns that Vhagar can be deterred when Team Black has multiple dragons on the board. Aegon continues recovering with Larys close by, which may matter if Aemond overreaches. Alicent steps away from King's Landing, but her story clearly is not over. Daemon finally gains the Riverlands, though at the cost of another public compromise. Rhaena continues moving toward the wild dragon in the Vale.

Spoiler note: This House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 6 review discusses “Smallfolk” in full, including Rhaenyra and Mysaria, Seasmoke choosing Addam, Aemond dismissing Alicent, Daemon's Harrenhal visions, Sir Steffon Darklyn, the King's Landing riot, and the ending. Mary & Blake are TV-first viewers and avoid future Fire & Blood spoilers. In our House Of The Dragon Season 2 Episode 6 review, we break down “Smallfolk,” an episode that shows what happens when the people under Targaryen rule stop being background noise and start becoming political power. The episode does what House of the Dragon does best: intimate character scenes, sharp emotional reversals, visual mirroring, and power shifting through small choices. But it also exposes one of Season 2's biggest problems: with only two episodes left, some storylines still feel like they are spinning wheels instead of moving with urgency. Mary gave the episode 4.7 flames, while Blake gave it 4.4 flames. The high points are Seasmoke choosing Addam, Aemond becoming more terrifying in power, the smallfolk turning against the Greens, and Daemon being forced to confront his past. The bigger question is whether all of this setup is moving fast enough.

