The Big Picture With the iconic theme song from Game of Thrones, the opening credits and title sequence of House of the Dragon always manages to put the audience in the mood to return to Westeros. The spin-off had considerable competition when it came to the intro, as Game of Thrones was unforgettable. Yet Season 1's title sequence didn't disappoint.
The images continue as the old Valyria is destroyed, showing volcanoes and dragons falling from the sky. The destruction of Old Valyria is a largely mysterious event, but the Targaryens were not there to see it. Aegon's conquest included many battles and resulted in the death of two royal lines – Harren, King of the Rivers and the Ilse, and Marn Gardner, King of the Reach. The shields scattered in the tapestry's image show both of these sigils, and the body in the center has an ax nearby, making it Harren the Black, the King who completed Harrenhal before Aegon I and Balerion killed his line and raised House Tully to be Lord Paramount of the Riverlands.
The Rule of King Jaehaerys The next image in the title sequence introduces the fourth Targaryen King, Jaehaerys, with his sister-wife Alysanne. After his brother died in the conflict with Maegor, Jaehaerys became the rightful heir, and he ascended the throne after Maegor's death, though only 14 at the time. Hailed as a great king, Jaehaerys reigned for 55 peaceful years, becoming the longest-ruling Targaryen monarch.
