Lord of Winterfell Rickard Stark makes an appearance in the latest House of the Dragon trailer. How does the direwolf fit into this dance of dragons?
This House of the Dragon trailer, and Lord Rickard Stark’s involvement in it, sets up a hugely important political event that will eventually lead to one of the most destructive wars in Westeros’s history. But for now the House of the Dragon trailer has given us Rickard Stark: feminist icon. Have you ever wondered why most of the dynasties in the Game of Thrones world operate under a primogeniture model of succession in which male descendents always take precedence over female? Both names pop up a lot throughout the history of House Stark and in fact the two “Rick” variations combined are likely the second most popular name in the family behind only “Brandon.” Rickard Stark was actually the name of Lord Eddard “Ned” Stark’s father. For starters, though his name could be heard as “Rickard” or “Rickon”, closed captioning on the trailer confirms that he is indeed called the former. And what does his presence mean for House of the Dragon? Thankfully, we have read Fire & Blood, George R.R. Martin’s Targaryen history novel that the HBO series is based on, so we can offer up some answers.

HBO has just released character posters of the House of the Dragon cast to get us [even more] hyped for the show. It’s a bit of an odd choice to tweet a screen cap rather than a set photo, but it gives us a tantalizing look at Rhaenyra standing over a map of Westeros while four figures (one of whom looks like Rhaenys; the other three I couldn’t make out) walk away.

Like many of Westeros’ best schemers, Otto also served as Hand of the King during the rule of Viserys. Viserys is an ailing king whose nearly 30 years of rule end in complete disaster thanks to his controversial choice of successor. Rhaenyra is also a dragonrider who rides Syrax. Rhaenyra is supported by her uncle and later husband, Daemon Targaryen, as well as her former mother-in-law, Rhaenys Velaryon. Though she is supposed to be next in line for the throne, not everyone will support her claim. The war was over succession of the throne, and the seeds were planted during the reign of King Viserys I Targaryen. Viserys named his eldest surviving child, Rhaenyra Targaryen, as his successor. However, shortly after his death, a council gave the throne to Aegon II Targaryen, the first child of Viserys’ current wife, Alicent Hightower, and the king’s eldest male heir.

We know the broad outlines of the story: it’s 200 years before Game of Thrones and the Targaryens are at the height of their power. They’re facing down Otto Hightower (Rhys Ifans), the Hand of the King and an enemy of Daemon’s at court. That’s easy to do because Daemon has a habit of acting out and flouting tradition, like when he gives a dragon egg to his unborn child with Mysaria; that might be what the groups are arguing about in these shots.

House of the Dragon will be released on HBO on August 21, 2022. The series itself will actually be a continuation of George R.R. Martin’s series Fire & Blood. While I expect to go into this show with reduced expectations, this trailer gave me hope that HBO can continue to deliver Game of Thrones magic on a grand scale. It can be appreciated how the series seems to take the time to show the backstory of some of these characters while establishing them in the present day of the story. We also get a fantastic look at King Viserys sitting on a much more book-accurate version of the Iron Throne, something that will make many fans happy. Three years after HBO’s divisive finale of Game of Thrones, the land of Westeros finally returns to us.
The star, from Ruthin, plays Ser Otto Hightower in the much-anticipated series.
The series, which premieres on Sunday, August 21, is a major initiative for HBO, which hopes to recapture the magic of Game of Thrones, which represented more than $1 billion in revenue during its run from 2011 to 2019. Writing on Twitter, one fan said: “Rhys Ifans gonna be playing a Hightower in the new game of thrones tv show, can’t wait to see that!” Unsurprisingly, the new trailer doesn't reveal too much information about House of the Dragon. The new series promises lots of combat, tyranny and of course, dragons. For Ifans, this isn’t his first foray into big franchises. With lots of violence, blood and gore shown in the trailer, House of the Dragon looks set to be just as horrifying as its predecessor.