Subscribe To Get New House Of The Dragon Episodes APPLE PODCASTS YOUTUBE SPOTIFY House Of The Dragon Season 2 Episode 6 Recap: What Happens In “Smallfolk”? “Smallfolk” begins with the pressure inside King's Landing getting worse. The people are hungry, the blockade is working, food is scarce, and anger is beginning to point toward the royal family instead of only toward Rhaenyra. Aemond now rules as Prince Regent and immediately makes his authority felt. He orders Criston Cole toward Harrenhal, tells Alicent she no longer has a place on the council, and wants Otto Hightower brought back. The problem is that Aemond is not simply organized. He is cold, dangerous, and increasingly uninterested in anyone who cannot serve his purpose. At Dragonstone, Rhaenyra continues searching for new dragonriders. Sir Steffon Darklyn attempts to claim Seasmoke because of his distant Targaryen blood, but the ceremony ends in fire. Seasmoke rejects him and later finds Addam, choosing his own rider instead of waiting for one to be presented. Mysaria helps Rhaenyra attack the Greens from below by sending food into King's Landing and spreading rumors among the smallfolk. The plan works. The people turn their hunger into rage, Alicent and Helaena are nearly overwhelmed in the streets, and the Green regime looks weaker than ever. Meanwhile, Daemon remains trapped in Harrenhal's haunted psychology. He sees Viserys again, confronts old guilt, deals with Alys Rivers, and watches the Riverlands situation become more complicated as Lord Grover Tully conveniently dies and the path to moving that plot forward finally opens. House Of The Dragon Season 2 Episode 6 Review “Smallfolk” is a strange episode because almost everything inside the scenes works, but the episode as a whole can still feel like it is moving too slowly for this late in the season. The character work is strong. Aemond and Alicent's scene is excellent. Larys and Aegon's bedside conversation is one of the episode's best surprises. Rhaenyra and Mysaria create a major emotional and political complication. Seasmoke chasing Addam gives the hour a needed burst of dragon personality. And the riot shows that the war is no longer only about kings, queens, councils, and dragons. But the plot still fumbles in places. Daemon has been at Harrenhal for a long time. The show keeps circling Hugh, Addam, Alyn, Ulf, and the dragonseed setup without always making those characters feel fully alive yet. And with only two episodes left in the season, some of the slow-burn storytelling starts to feel less like patience and more like hesitation. That is why Blake lands lower than Mary on this one. The episode is well made, well acted, and full of strong individual moments. But the larger season engine needs to start paying off the setup faster. Why Is The Episode Called “Smallfolk”? The title “Smallfolk” points to the ordinary people of King's Landing, who become impossible for the ruling families to ignore in this episode. For most of the season, the war has been framed around royal grief, succession, dragon power, and family betrayal. But “Smallfolk” reminds us that every royal choice has a cost below the council table. When the gullet is closed, the people go hungry. When the rich hoard food, the poor eat scraps. When dragons fight, ordinary people burn, starve, riot, and pay the bill. The title also matters because Rhaenyra and Mysaria understand something the Greens keep missing: the smallfolk are not just passive victims. They are a force. Feed them, anger them, scare them, or inspire them, and they can change the political weather of the city. Aemond, Alicent, And The Burden Of Authority Aemond's scene with Alicent is one of the defining scenes of the episode. Alicent tries to mother him, advise him, and remind him that power requires judgment. Aemond responds by making clear that he no longer sees her as useful. That is what makes the moment so cold. He does not explode. He does not need to. He simply removes her from the council and tells her to return to domestic life, as if all her years of political maneuvering were only ever temporary permission granted by men. Alicent helped build the argument that women should not rule. Now that argument has come back for her. She wanted Aegon over Rhaenyra because the realm would not accept a woman. But when Aegon falls and Aemond rises, the men around her do not suddenly make an exception for Alicent. The line about the indignities of Aemond's childhood not yet being sufficiently avenged cuts to the core of him. Aemond has power now, but he is still moving from old wounds. That makes him effective, frightening, and emotionally unreachable. Larys And Aegon Become A Dangerous Pair The Larys and Aegon bedside scene is one of the episode's most interesting surprises. Aegon is broken, burned, vulnerable, and trapped in a body that no longer lets him perform the role of king the way he imagined. Larys knows what that kind of humiliation can do to a person. He speaks to Aegon not only as a manipulator, but as someone who understands what it means to be looked at as damaged, cursed, or less than whole. That does not make Larys good. It makes him more dangerous. He sees the part of Aegon that Aemond underestimates. He knows that a wounded king with a working mind can still be useful. Maybe even more useful, because everyone else may stop looking at him as a threat. Aemond may have taken the regency, but this scene suggests he has made a serious mistake by leaving Aegon alive, underestimated, and emotionally available to Larys Strong. Rhaenyra And Mysaria: Does The Kiss Work? The Rhaenyra and Mysaria kiss is the most debated moment of “Smallfolk,” and Mary and Blake land on the same basic concern from different angles: the emotional need makes sense, but the timing and politics are messy. Rhaenyra is isolated. Daemon is gone. Her council doubts her. Her son challenges her. Her claim is under pressure. Mysaria offers something Rhaenyra has not received enough of lately: belief, attention, and a sense that someone sees her as the queen she wants to be. That emotional intimacy matters. A lingering hug would have made perfect sense. A charged moment where both women realize something is shifting would have made sense too. The kiss, however, creates complications the episode does not fully process yet. Rhaenyra is married. Mysaria is politically useful but not necessarily trustworthy. Rhaenyra's council already questions her judgment. If this relationship becomes known or if Mysaria feels rejected later, the consequences could be serious. That is why the kiss matters beyond shock value. It is not simply about romance. It may be a new vulnerability. Rhaenyra needs connection, but needing connection inside a war can become dangerous fast. Mysaria's Food Plan Turns Hunger Into A Weapon Mysaria's strongest move in the episode is not the kiss. It is the food. She understands the smallfolk because she understands need. She knows that hungry people do not think in abstract claims and royal bloodlines. They think about bread, meat, fish, safety, and whether the people in charge seem to care if they live. Sending food into King's Landing under Rhaenyra's banner is a brilliant political move because it turns the Greens' weakness into Rhaenyra's opportunity. The Greens have the city, but they cannot feed it. Rhaenyra is outside the city, but she can make herself feel present inside it. The riot shows how fragile royal power becomes when the people are hungry. Alicent and Helaena are not attacked because of one clean political idea. They are swallowed by fear, resentment, rumor, and desperation. That is the burden of authority Aemond does not yet understand. Seasmoke Chooses Addam The dragon material in “Smallfolk” works because it gives Seasmoke personality and agency. Rhaenyra tries to solve the dragonrider problem with genealogy. Sir Steffon Darklyn has distant Targaryen blood, courage, and loyalty. He wants the bond to work. The ritual feels sacred and serious. But Seasmoke says no, and the result is brutal. Then Seasmoke finds Addam. That reversal is important because Addam does not claim Seasmoke in the traditional heroic way. Seasmoke claims Addam. The dragon chases him, corners him, studies him, and chooses him. It is funny, terrifying, and much more interesting than a clean ceremony. The likely reason is blood. Addam is connected to Corlys, Laenor, and old Valyria in a way Sir Steffon is not. But the episode does not reduce the moment to math. It lets the dragon make the choice. Addam, Alyn, And The Dragonseed Problem Addam becoming Seasmoke's rider finally gives the Alyn and Addam material a clearer reason to exist. Until now, their scenes have often felt like setup without enough personality. “Smallfolk” changes that because one of them is now tied directly to the dragon war. That does not mean the show has fully solved the problem. Alyn is still mostly defined by silence, shaving his white hair, and carrying resentment around Corlys. Addam has the bigger moment because Seasmoke chooses him, but we still need the show to make him more than “the guy the dragon picked.” Still, the dragonseed lane is now alive. Rhaenyra needs riders. Seasmoke has chosen one. Hugh's hair, Ulf's talk, and the growing focus on smallfolk with possible Targaryen blood are no longer random. The season is pointing toward a much bigger shift in who gets access to dragon power. Hugh Hammer And The Cost Of Hunger Hugh remains one of the most interesting smallfolk pieces because the episode complicates him. Last week, Mary was more in on Hugh because he seemed like a hardworking father trying to care for his sick child. This week, he punches someone and steals food. That does not make him simple. It makes him desperate. Hunger changes people. A sick child changes people. A city under blockade changes people. Hugh is not sitting at a council table talking about sacrifice. He is living inside it. The dog helps his case, though. He pets the ratcatcher's dog, and that matters. In a show full of people who ignore suffering, anyone who is still kind to an animal gets at least one mark in the good column. But Hugh is not just a nice man. He may be someone with enough Targaryen blood to matter, enough anger to be dangerous, and enough experience with the machinery of war to become more than background. Daemon At Harrenhal Needs To Move Forward Daemon's Harrenhal story gives us great moments, but “Smallfolk” is where the patience starts to thin. Seeing Viserys again matters. Daemon being forced back into the throne room, back into the wounds with his brother, and back into the choices that shaped him is emotionally useful. The show is making him confront his original sin: his relationship with Viserys, his hunger for recognition, and his habit of running away from responsibility. Alys Rivers also keeps working as a strange, witchy pressure point. She knows too much, appears when she wants, and seems to understand Harrenhal as more than a castle. Whether she is guiding Daemon, poisoning him, helping him, or simply watching him break, she remains fascinating. But the story needs to connect more strongly to the main season engine now. Daemon's visions cannot stay weird for the sake of weird. They need to change what he does. The good news is that Lord Grover Tully's death may finally move the Riverlands plot into its next phase. Alicent And Helaena In The Riot The riot scene is where the title “Smallfolk” becomes physical. Alicent and Helaena are no longer protected by status, symbols, or the idea that the people will simply endure whatever the crown gives them. The scene has zombie-movie energy because the crowd is not one clean villain. It is hunger, fear, panic, and anger all moving at once. The guards make things worse. A hand gets cut off. Alicent is wounded. Helaena is overwhelmed. The royal family suddenly feels very small inside its own city. Alicent's arm wound also mirrors Rhaenyra's wound from Season 1, when Alicent cut her during the Driftmark confrontation. Then, Rhaenyra was protecting Luke. Now, Alicent is protecting Helaena. The show keeps placing these women in mirrored positions, even as their choices keep them apart. That is the tragedy of Alicent and Rhaenyra. They understand each other more than almost anyone else does. But the war they helped create keeps turning that understanding into pain instead of peace. House Of The Dragon Season 2 Episode 6 Ending Explained The ending of “Smallfolk” matters because Seasmoke choosing Addam changes Rhaenyra's entire problem. At the start of the episode, Rhaenyra thinks she needs to find a person worthy of a dragon. By the end, the dragon has found someone himself. That means the dragonseed question is no longer theoretical. There are people outside the official royal line who may be able to ride dragons, and the dragons may have a say in who those people are. Politically, the ending is also dangerous. If Addam can ride Seasmoke, then Rhaenyra may have access to new power. But that power comes from outside the clean family structure she has been relying on. More riders could help her defeat Vhagar. They could also create new problems of loyalty, legitimacy, and control. For the Greens, the ending is bad news. Aemond has Vhagar and the regency, but Rhaenyra may finally have a path toward balancing the dragon math. What “Smallfolk” Sets Up Next Episode 6 sets up the final stretch of Season 2 by pushing the war below the royal family and into the people, the dragons, and the forgotten bloodlines around them. Rhaenyra gains political momentum with the smallfolk but creates a personal complication with Mysaria. Mysaria proves she may be Rhaenyra's most effective advisor and possibly one of her biggest risks. Addam becomes Seasmoke's new rider, changing Team Black's dragon problem. Alyn remains tied to Corlys and the Driftmark question, but still needs stronger characterization. Hugh becomes more complicated as hunger, family, and possible Targaryen blood keep circling him. Aemond rules with frightening calm and pushes Alicent further out of power. Aegon is wounded but not politically useless, especially with Larys now close to him. Alicent sees how quickly the people can turn when authority fails to feed them. Daemon may finally be forced to move forward after another round of Harrenhal visions.

