House of the Dragon Season 2 | EPISODE 6 NEW PROMO TRAILER | Max (HD)

House of the Dragon season 2 just teased two huge betrayals Rhaenyra will suffer as the Targaryen civil war continues to escalate. Up until Rhaenys’ death, Rhaenyra was trying to keep the Targaryen dragons out of the battlefield because she knew mutual destruction would start happening as soon as those beasts were brought into the conflict. However, following the battle at Rook’s Rest, it is now clear that the Dance of the Dragons will be fought in the sky too. This makes the dragonriders even more important for teams Black and Green.

Rhaenyra rules from Dragonstone, meaning she has more dragons available than Team Green. That said, the Blacks simply do not have enough dragonriders for all the dragons that they have available, which is a problem. Team Green may only have one suitable dragonrider after what happened to Aegon, yet Vhagar happens to be the most powerful creature in the world right now. To defeat Aemond and his ancient dragon while also fighting the war on other fronts, Rhaenyra will need more dragonriders.
