A dragon keeper series#
The television series House of the Dragon has a considerably different interpretation of the Dragonkeepers, depicting them as more of a monastic-like order with shaved heads and light clothing. While fleeing the Red Keep with Dontos Hollard, Sansa Stark passes through a gallery and sees the empty suits of armor with scales cresting down the back. The armor is of black steel with dragon scales on the helms' crests, so they might have been armor of the Dragonkeepers or other House Targaryen guards. Lord Eddard Stark sees empty suits of armor in a deserted corridor of the Red Keep. Morning, the dragon of Lady Rhaena Targaryen, made her lair in the Dragonpit after the civil war, but it is as yet unknown if the surviving Dragonkeepers continued their duties. The dragons Tyraxes, Shrykos, Morghul, and Dreamfyre died fighting the mob, and the dome of the Dragonpit collapsed. The greatly-outnumbered Dragonkeepers fought the Shepherd-led mob but were slaughtered when the rabble broke through. ĭuring the Dance of the Dragons, less than fifty Dragonkeepers stood guard when the Storming of the Dragonpit began. Once, when Princess Viserra Targaryen brought six boys into the Dragonpit, promising her maidenhead to whoever would put his head in a dragon's mouth, the Dragonkeepers arrived in time to put an end to it. In 84 AC, the Dragonkeepers caught Princess Saera Targaryen trying to enter the Dragonpit. In the end they succeeded, as Alyssa claimed the dragon Meleys. Īccording to the accounts of the Dragonkeepers, when Princess Alyssa Targaryen came to claim a dragon in the Dragonpit in 75 AC, they had to convince her not to claim Balerion, telling the princess the dragon was "old and slow" and suggesting she would rather have a swifter mount. The guards gave the dragon Caraxes his nickname of the Blood Wyrm.
The Dragonkeepers at the Dragonpit of King's Landing knew the dragons there better than anyone else. After Daenerys died several hours later, Jaehaerys flew to Dragonstone upon Vermithor to inform them that it was no longer necessary. In 60 AC, as Princess Daenerys Targaryen was stricken by the Shivers, King Jaehaerys ordered a raven sent to the Dragonkeepers on Dragonstone, ordering them to bring a hatchling to King's Landing at once. Historyįollowing Princess Aerea Targaryen's taking of Balerion and her death after she returned with the dragon to Westeros, King Jaehaerys I Targaryen founded the Dragonkeepers in 56 AC to prevent another such theft. Their helms were crested by a row of dragon scales that continued down their backs, diminishing downwards. The guards wielded swords and wore suits of gleaming black armor. The Dragonkeepers numbered seventy-seven men tasked with guarding dragons day and night wherever they might lair.