This week Ender and James breakdown and review episode 7 of HBO's House of the Dragon "Driftmark". Episode Overview King Viserys and his court attend Lady Laena's funeral in Driftmark. Rhaenyra and Daemon reunite and are physically intimate. Viserys fails to reconcile with Daemon. Prince Aemond claims Vhagar as his dragon, causing an altercation with his cousins and nephews in which Lucerys slashes Aemond's eye with a knife. Wanting retribution, Queen Alicent lunges at Lucerys with Viserys' Valyrian steel dagger to gouge out his eye. Rhaenyra blocks Alicent but her arm is wounded. After claims that Rhaenyra's children are bastards, Viserys decrees anyone questioning their legitimacy will be silenced. Hand of the King, Otto Hightower later tells Alicent they will prevail, while Rhaenyra and Daemon unite against Alicent and her supporters. To continue the true Valaryon lineage, Princess Rhaenys urges that Lord Corlys pass his title through their granddaughter, Baela, claiming Laenor did not sire Rhaenyra's children. Ser Qarl appears to murder Laenor, with Rhaenys and Corlys believing a charred body is their son's. Meanwhile, Daemon and Rhaenyra privately marry in the old Valyrian Dragonlord tradition to perpetuate the pure Targaryen bloodline. After faking his death, Laenor secretly flees Driftmark with Ser Qarl.

