Westeros Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 HBO Max has given fans a pleasant surprise with a first look at House of the Dragon, in the form of a Matt Smith-narrated teaser showing a number of scenes and characters from the show, as well as confirming several significant new cast members. See the video below, and the press release about new cast following that. Blackfyre looks great, we have to say. So, too, does Daemon Targaryen’s tournament armor with the dragon wings on the helm (an idea we used on our game, Blood of Dragons, for Aemon the Dragonknight, grandson of Prince Daemon). And, perhaps the biggest surprise at all, a revised vision of the Iron Throne and its dais to try and bring it more in line with George R.R. Martin’s actual vision of as a monstrous, twisted construction. There’s even a tourney scene featuring Criston Cole (distinguishable by his coat of arms, ten black pellets on red, on his shield) and a knight of House Tarly (possibly the future Lord Alan Tarly, who sides with the blacks?), though the array of banners there are rather curious: Lannister and what looks like Lefford, perhaps Corbray… but also Bolton, Stark, and what might be a take on Manderly (the latter at a southron tourney seems okay to us… but the Boltons and Starks would be incredibly unlikely to appear at a tourney in what appears to be the Reach.) We plan to screen cap and go in more detail at some of the images and scenes later this evening, for those curious.

DisneyDoc2425 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 GRRM reported in his "Not a Blog" yesterday that he has seen a rough cut of the first episode, so at least we are at that stage. He described it as "it's dark, it's powerful, and visceral - the way I like my epic fantasy". So at least we are moving along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
