House of the Dragon
With more than 15 dragons under their control, the Targaryen dynasty is at the height of its strength in the prequel series. From such heights, the majority of empires—both actual and imagined—fall. When King Viserys Targaryen defies a century of custom by designating his daughter Rhaenyra as the successor to the Iron Throne, the Targaryens' long descent begins about 193 years before the events of Game of Thrones. However, the court is startled when Rhaenyra maintains her status as his heir when Viserys subsequently bears a boy, and discord spreads throughout the realm as a result.