Well, we went from a family reunion for a funeral, to grand theft dragon (or not?), to a pint-size street fight where knife beats rock. Joining us to help us sort out this royal shitstorm is a good friend and fabulous fan fiction writer, Kitfics! This episode was largely about how many of the child characters are left alone to grieve the loss of a parent, some are only allowed to do so in silence. Likewise, we see the troubling behaviors and personalities developing between young Aegon and Aemond. Bad blood has already infected the next generation, which culminates in escalating violence until Aemond is permanently injured. All of what we see going on with the children makes sense when we parse out the parenting styles. Unfortunately, Alicent and Rhaenyra seem to be repeating lessons they learned in childhood from their fathers with their own children. We also examine Laenor's worsening melancholy and the need for Rhaenyra and Laenor to break the polycule to keep their vows to support each other. In a fun and wildly speculative segment, Blue goes full tinfoil hat about Alicent, which is precisely what happens when you let three fan fic writers run amok on a podcast.

Kyle, Drew, & Drue breakdown all the important scenes, burning questions, and big moments from the seventh episode of HBO's House of the Dragon. One host suggested this was a top 10 GoT universe episode. No one fought him on it, so I guess it's cannon? The tension has never been higher. Does Rhaenyra really love Deamon? Or is she just in desperate need of an ally? Why do people think Rhanyra's kids look like Laenor? WHO BRINGS A KNIFE TO A ROCK FIGHT?! All of that and more, next.

This episode of Stark Raven Mad: A Game of Thrones podcast covers Season 1 Episode 7 of House of the Dragon titled “Driftmark.” We escape another large time jump for a week while all hell begins to break loose. Aemond takes Vhagar, Jacaerys takes Aemond’s eye, Alicent takes blood, Rhaenyra takes Daemon, Karl takes Laenor […] The post HOTD S01E07: How to Take Your Dragon appeared first on Crossroads Comedy Theater.

