House of the Dragon
The Targaryen dynasty is at the pinnacle of its power in the prequel series, with more than 15 dragons under their control. Most empires, real or imagined, plummet from such heights. The Targaryens' slow fall begins nearly 193 years before the events of Game of Thrones, when King Viserys Targaryen defies a century of tradition by naming his daughter Rhaenyra heir to the Iron Throne. When Viserys later fathers a son, the court is shocked when Rhaenyra retains her position as his heir, sowing seeds of division throughout the realm.
