Welcome to watch Mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 Game of Thrones questions answered in the House of the Dragon.

Look at me, your king demands an answer for this list.

We're looking at lingering mysteries from game of Thrones that were followed up on in its prequel series will be sticking to the shows.

So if a question was already answered in the books, it still qualifies here.

Also, there will be major spoilers ahead.

Are there any other Game of Thrones questions you need answers to share your thoughts in the comments.

Number 10 were the Tar Gary ins The only house to escape the doom.

Aren't you afraid of the Doom?

No, the pirates on we hear about the Doom of Valeria several times in game of Thrones 400 years before the show takes place, catastrophic volcanic eruptions destroyed Valeria.

Most citizens and dragons perished.

But the Tar Gary in's new to flee.

Thanks to one of them having a prophetic dream we assumed while watching the original series that they were the only house to do so, but that's not the case.

House Valerie ins origins reach back to old Valeria more ancient even than House to Gary in according to some texts, House of the Dragon features the Val Arians, another family of old Valeria that fled alongside them.

Although the Deloreans are mentioned in a Song of Ice and fire, they only play a small role as a house that support Stannis Baratheon.

So they were left out of the adaptation.

They'll bend the knee or I'll destroy them.

Number nine.

Why did Aegon conquer Western?

Many decisions on game of Thrones are made out of a desire for power.

We're told that Aegon Targaryen who conquered Westeros and became the first ruler of the seven kingdoms, did so because he wanted to forgive me, Khaleesi.

But your ancestor, Aegon, the conqueror, didn't see six of the kingdoms because they were his right.

He had no right to them.

He sees them because he could and because he had dragons.

Having a few dragons makes things easier.

Yeah, that tracks However, while that's what Westerosi history tells us.

House of the Dragon provides a different answer histories.

They tell us that even looked across the Blackwater from Dragon Stone saw a rich land right for the capture.

But ambition alone is not what drove him to conquest.

It was a dream.

Egan had a vision of the white walkers and their long night.

It made him believe that Tar Gary ins and their dragons needed to be in power.

When the time came, he passed the prophecy down to his heir, a tradition that is still in place during House of the Dragon.

This secret, it's been passed from king to wear since it comes time.

Now you must promise to carry it and protected.

Number eight who was Rainier Atar Gary in.

Welcome back.

Princess trust your right was pleasant.

Try not to look to relieve, sir.

We'd like to go ahead and issue an extra spoiler warning for this one When near a Tar Gary in and her family Civil War are mentioned a couple of times in game of Thrones.

In a spoiler filled scene in season three, Joffrey gives marjorie a history on the family and discusses Rainier's fate.

Would you like to see where the last car Gary ins are buried?

Are you sure Lady marjorie doesn't find all this a bit McCobb?

No, it's quite all right, your grace.

I'd love to see their tombs.

Really?

The Dance of the dragons is mentioned again in season five by Shereen Baratheon.

What's it about?

It's the story of the fight between Targaryen and her half by the Reagan for control of the seven kingdoms.

Both of them thought they belonged on the iron throne.

When people started declaring for one of them or the other, they're fight divided the kingdoms into However, we never got any information on the character herself or why she felt entitled to a throne that was traditionally held by men, House of the Dragon finally gives insight into their actions, showing that she had every right to the royal seat.

Princess room era.

I'm Queen Romero now and you all are traitors to the realm.

Number seven is Heron Hall really cursed heron Hall is an incredibly dreary place introduced in season two of Game of Thrones.

What kind of fire melts stone.

Jack on fire during Aegon's conquest, the future king roasted the castle with his dragon cooking.

The lords who held it after they refused to yield from that day on Heron Hall was said to be cursed as multiple families who held it met nasty fates.

Built in hubris by Heron the blacks.

A monument to his own greatness.

Blood mixed into the mortar.

It is said to be a cursed place despite its appearance and legacy.

House of the dragon shows it isn't cursed at all or at least it probably isn't.

Larry's strong uses the castle's reputation to his advantage, causing a fire that kills his brother and father.

Who knows what other atrocities have been committed under the guise of the curse.

I feel certain he will reward me when the time is right.

Number six, how many dragons did the Tar Gary Inns have at their height and we thought three was plenty.

Uh prior to the Dance of dragons, it said, the Tar Gary ins were at the height of their power with the largest number of dragons Westeros had ever seen.

For anyone curious as to how many dragons that was exactly Damon spells it out.

In the season one finale, we have Cyr ax, Carax ease Melies.

Your sons have their max Iraq's and tire axes.

Dancer Damon.

None of our dragons have been to war.