In today's show, we review episode 7 of "House of the Dragon" Our takes... Worst repast in history; best and worst eulogy ever; where are the parents; best kid fight in history of kid fights; worst kept paternity secret since Maury; and Laenor “no lips” Velaryon is never around when you need him.

As promised, we are back with a second helping of everyone's favorite fandom commentator, essayist, and dad expert, Patrick Sponaugle! Episode 6 was just so HUGE (Ryan Condal called it a second pilot) we had to break the discussion into 2 parts. This time we're back to finish off by focusing on the parents. The Dad Duo of Laenor and Harwin scored major points with the three of us. We talk about Laena and Daemon's marriage, what her fate says about their relationship and Daemon's parenting style. Alicent, feeling alone and at a disadvantage, resorts to some low blows against Rhaenyra and Laenor. As appalling as that was, it was also exciting to see two powerful women debating policy and "peace" in the highest halls of power in Westeros. A detail noticed in this episode led to much speculation on its possible ripple effects for the main cast: the promotion of Orwyle to Grand Maester. We revisit an earlier discussion of a House Strong theory that was shared by Micah of Clark in podcast episode 7, and Larys Strong's shocking reveal left us terrified for Alicent -- and scrubbing our minds with bleach! For a much needed palate cleanser, we had to do some gushing over our newest ship, the S.S. Rhaewin! (which has nothing to do with Sansan at all).

Discussion of House of the Dragon, Season 1, Episode 7: “Driftmark” This week's episode of Macbeth is a glorious remix of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth killing King Duncan (with a dagger, while she emasculates him, in a safe fortress, etc.). Don't worry, Cam explains the connection in passionate detail. As we approach the final time jump the hosts discuss pacing and its effect on our expectations. We also game out various sketchy characters' loyalties, including stay-at-home-dad Daemon, freaky Larys, and House Velaryon as a whole. We debate the idea that HOTD in itself has become “Team Rhaenyra”. We throw some cold water on Laenor's happy escape, and explore Viserys' legacy spread across newly central characters. Finally, we discuss the controversial low lighting of the night scenes and potential artistic and thematic explanations for it.

Are you a Green?  Or do you support #Daemyra! ? Or could you even see what was happening? HOUSE OF THE DRAGON: Season 1, Episode 7 'Driftmark' is based on George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire saga and HBO's Game of Thrones.#GameOfThrones #HouseOfTheDragon #HotD What did you think of this episode? Laenor's lifeboat outta Westeros? s1e07

In this episode of the prequel series to Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon, the entire extended Targaryen clan comes together for Laena's funeral, and tensions come to a boiling point. Aegon claims Laena's dragon for his own, which puts him at odds with Rhaenyra's and Daemon's children in a fight that has permanent consequences. Then, Alicent and Rhaenyra force the court to choose sides in the aftermath of the confrontation, showing Viserys to be weak and ineffective in the growing conflict between his wife and daughter. This then forces Rhaenyra to remove her husband Laenor from the equation so that she can marry and ally herself with her uncle Daemon Targaryen in a shocking twist ending.

Alicent tells Aegon that he must prepare to fight Rhaenyra one day for the throne. Daemon and his wife,...

This week on Geek Force, the Squad discusses Disney+'s new "Star Wars: Rogue One" prequel show, "Andor". They also examine and talk about all the exciting content that was presented at Netflix's Tudum event - updates about new seasons of "The Witcher" and "You" to new movies "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery" and "They Cloned Tyrone" starring John Boyega. And finally, Cat and Eming look at episode 5 of "House of the Dragons" - where Rhaenyra and Laenor wed. Let's just say it was a very tame wedding, by Westerosi standards.

