Tessarion Is a Unique Dragon in the ‘Game of Thrones’ Franchise

What we see of Tessarion in the season finale is not greater than what was already proven in the promo for the episode. She simply exhibits up briefly, as an omen of all the unhealthy issues there are forward for the battle, as the military of House Hightower marches from Oldtown in direction of King’s Landing. Still, it is sufficient to notice a couple of issues about her. She might not seem like a lot, however she is definitely a novel dragon, not solely in House of the Dragon, however in the complete Game of Thrones franchise. At this level in the story, she remains to be younger, therefore her smaller dimensions, however she has some traits and traits that basically make her stand out.

The Blacks have simply bolstered their ranks by including three dragons to their fold: Hugh Hammer’s (Kieran Bew) Vermithor, Ulf the White’s (Tom Bennett) Silverwing, and Addam of Hull’s (Clinton Liberty) Seasmoke. However, it looks like it is the Greens who’ve the most lovely dragons in the battle (aside from Vhagar, of course). Tessarion is probably the most lovely of all of them, in contrast solely to Helaena’s (Phia Saban) Dreamfyre. She has cobalt-blue scales, and her spikes and wings are the colour of copper, which earned her the nickname “the Blue Queen.” Right now, she remains to be younger and small, however ultimately, she is going to develop to three-thirds the measurement of Vermithor, which is already a lethal measurement for a flying beast that rains hearth from the sky.

Speaking of hearth, Tessarion can be distinctive in this side. Dragonfire is understood to be completely different from common hearth; it is stronger, hotter, and has some explosive qualities to it. Still, it appears to be like similar to common hearth, and all the dragons in the sequence thus far have it like this. Tessarion, nevertheless, is the solely dragon to breathe blue hearth in Westeros. Her flames are as lovely as her scales and make for a phenomenal show of lethal energy as a result of it is simply as unhealthy as common dragonfire. In Game of Thrones, after Viserion is resurrected by the Night King (Vladimir Furdik), he additionally breathes blue hearth, however for various causes. Viserion by no means actually comes again to life, and his blue hearth is proof that the creature is now zombified, and never the similar dragon that was as soon as Daenerys Targaryen’s (Emilia Clarke) baby. Tessarion’s flames, on the different hand, are naturally blue.

Why Hasn’t Tessarion Shown up Until Now in ‘House of the Dragon’?

Prince Daeron Targaryen is the fourth and youngest baby of King Viserys (Paddy Considine) and Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke). As such, it was very tough for him to have any probability of changing into inheritor to the Iron Throne, since there have been not less than three folks in entrance of him – Rhaenyra herself, Aegon (Tom Glynn-Carney), and Aemond (Ewan Mitchell). So he was despatched to foster in Oldtown. There, he was a squire and cupbearer for Alicent’s cousin and the head of House Hightower, Lord Ormund Hightower.

In Fire & Blood, Daeron nonetheless frolicked in King’s Landing as a baby and bonded with Tessarion when he was six years outdated. He could not journey the dragon till she grew older and greater, however the bond was established, so she was taken with him to Oldtown. In this season’s Episode 7, “The Red Sowing,” it is lastly mentioned that Tessarion has taken to wing, shortly earlier than Aemond sees Silverwing flying over King’s Landing with Ulf the White on her again. According to Lord Jasper Wylde (Paul Kennedy), the Master of Laws in the Green Council, the military of Lord Ormund Hightower is on its option to King’s Landing, with Daeron and Tessarion having lastly joined them.

Daeron and Tessarion Will Play Key Roles for the Greens in Season 3

While there’s nonetheless no casting information for Season 3 of House of the Dragon, it is anticipated that Daeron will lastly present up, and, with him, Tessarion, too. He is understood to be a good-looking and well mannered younger man — a primary in his department of the household — and the rider’s traits are often taken by their dragon, too. Young and light-weight, Tessarion is alleged to be quick and nimble when flying, which can pose a bonus when the time comes for her to affix in battle.

In the ebook Fire & Blood, Daeron and Tessarion have some feats of bravery of their very own earlier than becoming a member of in the essential fights of the Dance of Dragons. As quickly as the two of them meet up with the Hightower host, they’re ambushed by a military of House Beesbury on the means, who’re livid with the Greens since Ser Criston Cole (Fabien Frankel) killed Lord Lyman Beesbury (Bill Patterson). This can be half of Lord Jasper’s report back to Aemond in “The Red Sowing.” The Hightowers are shedding and about to be defeated by the Beesburys till Daeron exhibits up on Tessarion’s again in the nick of time, burning the enemy troops. This earns Daeron his nickname, “Daeron the Daring,” by Lord Ormund.

After this, their means is evident till Tumbleton, since nobody needs to face a dragon in battle. If House of the Dragon is to faithfully comply withFire & Blood, although, Daeron and Tessarion might discover some bother going previous Tumbleton, as the market city is the web site of a sequence of main battles in the battle, and lots of dragons are concerned. Hopefully, although, we get to see the Blue Queen in all her blue-flamed glory.
