Nonetheless, it seems to be identical to common hearth, and all of the dragons within the collection to date have it like this. Tessarion, nevertheless, is the one dragon to breathe blue hearth in Westeros.

As such, it was very troublesome for him to have any probability of changing into inheritor to the Iron Throne, since there have been not less than three folks in entrance of him – Rhaenyra herself, Aegon (Tom Glynn-Carney), and Aemond (Ewan Mitchell). So he was despatched to foster in Oldtown. There, he was a squire and cupbearer for Alicent’s cousin and the top of Home Hightower, Lord Ormund Hightower.

In Fireplace & Blood, Daeron nonetheless frolicked in King’s Touchdown as a baby and bonded with Tessarion when he was six years outdated. He could not journey the dragon till she grew older and greater, however the bond was established, so she was taken with him to Oldtown. On this season’s Episode 7, “The Red Sowing,” it is lastly mentioned that Tessarion has taken to wing, shortly earlier than Aemond sees Silverwing flying over King’s Touchdown with Ulf the White on her again. In response to Lord Jasper Wylde (Paul Kennedy), the Grasp of Legal guidelines within the Inexperienced Council, the military of Lord Ormund Hightower is on its solution to King’s Touchdown, with Daeron and Tessarion having lastly joined them.

Within the e-book Fireplace & Blood, Daeron and Tessarion have some feats of bravery of their very own earlier than becoming a member of in the principle fights of the Dance of Dragons.

This earns Daeron his nickname, “Daeron the Daring,” by Lord Ormund.

After this, their method is obvious till Tumbleton, since nobody needs to face a dragon in battle. If Home of the Dragon is to faithfully followFireplace & Blood, although, Daeron and Tessarion might discover some bother going previous Tumbleton, because the market city is the positioning of a collection of main battles within the warfare, and plenty of dragons are concerned.
