This video is a completion of individual videos made in 2021 seamlessly edited together into one long video. Due to being made before i got a new mic, the audio is not at the level i put out now but is still okay, and i hope you can see how i have improved my narration over the last year. If you would rather watch these videos in bitesize chunks check out the Viserys and Dance playlists. However if you do choose to watch this long version you will find about 20 minutes of new content i cut from the original series
The Dance Of The Dragons will be the focus of the plot of the new HBO spin-off House Of The Dragon coming in 2022. So if you want to learn the story before we see HBO's take on it then this will be a very long-running series. Game Of Thrones / House of the dragon are HBO shows based on George R R Martin's A Song Of Ice And Fire series. The information in this video comes from the books a world of ice and fire as well as fire and blood.

The House of the dragon was crumbling and the events that was about to follow would only cause more damage to both sides of the war.

Hello Friends, I’m feeling much better and can now record audio again. Anyway i wanted to do something a bit different this week so i reworked some older videos that cover all the history and lore of Season 1 of House of The Dragon into one huge video. Plus this helped with the issue of losing my voice. ANYWAY this turned out to be a bigger job than i thought, half the raw files got lost when i moved to a new setup, some audio was lost that then had to be re-recorded as best i could with little voice i had and i think it worked. I also had to seamlessly connect the videos and remove all the outro music. I also added in a extra 25 ish minutes of stuff that was cut from the original videos. Anyway of your a long time subscriber i don’t expect you to watch this whole thing, it just i’ve had a few people request i do this over the lsat few weeks and this seemed like the best time to try it. And oh… I do apologies for the audio quality, i’ve got a new mic since theses videos were made and frankly i’ve worked on my narration a lot. Anyway despite the fact house of the dragon is over till 2024 i plan on sticking to 3 videos a week for the foreseeable future. I will also be merging the shorts channel into this channel now they have sorted analytics out, so there will be shorts coming soon. And finally i will be launching in 2023 a spanish language version of this Channel with the help of my Girlfriend, who’s from spain who will be translating and narrating my back catalog. I am learning spanish but trust me you don’t want me narrating videos in it. Thanks for the huge support of the last 10 weeks of house of the dragon. The growth and viewership has been way way way bigger than i every thought it would be. We grew by about 15,000 subs, and in the last month alone gained 2.5 million views. I never thought i’d reach these kinds of numbers after doing this for four years, and i cannot find the words to express how grateful i am. 2024 is a long way of so lets slog through the long wait together, if george could drop winds of winter now that would be ideal.

Harrenhal drains every House that owns it of wealth trying to garrison and maintain it. Westeros would be better off demolishing the ruin by the lake and building a more manageable castle in its place. The Riverlords and their smallfolk especially would be ecstatic to see the end of the monstrous ruin towering over them by the lakeshore.

[@WorldOfWesteros]

I low-key like the idea that the castle itself isn’t cursed, just that it’s in such a important statistic location it’s always going to be the centre of any Westeroie conflict due to its importance.

[@derekbidelman2442]

I had this day dream scenario where each of the 7 kingdoms would send 1000 people to Harenhal and turn it into a city where they could all live in the castle and start businesses and work the land and send a small portion back to there liege lords. Turn it into a huge trade city where small folks could learn a trade or gain knowledge from people that lived in the different (kingdoms). It could also be where the King garrisons and trains a royal army. High lords would send there sons there to attend a kind of West Point and learn about war tactics and also meet other young lords and perhaps avoid some conflicts because they would know each other and would have some common ground. It would be great for some poor people to have a place to live and give them opportunities. Let the people choose their representatives from each group and run the city like a counsel. Lol I know there was no Democracy in Westeros but if I were the King, I would give it a shot .

[@ikrajmohammad8999]

After watching the show I could not wait for another 2 years for a season 2 and around 4 such seasons to finish the story. Then I found your channel and understood whole dance of the dragon in one go, even before the final episode. I dont think I have spoiled myself, cos to be honest I dont have the patience to wait for 6-7 years to finish the story, and by the time season 2 comes, i would have forgotten most of it anyways. I am thankful for your content for bringing me back to the world of westeros.

