MOVIE NEWS – House of the Dragon has just revealed an essential moment regarding Game of Thrones Daenerys Targaryen…

The second season of House of the Dragon is already in full swing. The showrunners don’t hold back with “Easter eggs,” which, in this case, are literal eggs. Yes, the dragon eggs we saw in episode 3 have been confirmed to be the three dragon eggs of Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke), the “Mother of Dragons” during Game of Thrones. In this episode, Rhaenrya makes the difficult decision to send her three youngest sons away after she was assassinated in episode 2. He entrusts Joffrey, Aegon and Viserys to the care of Rhaena (Phoebe Campbell), who head to the Vale to ensure their survival should the impending war weaken House Targaryen. Rhaenyra’s sacrifice establishes the legacy of House Targaryen, leading to Daenarys’ reign.

Four eggs were sent to Pentos along with Rhaena and the children, which ties in with Daenerys being shown three of the four eggs on Pentos in Game of Thrones.

The three eggs are gold, green and black, representing Viserion, Rhaegal and Drogon waiting for their mother. The episode’s director, Geeta Vasant Patel, confirmed to Mashable that the eggs are Daenary’s.

“Those are Daenarys’ eggs,” Patel confirmed to Mashable. “All of us who work on this show are big Game of Thrones fans, so it was fascinating to shoot that scene.”

Dreamfyre or Syrax: Who laid the eggs?

Patel confirmed that the dragon eggs seen in episode three belong to Daenerys. This differs from what we read in George R.R. Martin’s book Fire and Blood. In the book, Martin states that the eggs were brought to Essos during the reign of Jaehaerys I, long before the start of the Dance of Dragons. A noblewoman named Elissa Farman was responsible for transporting these eggs to Essos. Elissa was a sailor and the lover of Rhaena Targaryen, daughter of Aenys I and Alyssa Velaryon.

The final destination of these eggs was due to Rhaena and Elissa’s relationship going sour. Elissa stole the eggs from Dragonstone and then sold them to the Sea Lord of Braavos in exchange for gold.

It is important to note that there is some speculation that Rhaena’s dragon Dreamfyre (Halaena’s dragon in House of the Dragon) is the one who laid the three eggs.

The TV series adapts this part of the story differently. As the Black Queen entrusts her three youngest sons to her niece/stepdaughter, she sends Rhaena to the Vale to gain support for her claim to the Iron Throne and sends two young dragons and four dragon eggs to keep her word to Lady Jane Arryn. This episode confirms that Syrax is the one who laid the eggs. This moment is already foreshadowed in the first season, when Daemon discovers that Syrax has laid three eggs.

What happens to the fourth egg in Game of Thrones?

Patel confirms the theory that the eggs are Daenarys’ children, solidifying their fate. But the fourth egg remains a mystery. One possible theory is that the fourth egg could hatch after the novel’s events and become Morning, Rhaena’s dragon. Since the series made this change from the book, there are several possibilities regarding the fate of the eggs and how they got to Essos from the Vale.

The showrunners could explore how the eggs were passed down through the generations to eventually be entrusted to Daenarys’ care and possibly adjust the story so that the eggs were later stolen, as read in the novel.

This could also be related to the war and the Greens discovering that Rhaenyra has more dragons than they do. The Greens plan to find the eggs and either take them to help their cause or destroy them and the Targaryen legacy with them. As the story progresses, these new factors may become key players, and questions may be answered in season three.
