Polygon breaks down the key characters and stakes for the upcoming Battle of the Gullet in House of the Dragon season 3.
House of the Dragon season 2 left viewers wanting more action, but showrunner Ryan Condal is quickly remedying that in season 3. Much of the upcoming premiere focuses on the Battle of the Gullet, an epic conflict where the Triarchy pirate fleet attacks the navy that Rhaenyra Targaryen has used to blockade King's Landing. Fans following the saga across streaming and social media discussions know this fight brings massive implications for Rhaenyra's claim to the Iron Throne. Since it has been two years since the conflict was first set up, keeping track of the massive roster of combatants can be tough.
Key characters stepping into the fray include Jace, Rhaenyra's eldest son and heir who rides the dragon Vermax, alongside Baela Targaryen, who rides Moondancer and is betrothed to Jace. Meanwhile, Rhaena Targaryen remains on her own dangerous path as she attempts to tame the wild dragon Sheepstealer rather than hiding safely in the Vale. On the naval side, Corlys Velaryon leads the royal fleet as Hand of the Queen, fighting alongside his skilled sailor son Alyn of Hull on the flagship.
Opposition comes from the strategic maneuvers of Tyland Lannister, who secured the backing of the Triarchy fleet led by Admiral Sharako. As digital communities break down every trailer and piece of casting news, understanding these shifting alliances and dragon bonds is essential before the season premieres. Polygon recently published a complete character breakdown for the upcoming conflict, detailing everything viewers need to know about the combatants and what is at stake.
