In the season premiere of House of the Dragon, Aegon II and Aemond are eager for war, and HBO's sound crew takes a big swing.
Welcome back to sunny Westeros, where the fire-breathing dragons run free and the serfs are nervous. If you need help re-orienting yourself to where things stand, vis-a-vis exactly whose noble kiester now sits the Iron Throne and precisely which royal chump got his fool self royally chomped, here’s aWe’ve switched to embroidery for season 2. I’m gonna go ahead and conjecture that what we’re seeing here is the handiwork of Queen Helaena, who’s always stitching something or another.
A raven flies north. A beauty shot of Winterfell. And a Stark’s voice over it all, whanging on about Duty and Honor, as is their wont, in that familiar accent clotted with thick Northern dipthongs. It feels like Homecoming Week, Westeros-style.The voice and claggy vowels in question, this time out, belong to Cregan Stark, who’s Lord of Winterfell these days.
On Driftmark, home of Rhaenyra’s allies House Velaryon, a recovering Lord Corlys inspects the repairs to his navy’s flagship. He exchanges a few words with Alyn, a shipworker.

At the Red Keep, Ser Arryk walks the battlements. When a dragon is spotted, the soldiers prepare to defend the castle with scorpions.