Ten years later, Rhaenyra has given birth to three boys, Jacaerys, Lucerys and Joffrey, who all lack the silver hair of the Targaryens/Velaryons. Viserys rejects Alicent's accusation that the children are bastards. Alicent tells Aegon that he must eventually fight Rhaenyra for the throne. Daemon and Laena visit Essos with daughters Baela and Rhaena, where the Prince of Pentos offers a lordship in exchange for an alliance against a resurgent Triarchy. Unable to give birth, Laena has her dragon Vhagar incinerate her. Ser Criston, now loyal to Alicent, goads Ser Harwin into attacking him by insinuating that Harwin fathered Jacaerys. This perpetuates rumours of Rhaenyra's infidelity with Harwin. In response, Rhaenyra proposes Jacaerys marry Helaena, Alicent's daughter, which Alicent rejects, and Ser Lyonel Strong offers his resignation as Hand of the King, which Viserys rejects. Viserys permits Lyonel to escort Harwin back to Harrenhal. Harwin leaves after an emotional farewell to Rhaenyra and her children. Rhaenyra, her children, and Laenor leave for Dragonstone. Alicent confides to Larys Strong she wishes her father was still the king's Hand, so Larys helps her by having criminals cause a fire at Harrenhal that kills Lyonel and Harwin. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tradepaperbacks/message --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rangerryan/message

After 10 years, we're back in Westeros! A lot has changed between this episode and last, and the enmity between Rhaenyra & Alicent has only become worse. Rumors circle around the Heir to the Throne, Criston Cole is still pouty, Daemon has gone off to Essos to sulk about marrying a beautiful woman, and Larys Strong continues to creep us out...but at least Viserys & Laenor seem like they're enjoying themselves!

If last episode explored the themes of sex and pleasure, HotD S1E5 was all about love and marriage, with many proposals being made. Some dutiful, some taunting, and some... uh, romantic (???) but also really not. And since this is a patriarchy, these things can never be divorced (get it?) from gender and sexuality. Thankfully, we had our shining beacon of brilliance, Lo the Lynx, back with us to light the way. Join us as we discuss Viserys fighting through his declining health to get Rhaenyra to the altar, FINALLY. Power couple, Corlys and Rhaenys, share their hopes and fears for their children, revealing another layer to each of their characters. The inherant kindness and compassion in the way Rhaenyra and Laenor strike a pact to both do their duty and support each other's personal happiness in their marriage. It was beautiful to watch! We also discuss our parallel paramours, Ser Joffrey Lonmouth and Ser Criston Cole, and their very divergent attitudes towards the arrangement made by Laenor and Rhaenyra. The rift between Alicent and Rhaenyra widens as Otto Hightower poisons what's left of their friendship on his way out. Alicent doubles down on her conservativism and is the first to throw down the gauntlet of war with The Green Dress™. And things turn somber and sad as we must talk about what happened between Criston and Joffrey, the violence queer people face in real life, and our critique of how the show writers handled the manner of Joffrey's death as it relates to his sexuality.

While the nerd news may be light this week, our weekly recaps of the television series we've been following have not. The much anticipated wedding of Rhaenyra and Laenor took place in this week's episode of House of the Dragon and if we've learned anything from Game of Thrones, it's that - weddings never end well. There's always drama, someone is always acting way too sinister than they should be and you honestly don't know which character you should be paying attention to the most. We dive right into an extensive *spoiler* analysis of what went down in Westeros this past week. We're only a few episodes out from the finale of She-Hulk and praying for a name change (spoiler alert: its not going to happen) Jennifer Walters honestly deserves a name that she sees fit. I mean, even Shrek's wife got her own name: Fiona. She wasn't just called, "She-Shrek." How rude. Next week we'll be full send with our deep dive into what will probably be one of our favorite shows of all time - Andor. Diego Luna is back baby. Latinos al frent! Vámos! 

