When Dragon House was shown in the first episode without an intro, fans were dismayed. After all, Game of Thrones it had one of the most impressive and least jumpy openings in any television series. Because of this, following in the wake of such a monster seemed somewhat elusive. Luckily, It seems that Dragon House found a way and focused on the Targaryen family line.
Bye Game of Thrones presented us with a sequence divided into the Seven Kingdoms and other important areas of its geography, Dragon House He chose something else. Thus, they turn the famous motto of House Targaryen “fire and blood” into the most entertaining introduction. And just like Game of Thrones, says a lot more than meets the eye.
To continue the lineage Dragon House decided to use the same soundtrack who has already introduced us Game of Thrones in every entry. An epic and medieval tune that serves as our first contact with a world where magic, history and political intrigue are just as powerful and destructive.
What does the intro show? Dragon House?
Let’s start by identifying where this happens. While Game of Thrones turned out to be a map of the world in the Citadel, the entry point Dragon House It comes in much earlier. If you paid attention to the first two episodes, you noticed that This is a stone model of Old Valyria, located in the room of King Viserys..
Although Old Valyria was finally destroyed by an unprecedented cataclysm, his legacy continues in the blood of the Targaryen royal family. Thus, the sequence of administration for Dragon House makes heritage and tradition one of the central points of his story.
Fire and blood, the Targaryen motto comes to life
It is through this stone support that we see the running blood. Moving along the canals, stairs and lanes, strikes and activates insignia representing the characters of the Targaryen family. The first one shows us a portrait of a dragon in a script that is possibly Valyria’s Curse. However, once it finishes filling with blood, only the engraving of the crown remains. This insignia, of course, represents Aegon the Conqueror.
While the blood flows through the channels, intro Dragon House shows us other icons. Some of them are impossible to identify, at least not at first, but there is one that stands out. If you’ve been following the details of Rainier’s wardrobe, you will see his collar symbol on one of the icons. Yes, the same necklace that Damon Targaryen gives her at the beginning of the first episode.
In one part of the intro, we see how the blood is divided into a large tree, obtained from two parallel icons. They will belong to King Jaehaerys and Queen Alysanna. reminds us of incest in the Targaryen family as an attempt to keep “pure” blood. Other traces of blood obtained will symbolize children from said marriage.
Although this is a very extensive family tree, the sequence leads us to the main characters. Thus, he ends up in the emblem of Rainier, in order to then show us the stone model from the airand completely crossed out with traces of Targaryen blood.
What can we expect from the future intro for Dragon House?
There is a theory in the Reddit communities that is slowly spreading. As you remember from the introductory sequence for Game of Thrones, the map of different regions changed as the events of the series took place. Thus, we had the destruction of cities, the change of banner in fortresses captured by enemy houses, and so on.
Well, since I met Dragon House exhibits Targaryen insignia, Reddit users came up with a great idea. In sequence the insignia of those Targaryens who have died throughout history are covered in blood — like Aegon — the still alive rise — like Rhaenyra.
So we can assume that the position of these mechanisms and their relationship to blood will change as characters die in the series.. This will allow us to keep track of the number of deaths in future seasons and given which series is the predecessor Dragon Housewe can bet there will be many.
