n terms of battle ready dragons

Team Black:

Queen Rhaenyra - Syrax
King Consort Daemon - Caraxes
Prince Jace - Vermax
Princess Baela - Moondancer

Team Green:

Aemond - Vhagar
Helaena - Dreamfyre (haven’t shown her ride in the show)
King Aegon - Sunfyre* (*both critically injured but cliffhanger so still including as unknown)

Up for grabs:
Seasmoke (Laenors)
Vermithor (Daemon found and sang to last season)

There’s also other couple wild ones around


Good Summary but Silverwing is also up for grabs. It was Queen Alysanne's dragon. known to be one of the tamer dragons. But thats like calling a Crocodile one of the tamer crocs, it'll still bite your arm off if it feels like it.

Also the Greens have Tessarion who is Alicent's youngest son's dragon. They reside in Old Town and have not been on the show yet. Though Daeron has been mentioned.

Who was the blonde Targaryen looking woman that Daemon saw in his hallucination in his chambers?

His mom, Alyssa. Died when he was only 3… rode Meleys. Daemon wouldn’t really know or have much memory of her…he tried to claim Meleys but she apparently rejected him and then accepted Rhaenys

Did anyone else expect Larys to want a crack at rubbing one out to Alicent's feet, even in her vulnerable state?

Edit: She claimed it at 13. I thought she may have ben older when it happened.

Why would Rhaenys not already have a dragon at that point?

They don't all get hatchlings. If there is an egg available, they get one but sometimes they don't hatch or they hatch but don't survive. If you don't get a hatchling, then you have to claim a dragon if you want one and I'd think 13 would be about the youngest one could successfully approach a full grown dragon and mount it. Aemond and Vhagar being an exception of course.

the targaryen method for claiming dragons is a bit wild.

Aemond just climbed up on the single most powerful weapon in the world one night when he was 13.

Yeah, I was thinking she was like 30 years older than him so she would have had a dragon be he had the chance. It’s the ages that are throwing me off

I don't think she is supposed to be that much older than him. Think about it: Daemon is Viserys's brother and Viserys was up against Rhaenys for the crown at the great council of 101. Meaning that Viserys and Rhaenys were first cousins and had to have been around the same age. Therefore Daemon couldn't have been THAT much younger than Rhaenys.

They’re much older in the show than in the books so it’s a little vague. In the books Vicerys is 30 when he married Alicent who’s 18 at the time. Raeynes is 27 and Deamon is 26 but in the show Vicerys is 49, Deamon is 41 and Raeynes is 52 in S1 going by the actors ages.

Wait.. aren’t Rhaenyra and Alicent supposed to be about the same age?

If so that would mean Viserys was like 12 years old when Rhaenyra was born.

Same was true for Game of Thrones. In the books Jon and Robb were 14 and Dany was 13. I think the show actually tried to say they were 16 but the actors were clearly much older, I think all three of them were 25+.

Viserys was 20 when Rhaenyra was born. Alicent is 9 years older than Rhaenyra.
