WARNING: This article contains SPOILERS for House of the Dragon season 2, episode 3 and George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood book, on which the show is based!
Daenerys’ Dragon Eggs Confirmed
In an intriguing development, House of the Dragon season 2, episode 3 confirms the origin of Daenerys Targaryen’s dragon eggs from Game of Thrones. In this episode, Rhaenyra presents four dragon eggs to Rhaena, three of which are Daenerys’ dragon eggs from Game of Thrones. The scene sparks speculation about the origins and fate of these dragon eggs.
The Fourth Mysterious Egg
The fourth egg, a mysterious blue one, could hold significant importance. Fans theorize it might be related to Rhaena’s dragon Morning from George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood. It’s fascinating to consider how these eggs connect both series and delve deeper into Targaryen lore.
Insight from Director Geeta Vasant Patel
The episode’s director, Geeta Vasant Patel, confirmed that
those are indeed Daenerys’ dragon eggs. In an interview with Mashable, she shared, Those are Daenerys’ eggs… All of us who work on this show are big Game of Thrones fans, so it was very exciting to shoot that scene.
Impact on Targaryen Lore
This revelation alters previous fan theories and book implications about the eggs’ origins. While it was believed they came from Dreamfyre’s clutch stolen by Elissa Farman during King Jaehaerys I Targaryen’s reign, House of the Dragon now suggests they were laid by Syrax. This adds a new layer to the Targaryen history.
A Question of Symmetry in Westeros
The symmetry in Rhaena transporting Daenerys’ eggs to Essos adds depth to their journey and ties into an established storyline. As George R.R. Martin explains in Fire & Blood, Rhaena was a key figure in Westerosi dragon history before their extinction leading up to Daenerys bringing them back in spectacular fashion.
This Easter egg enriches the lore for dedicated fans while providing a compelling link between HBO’s two flagship series. New episodes air Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and Max.
