The Season 3 premiere of 'House of the Dragon' thrusts viewers back into the escalating war between Rhaenyra Targaryen's 'Blacks' and the 'Greens,' loyal to King Aegon II. The episode immediately depicts the grim reality of this conflict, with Rhaenyra suffering the tragic loss of her eldest son, Jace.
During the devastating Battle of the Gullet, both naval and aerial forces endured heavy losses. Jace, riding his dragon Vermax, was caught in the crossfire. After Vermax was struck by a ballista bolt, Jace was forced to abandon his mount. Tragically, as he surfaced from the water, he was killed by multiple arrows from a nearby ship.
Adding to the mayhem, a rogue dragon named Sheepstealer, now bonded with Rhaena, unexpectedly attacked allied dragons, causing them to flee. This strategic setback and the death of Jace leave Rhaenyra's forces weakened as they continue their fight for control of Westeros.