There are also unclaimed dragons.

The Blacks hold 13, including some who are riderless while the greens only hold four.

Unfortunately, these numbers have already begun to decrease.

Arax perishes at the end of the episode along with loose areas when vaguer chomps them out of the sky.

Damon also says they have 20 eggs incubating on dragon stone though it's anyone's guess as to when and if those will hatch, half of them never.

Do you know what hatch?

Number five, what happened in esos following the doom?

Although the doom and Aegon's conquest are spoken of in Game of Thrones, there's a period in between that isn't fire and blood.

The Tar Gary ins didn't simply go from fleeing the destruction of their home to conquering Westeros.

Following the fall of malaria, there was a period of strife and esos known as the century of blood.

It concerned the conflicts of Valerius former colonies, which would become the continent's free cities.

As seen in game of Thrones, I've heard Marine has become a free city, You might run into trouble if you try to fight slaves in the fighting pits.

Now, if you were to fight freed men, who'd be paid a wage as house of the dragon tells us, Valenti's attempted to become the ruling city before he'd earned the title of conqueror Aegon flu gallery in the Black dread to esos to turn the tides against the volunteer.

A toast to Aegon.

The conqueror.

Your exalted forebear join our cause against vigilantes in a century of blood on the great dragon valerian.

He flew to our aid in lease and burned a fleet of enemy ships thus turning the tide.

Number four.

How much control did the Tar Gary Inns have over dragons In game of Thrones?

Rogan is shown to be a bit temperamental before Danny becomes his rider.

Afterwards the to act as one perpetuating the belief that Tar Gary ins were masters over the beasts.

How sent the dragon however, calls that into question.

The idea that we control the dragons is an illusion.

There are power men should never have trifled with believes their sway over the dragons to only be an illusion.

He's proven right in the finale when neither lucy nor Raymond can gain control over their mouths.

No, this could vary from rider to rider.

Dragons often sense what their rider is feeling.

For example, Damon seems to have an incredibly strong connection with karaoke sees, but saying the Tar Gary ins could outright control them simply isn't true.

Number three, where did the dagger come from?

All valerian steel weapons are rare, but one in particular ended up playing a much bigger role than anyone could have guessed you're not supposed to be here.

No 1's supposed to be, It's a mercy.

He's dead already.

First used in an assassination attempt on bran Stark's life.

This dagger would go on to be used by his sister Aria.

To vanquish the night king.

Mhm due to its role and to it not being linked to any particular family.

We wondered about the history of the stagger once belonged to Aegon.

The conqueror Roseanna asked before that and before that it is difficult to know.

It originally belonged to an R.

Tard Gary in the dragon lord who fled Valeria with his family.

More importantly, it passed to Egan who had it in scripted with his prophecy that would only show up in fire.

In addition to the prophecy, the Tar Gary ins past the dagger down from air to air from my blood come the prince that was promised and his will be the song of Ice and Fire.

Number two, what started the Tar Gary in civil war.

Dance of Dragons?

Why is that a dance?

It's just what they call it make much sense.

I think it's poetic as we all know.

The Tar Gary in Civil war or Dance of Dragons was a war of succession between Rain era and her younger half brother, Aegon the second knowing it was a war of succession meant that king V series wouldn't be making it out of the first season alive, but things weren't that simple name.

An era to Gary in Princess of Dragon stone.

An heir to the iron throne in House of the dragon Green era is all set to inherit the throne until the misunderstanding between visitors and Allison.

Even when the greens lead a coup and crown Egan Mira wants to avoid war and bloodshed at all costs.

Our son.

His dream.

The sacrifice.

Unfortunately the death of her son loose eras at the hands or dragon of Almond seems like the catalyst for a lot more people dying before we continue.

It's written that a warrior will draw a burning sword from the fire and that sword shall be light bringing the prophecy of the prince that was promised was a major factor in game of Thrones.

First told to us by Mela Sandra, it told of a mythical warrior born to stop an impending threat to the living world.

However, we now know that this prophecy was not just something born from Alexandra's religion.

When this great winter comes, all of Westeros must stand against it.

And if the world had managed to survive a Tar Gary in must be seated on the iron throne, A king or queen strong enough to unite the realm against the cold and the dark Egan had a similar vision and knew that the prince or princess would be born from his line.

The prophecy survived by word of mouth.

While the Tar Gary ins passed it down from air to air.

The red priests and priestesses preached of it in esos, restore bone is the one who was promised from the fire she was reborn to remake the world.

While we don't know how long it's been part of Mala Sandra's religion, Aegon's own dream lends it more weight.

Promise me, Promise me.
