As a dedicated fan who has spent countless hours poring over every detail in George R.R. Martin’s epic saga, I must admit that House of the Dragon‘s recent twist regarding Daenerys Targaryen’s dragon eggs left me with mixed feelings.
In the television series “House of the Dragon,” certain alterations have been made to the original book’s plot at various points. An instance of this was observed in the third episode of the season, where Rhaenyra shared a crucial piece of information meant to be safeguarded by Rhaena.
In the episode, Rhaenyra presented four unhatched dragon eggs to Rhaena. Could these be the ones later turned to stone in Essos and gifted to Daenerys Targaryen? Given the context, it appears so. However, doesn’t this suggest that some aspects from the book have been altered?
Dany’s eggs were stolen eggs in Fire & Blood
In the story, it’s hinted that three eggs mysteriously disappeared from Dragonstone and ended up in Essos. These three eggs are speculated to be the ones that Daenerys Targaryen eventually hatched, as seen in “Game of Thrones.” While this hasn’t been definitively proven, there is substantial evidence suggesting this could be true.
The eggs originate from the haul of Dreamfyre, implying that Drogon, Viserion, and Rhaegal are all offspring of Dreamfyre.
House of the Dragon gives us another potential tale
As per the episode’s director, Greeta Vasant Patel, the eggs depicted in House of the Dragon Season 2, Episode 3, are those that Daenerys Targaryen receives at a later point in time. It is foreshadowed that three out of the four eggs we see will encounter an event, leaving them petrified and untraceable for a hundred years.
As a game enthusiast, I’d like to point out an intriguing addition to the narrative that seems to deviate from what was written in “Fire & Blood.” However, it doesn’t appear to significantly alter the grand scheme of the story. Instead, it serves as an exciting Easter egg for dedicated “Game of Thrones” viewers like myself.
1. The drama in the series intensifies during Viserys’ reign. However, events involving the stolen dragon eggs occurred years prior, featuring Rhaena Targaryen, formerly of Dreamfyre. It was her lover who swiped the eggs and ventured to Essos. Since these events weren’t depicted in the TV show, it’s understandable that they might tweak certain aspects as an Easter egg for devoted viewers.
In essence, those three eggs in Game of Thrones were never definitively established as Daenerys’ eggs. Furthermore, they are not referenced again in the books until Game of Thrones, suggesting that their significance may not be crucial. Therefore, I find it reasonable to accept this deviation as minor.
