The prequel of "Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" that everyone is looking forward to is " Dragon Family " on the HBO platform today. Since the drama has a dragon, it is obviously focused on Targaryen family . In fact, the family characteristics of the prequel are indeed able to control the flying dragon, and it also allows each generation of prince to sit on the throne and rule multiple kingdoms. The prequel is also adapted from the novel George R.R. Martin . The main characters, King Targaryen Viserys I, Princess Rhaenyra, who grew up riding a dragon, were all mentioned by the protagonists in "Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones", especially the latter is the idol of Arya, one of the heroines.
Five key kingdoms in "Dragon Prequel"
Although there are some correlations between the two series, the time difference is nearly 200 years ago, the competitive situation of each family dynasty was also different. When "Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" was first aired, many viewers had a lot of views because the main characters in the series were distributed in different family kingdoms and had a mixed relationship. At the beginning, it was really difficult to get into the situation. Therefore, this time we specially sorted out the relationship between the main families and characters in this series, so that you can understand and enjoy it at once!
Valerion VELARYON family
According to the American Entertainment Weekly, this family is different from the version in the novel. The Valayyon people in the book are described as having their eyes closed and their hair and skin are very white, but the producers of the film show change this appearance setting to make it more in line with the trend of diversity in the skin tones needed by contemporary films.
The family in the book is very old and is also a dragon rider. However, in "The Dragon Clan Prequel", they became sea adventurers, helping the Targaryen family to conquer the world, control the most powerful Westeros continent among the four continents of the world in the "Song of Ice and Fire" series by George R.R. Martin, and established the entire empire (its setting is the medieval European continent). The two families are also the most powerful in the empire.
As for the lord, the lord is Corlys Velaryon, according to the information provided by the production unit, he is actually called the Sea Snake, and will be an important character in the first part of the film. His ancestors and the Targaryen family have in-laws and have the most powerful naval fleet in history in the Game of Thrones universe. The family is richer than Targaryen. Important members of the two also have intermarriage relationships, just like the tradition of European princes and nobles and the model of power maintenance.
TARGARYENS family
Afore mentioned that the core axis of the prequel is revolving around this family, that is, the dragon clan. The Targaryen family is the oldest and powerful kingdom in the universe of "Song of Ice and Fire". It is also the leader of the empire. Because of controlling many powerful flying dragons, no other small country dares to challenge, let alone the strong support of the Valerion Velaryon family.
King Viserys I gave birth to an only daughter with the first queen and grew up riding a dragon. She will later become the heir to the empire and become the first queen. After her uncle failed to compete for the throne, he also tried his best to assist her.
Tower HIGHTOWERS family
The Viserys mentioned earlier later became the first life. The second wife Alicent Hightower he received was originally a personal maid in the palace and supported by the prime minister. As a result, she was a cunning and dark snake scorpion queen. She always wanted her biological son Aegon II to replace her stepdaughter and inherit the status of the empire heir jointly promoted by the seven kingdoms. Many open and secret struggles almost caused the collapse of Targaryen dynasty . This is how it is performed in the novel. This series simplifies the characters in it, strengthens the struggle for power, cuts, kills and kills, and is an important main axis of the plot.
Alicent was born in the Gaota family, a kingdom with ancient and powerful history. She was the daughter of the kingdom minister. When her eldest son, whom she and Viserys had born in one lifetime, the evil Queen deliberately wanted to support her son as the heir to the empire, and Princess Rhaenyra was the biggest obstacle.
When it comes to Aegon II, the eldest son of Queen Alicent, fans of Iron Sense should remember that Jon Snow, the male lead of "Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones", was revealed in the seventh season. His original name was Aegon Targaryen, and his father was Prince Rhaegar Targaryen and the elder brother of Queen Dragon. Therefore, how this family declined is definitely a major selling point for the prequel. .
Lannister LANNISTER Family
This is the main storyline of the plot we saw in Game of Thrones, the Lannister family. They have huge army and huge wealth, and their power has reached its peak, but in the prequel, they are basically just starting to make a fortune. In order to enhance the country's power, Jason Lannister, the young lord of the family, tried to marry Princess Rhaenyra, but failed. His twin brother was a large officer of the Viserys family fleet. Later, he decided to support Aegon II's successor. This game of chess seems to be accurate, so he can dominate the empire in the later Game of Thrones.
Stark STARK family
This family should be the most ill-fated clan in "Game of Thrones". Although the weakest son, who ended up doing nothing, sat on the Iron Throne without doing anything, Sansa also became the Queen of the North. In the prequel, Stark family is also in the snowy Winterfell city, and is far away from the troubles between countries. Lord Cregan Stark is such a representative figure, but when Princess Rhaenyra sent her son to form an alliance in danger, the family was shaken and involved in the war. It seems that the Lannister family finally got into the fight, which led to the end of "Game of Thrones".