Yeah, revelations is by far the most entertaining book in the bible, and I'd very much want to watch a movie or show about that, even though I know the whole story. History and prophecies can't really be spoiled. Seeing how it plays out and the vision of the production is the fun, not being surprised by the story.

[@massmutt6173]

Couldn't help but picture how you described the fight between Aemon and his nephew and the different renditions of taking his eyes or that being fable. I actually sort of enjoyed the shows take on it that it wasn't necessarily Aemons intent to kill him only to scare him and the dragons primal nature took over and led to the first shot in the war to come. They're playing Aemon and Daemon similarly in them being more conflicted characters than just outright good or evil. Makes for a more exciting fight between them in the future.

[@WorldOfWesteros]

I don't hate the changes and it does introduce some interesting concepts. I'm wondering how they will have Aemond play it i season 2, will he show remorse, or just double down and accept the role of the Kinslaying people see him as. For me this is why it is so important to remember the show is the show and the book is the book. For me there is enough witnesses and evidence to know what happened at stroms end until the point the dragons take off, after that the Maesters are assuming intent given the outcome. So having them lose control of the dragons still does fit, as in the book in reality we have no idea what went down up there. I like the fact there showing the dragons do have free will, it happens a lot of other time is fire and blood as well so it does fit

[@alicecaraballo3910]

@@WorldOfWesteros, I also think the entire premise of "losing control of their dragons" will come back to haunt some of the characters in coming seasons. Whether or not Aemond willingly embraces the title of "kinslayer", I'm hoping he'll acknowledge the value of the lesson leading up to it and learn to temper his impulses in future seasons, at least in terms of dragon warfare. Doing so would make him an even bigger threat. It could be that the older more experienced dragonriders have already learned this, and now after his tragic mistake, would put him on more equal footing with them.

It makes sense that Desmond Manderly would support Rhaenyra, it was only the generosity of the Starks that the Manderlys survived and prospered. They likely know that generosity with Rhaenyra will make her reign prosperous as well. They hope to gain from that just as the Starks have by marrying into the royal line. Likewise, White Harbor likely benefits greatly from Velaryon trading monopoly on the Narrow Sea, what better way to enhance those favorable conditions than to support their candidate, Rhaenyra.

Tbh the tradition of giving your newborn an egg so they bond with that dragon isn't the smartest thing to do. You ensure that your children will always have the smallest and weakest dragons alive, while somebody else can claim the bigger ones. Just look at what happens when somebody bonds with a young dragon, vs let's say your rival bonds with Vhagar.

I've never really thought about it that way but you are 100% right.

I would have preferred a little more ambiguity, but I can see and respect why they made the choice to be a clear cut accident on Aemond's part (Vhagar knew what she was doing). Seems like Aemond is going to treat it as if he had done it intentionally. It'll be interesting to see his psychology evolve from here out.

HBO should not have caved into the modern day politics of having to have blacks in every television show. The House of Dragon was supposed to be the introduction to the historical development of the families in Game of Thrones, which had no black families. So HBO tampers with history and introduces black families in power. So what now? Suddenly any future developments and spin offs in the future time line after Game of Thrones now has to make that fabricated black families history work. So previously white actors will need to be replaced with bi-racial actors since black is now in a family line that was previously white etc... It's a real case of caving in to modern day politics even if it means making a good tv show go bad because of irregularities and expecting the viewers to absorb that crap, pretending they can forget the original Game of Thrones had no black families. What a pity.

I find this contradictory to the story line. It’s heavily implied in the books that Rhaenyra’s sons are not Velaryon bloodline, with the confirmation of GRRM involved in the development of the the spin-off and complete written works to play off, I think it’s safe to say, they were clarifying the fact that they were not, in fact, Velaryon blood. But, if your creative projection ends at physical appearance, then you are why new talent can’t emerge.
