House of the Dragon
In the beginning of the prequel series, the Targaryen dynasty has more than 15 dragons under their control and is at the height of its strength. These pinnacles are the beginning of the end for most civilizations, both actual and imaginary. Almost 193 years before the events of Game of Thrones, when King Viserys Targaryen defies a century of custom by making his daughter Rhaenyra heir to the Iron Throne, the Targaryen family begins its long, steady decline. In contrast, when Viserys eventually has a son, the court is startled that Rhaenyra continues to be treated as his heir, sowing the seeds of conflict across the kingdom.
