HBO's HouseoftheDragon is doing an enticing job building up to the Dance of the Dragons, but there's plenty more to explore should it evolve in an anthology.
It might be too early to think ahead to what HBO’s House of the Dragon could potentially do beyond the story at hand and the event that it’s building up to, but the rich history of House Targaryen is undoubtedly tempting countless longtime fans of George R. R. Martin’s fantasy work to speculate about the exciting possibilities ahead.
In a surprise twist, House of the Dragon added a new layer of intrigue that — at least not yet — hasn’t been made clear in the source material. Episode 1 sees King Viserys tell his daughter Rhaenyra that the glory of conquest wasn’t the sole motivator behind Aegon’s Conquest, but a Dragon Dream — visions that certain Targaryens can have — of the Long Night that would eventually threaten the world in Game of Thrones.
Beyond Aegon himself, though, is even more potential to transition into the lives of him, Visenya, and Rhaenys I’s children. Maegor the Cruel — as referenced in House of the Dragon — would make for another compelling villain. Where it all began — the rise and fall of Old Valyria Another option would be to go further back still, even before the days of Aegon the Conqueror. Like with so many enticing pieces of Game of Thrones lore, the days of royal decadence in Old Valyria have also been teased but have never been realized on screen.
