Las guerras del rey Aegon I se narran los acontecimientos acaecidos durante el comienzo del reinado de Aegon I Targaryen. Una vez coronado como Rey de los Siete Reinos en Antigua, Aegon y sus hermanas se dispusieron a acabar con aquellos que no se habían doblegado ante su poder. Tras someter a las Tres Hermanas y las Islas del Hierro, los Targaryen fijaron su vista en Dorne, donde los Martell de Lanza del Sol se habían negado a rendirse durante la Guerra de la Conquista. Comenzó así la Primera Guerra Dorniense, conflicto encarnizado y sangriento que duró nueve años.

A fiery clash of succession ignites as the Targaryen dynasty stands at its peak. House of the Dragon plunges viewers into Westeros 200 years before Game of Thrones, when dragons filled the skies and House Targaryen ruled unchallenged—until King Viserys I broke tradition by naming his daughter Rhaenyra heir to the Iron Throne.What begins as palace intrigue between childhood friends Rhaenyra and Alicent Hightower transforms into a realm-splitting conflict known as the Dance of Dragons. Season one masterfully builds this world, introducing complex characters whose motivations blur the lines between hero and villain. Daemon Targaryen emerges as a fan favorite—dangerous yet loyal, ambitious yet principled—while figures like Criston Cole showcase how personal rejection can twist into political vendetta.Season two expands on these tensions as war begins in earnest. Though some viewers felt the pacing slowed compared to season one's dramatic conclusion, the character development deepens substantially. We watch Aegon II struggle with kingship while his brother Aemond, paired with the ancient dragon Vhagar, becomes increasingly unhinged. Meanwhile, Rhaenyra gathers allies and faces accusations mirroring those later leveled at Daenerys—that a woman who seeks power must inevitably become a tyrant.The incredible dragon sequences showcase how far CGI has advanced since Game of Thrones first aired. Vhagar's sheer size and power created some of the most memorable moments in the series, setting up anticipation for the large-scale dragon battles teased for season three, currently in production for a 2025 release.Whether you're Team Black or Team Green, House of the Dragon delivers the political intrigue, moral complexity, and spectacular visuals that made early Game of Thrones captivating.

Il nostro autore si definisce un "giardiniere", quando parla del tipo di scrittore che è. Per alcuni è il più preciso degli architetti, ma che sia l'uno, l'altro o entrambi, una cosa è certa: avere uno sguardo sul processo di scrittura di un autore che piace, o l'autore preferito, è davvero interessante.E noi, c'è da dire, siamo fortunati, perché la Cushing Library alla Texas A&M University è dal 1992 casa di tutto ciò che riguarda George R.R. Martin, compresi manoscritti dei suoi libri. E dato che è un archivio pubblico e liberamente consultabile, non sono pochi i fan che, presentatasi l'occasione, hanno deciso di fare una visita, per scoprire i segreti dei processi di scrittura del nostro autore. In questo nuovo episodio di Teorie in Pillole, che apre una serie dedicata completamente agli archivi di George R. R. Martin, andiamo ad esplorare il libro con meno cambiamenti, forse il meno eccitante quando si va a parlare di scoprire come si è evoluto il nostro autore, ma molto importante, perché dove tutto è cominciato: A Game of Thrones, un gioco di troni.Art by Magali VillenueveLink utili:1) https://www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/comments/1belw08/spoilers_extended_secrets_of_the_cushing_library/2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UquF5RNx3XY&t=551sSupportate il canale in cambio di contenuti esclusivi: patreon.com/LaCittadella Qui trovate tutti i link del canale e dei suoi host: https://linktr.ee/LaCittadella

Of all the dreamers in Targaryen history, it's difficult to argue Daenys wasn't the most crucial. It was her vision of the Doom that brought their House to safety on Dragonstone ahead of the extinction that took all of Valyria and every other dragonlord family. This episode is devoted to what we know of her life, the era in which she lived, and of course - her prophecies.Bonus Eps & More - www.patreon.com/historyofwesterosShirts & Stickers - historyofwesteros.threadless.comwww.historyofwesteros.comIntro/Maps - https://klaradox.deFacebook Group - https://bit.ly/howfbDiscord - https://bit.ly/howdiscordNina - goodqueenaly.tumblr.com/