Hat sich in House of the Dragon der erste große Fehler eingeschlichen? Darüber diskutiert Jonas heute ausnahmsweise mal nicht mit Alper, sondern mit Xenia. Alper und Jonas haben schon durch unzählige Folgen der originalen HBO-Serie geführt. Jetzt geht es weiter mit den Folgenbesprechungen zur lang erwarteten Serie über die Machtkämpfe der Targaryens um den eisernen Thron. Heute: Die fünfte Folge “We Light the Way”. Während Daemon Targaryen seiner Ehefrau im Grünen Tal einen Besuch abstattet, reisen Viserys und Rhaenyra nach Driftmark. Hier schlägt Viserys Corlys und Rhaenys Velaryon eine Heirat zwischen deren Sohn Laenor und seiner Tochter vor. Trotz beidseitigem Desinteresse aneinander sind Laenor und Rhaenyra einer Zweckehe nicht abgeneigt. Das gefällt allerdings nicht jedem. Startdatum: 12. September 2022 (Sky, Wow) Länge: 57 Minuten Genre: Fantasy, Mittelalter, Drama Showrunner: Miguel Sapochnik, Ryan Condal Regie: Claire Kilner Darsteller: Paddy Considine, Milly Alcock, Matt Smith, Emma D'Arcy, Rhys Ifans, Steve Toussaint, Eve Best, Fabien Frankel, Emily Carey, Graham McTavish, Sian Brooke Timestamps: 00:00:00 - Anmoderation 00:00:48 - Intro 00:03:53 - Richtigstellungen & Kommentare 00:15:40 - Folgenbesprechung 02:48:59 - Fazit Moderation & Redaktion: Xenia Popescu, Jonas Ressel Kamera, Ton & Schnitt: Patrik Hochnadel #houseofthedragon #folgenbesprechung Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cinemastrikesback/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/csb_de Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/CSB_DE/ Cinema Strikes Back gehört zu #funk.

HBOners Season Five - House of the Dragon The time has come to merge the two mighty dragon-houses of Velaryon and Targaryen, and it'll take some kissing cousins to get the job done. Laenor and Rhaenyra are pledged to one another, but not without agreeing to a few relational compromises (ahem: open marriage). It's Episode 5: "We Light the Way", and in the land of Westeros, King Viserys continues to grow sicker and sicker. Lord Hightower high-tails it out of town. Boyfriends are cast asunder. Uncle Daemon returns to court, though his wife is not so lucky. Wedding banquets are thrown. Queen Alicent has plans of her own. Leeches! Crying face-tree! Banquet battles! Betrayals! Murder! Beaches! Dragons! Join The HBOners for the fifth episode of House of the Dragon, as they continue to rate, rant, retell, and ramble about their favorite (and least favorite) moments of this week's episode.

Teníamos entradas para la Boda Real (de la reventa, por supuesto) y nos presentamos en Desembarco, vestidos con nuestros chándales de los Boston Celtics, to guapos, en verde y negro. Total, que nos echan diciéndonos que las entradas son falsas y que nuestro atuendo incita a la Guerra Civil y ni siquiera deja claro de qué bando estamos. Una pena, porque traíamos unos regalos estupendos: una camiseta con el lema “Venga, tío... ¡No me jodas!” para Rhaenyra, y otra que ponía “Mi amor se parte la cara por mí”, para Laenor. Pues nada, ellos se lo pierden.

A royal wedding between Rhaenyra and Laenor goes awry in Westeros — hard to believe!  Just another day of madness on House of the Dragon.

This past week of Movies and TV is one for the books and needs to be recorded. Thankfully this podcast can serve as a record. "The Woman King" (1:29), the historical epic about the Agojie warriors starring Viola Davis has hit theaters, as well as the prequel to Ti West's horror film "X" that we reviewed earlier this year, entitled "Pearl" (19:11) starring Mia Goth. Season 4 of "Atlanta" (34:07) has hit the airwaves and as the last season premieres, we talk about how we feel about the first two episodes as well as where the season might be headed. We also discuss Episode 5 of "House of the Dragon" (55:24) entitled "We Light The Way," which follows Viserys asking Corlys and Rhaenys that Rhaenyra be married to their son Laenor. Also last week the 2022 Primetime Emmy Awards (1:37:22) went down, and we have talk about some notable award winners. News of the Week (1:52:18) Rogue Squadron cancelled , Constantine 2, Blade Runner series, Karate Kid (Song: Move x Beyonce Ft. Grace Jones & Tems)

In King's Landing läuten die Hochzeitsglocken. Thronerbin Rhaenyra soll mit Laenor, dem ältesten Sohn aus dem Hause Velaryon vermählt werden. Eigentlich ein genialer Schachtzug für den König Viserys, wären da nicht diverse Intrigen an seinem Hof zugange. Was hat die Liebschaft seiner Tochter mit einem Ritter der Garde für Folgen, speziell wenn dieser einen weiteren Schwur brechen möchte? Haben die Mitglieder des Hauses Royce Grund zur Annahme, dass Prinz Daemon den Tod ihrer Erben zu verantworten hat? Findet die Königin Alicent nicht nur einen, sondern gleich zwei neue Verbündete am Hofe? Und wie erfreut ist ihr Gemahl, dass sie in einem grünen Kleid zu spät zur Hochzeit erscheint?

