This is interesting because Rhaenys and Corlys have two children - Laena, and her brother Laenor. Those bloodlines meld and go into another sigil, which may represent Laena Velaryon. There’s another sigil on the floor in front of it which is most likely Rhaenys Targaryen, the Queen Who Never Was note that the blood flowing out of her sigil is thicker, because it is the blood of the dragon. They’re so far back that it’s hard to make out details, but our best guess is that the biggest, teal sigil on the wall represents Corlys Velaryon. We then see a very brief moment where the camera focuses on a trio of sigils in the background.

The account put together a great video that matches up each character and historical figure to their corresponding sigil in the opening. Maegor the Cruel, for instance, doesn’t show up in the opening credits, perhaps because he usurped the throne from his older half brother Aenys I’s family and his lineage didn’t continue to rule afterward. The Targaryens had different branches in their family, not all of whom are represented here. In a nutshell, the opening is showing the progression of the Targaryen dynasty’s bloodline specifically, it’s showing us how the bloodline from Old Valyria flows from one ruler to the next, right down until it gets to Rhaenyra Targaryen.

Thrones‘ opening was famous not just for how cool it looked, but for how practical and informative it was, zooming around the map to show us which locales we’d see in the episode, what major Houses were in control of them, and more. It’s a hard act to follow.įar more confusing are the visuals. For my part, as much as I kind of wish HBO had made a whole new theme for this show as opposed to trying to aurally trick viewers into thinking they’re still watching Game of Thrones, I can also understand why they chose that music. The new one uses the same iconic theme song from Game of Thrones and takes many stylistic cues from the original visuals.