Alla fine della reggenza di Aegon III, al compimento dei suoi sedici anni, segue il regno spezzato del re spezzato, come direbbe Gyldayn. In attesa del secondo volume di Fire and Blood, volgiamo il nostro sguardo a The World of Ice and Fire, per vedere come sono andati i ventuno anni di regno post-reggenza di Aegon lo Sfortunato, Aegon l'Infelice, Aegon lo Spezzato, Aegon Rovina di Drago (George, almeno un nome carino ce lo potevi infilare qui, lasciatelo dire). Nonostante diverse difficoltà affrontate, sorprenderà leggere che il regno in realtà è da considerare, fino a prova contraria, pacifico. Aegon il giorno del suo sedicesimo compleanno fa delle promesse che si impegna a mantenere, alle quali cercherà di fare fede anche il fratello Viserys, anche se qualcuno gli renderà la vita difficile... perché non solo si parla di regno, in questo episodio, ma anche di eredità, e quella di Aegon III è forse più interessante di altre.Art by AmokLink utili:1) https://warsandpoliticsoficeandfire.wordpress.com/2015/08/12/gorged-on-grief-a-political-analysis-of-aegon-iii-targaryen/2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfu7TXrMJj8&t=29s&ab_channel=LaCittadella3) https://www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/comments/13cpby9/dragonhatching_attempts_a_post_dragonbane/4) https://www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/comments/gav7we/the_blood_of_old_valyria_part_v_how_to_build_a/5) https://www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/comments/ajqyxo/spoilers_extended_pyres_and_blood_the_return_of/6) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysRorXaGbG0&ab_channel=HarperCollinsPublishersUK7) https://georgerrmartin.com/notablog/2019/05/20/an-ending/8) https://georgerrmartin.com/notablog/2022/07/08/a-winter-garden/9) https://theelliedoll.tumblr.com/post/83506394249/so-i-am-finally-working-on-the-bran-fisher-king00:00 Intro e premesse01:45 Il regno di Aegon III22:10 "Gorged in grief": un'analisi politica di Aegon III01:11:21 Rovina di Drago: la morte dei draghi e il loro ritorno01:55:52 L'eredità di Aegon III02:40:15 ConclusioniSupportate 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

She'll tax the masters to pay their wages and take hostages to ensure there is no recurrence.She comforts Missandei who pledges herself to her queen.

Actor Steve Toussaint, known for his role as Lord Corlys Velaryon in House of the Dragon, may have inadvertently confirmed a major casting decision for the upcoming third season. In a now-deleted Instagram post, Toussaint shared a cast list for House of the Dragon Season 3, Episode 4, revealing the inclusion of Prince Daeron Targaryen—a character long speculated to appear in the show.The post was quickly taken down, but not before fan accounts captured and circulated screenshots across social media platforms. The list also included Lady Jeyne Arryn, a character who briefly appeared in Season 2, suggesting an expanded role in the upcoming season.Daeron Targaryen is the youngest son of King Viserys I and Alicent Hightower, making him the younger brother of King Aegon II, Queen Helaena, and Prince Aemond. Unlike his siblings, Daeron was sent to be fostered by House Hightower in Oldtown, a decision made to solidify the family's influence in Westeros. Though absent from the first two seasons, his existence has been subtly acknowledged in dialogue, most notably in a conversation between Alicent and her brother, Ser Gwayne Hightower.In Fire & Blood, the novel by George R.R. Martin that serves as the basis for the series, Daeron is known to be a skilled dragon-rider, bonded with Tessarion, a blue-scaled she-dragon. While details about her age and growth differ in the source material, she is expected to be large enough for battle by the time the Targaryen civil war—known as the Dance of the Dragons—reaches its peak.Daeron's arrival is a significant development in the ongoing struggle between Rhaenyra and Aegon II for the Iron Throne. With another dragon-rider entering the fray, the balance of power may shift dramatically. His presence could also deepen the internal conflicts within House Hightower and the Targaryen factions.Additionally, Toussaint's leaked cast list hints at other notable absences and inclusions. Episode 4 will reportedly omit major players such as Prince Aemond, Otto Hightower, and Addam Velaryon, while featuring Lady Jeyne Arryn. If Jeyne plays a more substantial role, this could indicate increased focus on the Vale and its strategic importance in the war.This is not the first time House of the Dragon has faced early leaks. Casting confirmations and behind-the-scenes photos frequently surface online, fueling speculation about future plotlines. While HBO has yet to officially announce Daeron's casting, Toussaint's deleted post serves as the strongest evidence yet of his upcoming debut.Season 3 of House of the Dragon is currently in production, with a release date expected in 2026 on HBO and Max.Who is Daeron Targaryen?What This Means for Season 3A Pattern of Early Reveals