The title of this episode should have been "Sex, Murder and Mayhem because MAN!!! And it has been the best one by far. The lines have been clearly drawn. We start things off with the ain't shitness of Daemon, and at that moment, I knew this episode would be CRAZY.  We finally got to see Daemon's wife at the Vail and she was around long enough to have a cup of coffee. We got to see hating ass Otto doing hating ass Otto shit, planting seeds of discord. We also got to see Larys "Lil Foot" Strong  doing the same. But the main focus of this episode was the bringing together of the two houses by way of marriage between Rhaenyra and Laenor....and as we saw, things did not go over smoothly. A weeks worth of planned celebrations didn't even make it through the night...And the mending of the relationship between Alicent and Rhaenyra is no more thanks to Ser Cristen Cole and his loose lips. He folded like a chair for no reason. There was so much going on here. The forgings of new relationships. The ending of old ones. And the chess playing and intrigue were definitely at the forefront of it all....Press play and let's get into it.Youtube:https://youtu.be/LjirbJX5ldEApple Music:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep1-the-heir-to-the-dragon-recap/id1641754247?i=1000577353881Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/episode/2eOsE7L3DTn4l1ObJCXhzh?si=lstDDAZLSCWdCULJcXu9Vg&utm_source=copy-linkAmazon Musichttps://music.amazon.com/podcasts/45279c3a-c09f-47d1-a3a3-88e6e2507230/watch-dem-thrones-by-black-with-no-chaserIHeartRadiohttps://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-watch-dem-thrones-by-black-101286659/? #houseofthedragon #watchdemthrones #demdragons #hbo #hbomax #fire #jokes #gameofthrones #recap #podsincolor #blackwithnochaser #podsincolor

It's time for a royal wedding in Westeros, and that means absolutely nothing can go wrong! Nat & Stu are back (super early, with Nat's recap to follow) to discuss all the hijinks of the Lavender Marriage between Rhaenyra and Laenor, the fallout from the Princess' secret assignation with Ser Criston Cole, and the falloff from whatever the hell disease is plaguing poor Viserys. Plus Alicent goes full FASHION. Enjoy!

This week we're covering Episode 3 of HBO's HOUSE OF THE DRAGON, a Game of Thrones prequel series that we'll cover every week as the episodes premiere.

Primo episodio della serie sulla Danza dei Draghi, che non può certo cominciare senza parlare del Gran Concilio del 101 AC. Dopo anni di sicurezza, a seguito di morti importanti e in rapida successione Re Jaehaerys I si ritrova solo e con poco tempo da vivere. La sua successione è dubbia, tra figli dimenticati, una casata snobbata e nipoti non poco ambiziosi. Proprio su consiglio del figlio Vaegon, viene indetto un Gran Concilio, con i lord del regno chiamati da ogni suo angolo per risolvere la questione della successione al trono. Ma cosa si è davvero deciso in quel di Harrenhal, e su che basi? E in che modo questo Gran Concilio risulterà fondamentale per la Danza dei Draghi?Art by: Marc Simonetti for The World of Ice and FireLink utili:1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=My2gfzRJy1k&t=95s2) https://racefortheironthrone.wordpress.com/2017/08/07/a-parcel-of-rogues-in-a-nation-the-great-councils-of-westeros-part-i/3) https://warsandpoliticsoficeandfire.wordpress.com/2015/06/10/the-three-heads-of-the-dragon-kings-pretenders-and-the-ladies-of-fire-the-great-council-of-101-2/4) https://www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/comments/16mqp1/spoilers_all_complete_guide_to_westerosi/5) https://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?%2Ftopic%2F146027-rlj-v164%2Fpage%2F20%2F#comment-80926076) https://lawsoficeandfire.wordpress.com/2019/04/10/rule-the-realm-girls/Supportate il canale in cambio di contenuti esclusivi: https://www.patreon.com/LaCittadellaQui trovate tutti i link del canale e dei suoi host: https://linktr.ee/LaCittadella
