“History does not remember blood. It remembers names,” are the punching words uttered at the end of the newly released trailer for HBO’s House of the Dragon. The epic fantasy world of Westeros from author George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series, which was later adapted into Game of Thrones. Now, fans of Martin's storytelling have more lore to lose themselves in his fantastical world with the premiere of House of the Dragon on August 21; the TV adaptation of Martin’s Fire & Blood.

House of the Dragon is a prequel to the events that took place during the run of Game of Thrones around 200 centuries later, with a primary focus on the House Targaryen—the family to which everyone's favorite Mother of Dragons, Daenerys Targaryen, belonged. The once-powerful dynasty is infamous for its catastrophic downfall from greatness to obscurity, and the series will cover the events leading up to the collapse of the Targaryens.

Three Targaeryens are at the helm of the conflict for absolute rule in Westeros: reigning King Viserys I Targaryen, heir to the throne Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, and power-hungry Prince Daemon Targaryen; all played by Paddy Constantine, Emma D’Arcy, and Matt Smith, respectively. 

The show also promises other familiar names and characters whose descendants were known and loved on Game of Thrones: the Hightowers, the Baratheons, the Starks, and of course, fearsome dragons.