El dragón y sus ángeles pelearon». Apocalipsis 12: 7Un imponente trono, emblema de poder y autoridad, plantea la incógnita: ¿Quién ocupará tan majestuoso asiento? Entre los aspirantes se encuentran el lobo, símbolo de la casa Stark, el ciervo representativo de los Baratheon, el león que personifica a los Lannister y el dragón, emblema de los Targaryen.Desde 2011 hasta 2019, la serie Juego de Tronos, basada en la obra literaria Canción de Hielo y Fuego de George R. R. Martin, cautivó a la audiencia a nivel mundial. Durante la emisión de la serie, la televisión e Internet se vieron saturados de memes y spoilers relacionados con este relato épico que narra las intrigas y maquinaciones políticas entre los nobles de Poniente.Esta serie mantuvo a los fanáticos en vilo durante casi una década. Con o sin dragones, la trama de luchas por el poder, donde al final el ganador se lleva todo, es algo con lo que todos podemos identificarnos fácilmente. Lamentablemente, la elección de los directores para el desenlace decepcionó enormemente a la gran mayoría de los seguidores de la serie de HBO.En realidad, Juego de Tronos no es más que una parodia mediocre del verdadero conflicto: la lucha entre Cristo y Satanás, donde la elección que hagamos determinará quién será el amo y señor de nuestra mente, tiempo e influencia.Según la Biblia, esta gran controversia inició en el cielo y luego se trasladó a nuestro planeta. Según Apocalipsis 12, en cada enfrentamiento, el bien ha salido victorioso: Cristo venció al diablo en el cielo, lo derrotó en la tierra al morir en la cruz y lo ha vencido una y otra vez a través de su pueblo. Pero, ¿cuál será el desenlace final de este conflicto cósmico? La Biblia no guarda silencio al respecto: Cristo triunfará. De hecho, el gran trono es referido en la Biblia como «el trono de Dios y del Cordero» (Apocalipsis 22: 1). ¡El trono ya tiene dueño!Aunque conocemos quién gobernará el universo por los siglos sin fin, hoy queda por decidir quién liderará tu vida, quién ocupará el trono de tu corazón. ¿Será el León de la tribu de Judá o el dragón? La decisión está en tus manos.

Woohoo! Cam's latest novel / audio drama (Lemon Tarts in Space!) is available right now, right here! This is the first Targaryen checkpoint that looks to the past as much as it previews the future. Maggie tracks the theme of cross-pollination to find some surprising parallels between Dany and Sansa, and resolves her running theory of childhood and children's perspectives. Cam follows the narrowing of scope in this chapter and the broadening of sigils to become almost allegorical – Dany is starting to act like a dragon. We consider the explicit imagery of nostalgic wine being poisoned in terms of homecomings, scattered futures, and denied destinies.

"When dragons flew to war… everything burned. I do not wish to rule over a kingdom of ash and bone." Dragons - the most compelling of mythical beasts - are one of the most vivid creations of all human imagination, and their enduring resonance is captivatingly displayed by their role in George R.R. Martin's House of the Dragon and Game of Thrones. But how did the legend of the dragon, prominent across the world, evolve into the modern incarnation embodied by Rhaenyra Targaryen's golden Syrax? And what is the difference between dragons, wyverns and wyrms, the traces of which persist in Damon's reptilian Caraxes? Canonical dragons are the realisation of four main traditions: the serpents of the Greco-Roman World, the fortune-bringers of the Chinese emperors, the demonic beasts of the Bible, and the greedy gold-hoarders of Norse mythology, as seen in the tale of Beowulf. The most famous heir of this tradition is J.R.R. Tolkien's avaricious Smaug, but as in Tolkien's Middle Earth, the dragons in Martin's Westeros represent the dangers of uncontrolled power and humans' capacity to abuse it. Perhaps, then, they have long served as avatars for humanity's deepest fears about the world, with their manifestation in every age and culture tellingly symbolic…. Join Tom and Dominic as they interweave the many myths and traditions surrounding that most spectacular of beasts: the dragon, and trace its fascinating progression from the wingless creatures of early antiquity, to the mighty, complex creatures who fight for mastery of Westeros alongside their Targaryen riders, in George R.R. Martin's House of the Dragon. Watch House of the Dragon season 2 on Sky. Go to sky.com to find out more.
