In the southern principality of Dorne, the warrior Ellaria Sand seeks vengeance against the Lannisters.
The previous year, "Arya" was the fastest-rising girl's name in the US after it had jumped in popularity from 711th to 413th place. Characters had committed the most war crimes during the first seven seasons of the show. In 2019, singer-songwriter Taylor Swift told Entertainment Weekly that several songs on her 2017 album Reputation were inspired by Game of Thrones characters and plots. "Khaleesi" became more popular as a name for baby girls in the United States.

Exterior scenes in Northern Ireland were filmed at Sandy Brae in the Mourne Mountains ; Castle Ward ; Saintfield Estates ; Tollymore Forest ; Cairncastle ; the Magheramorne quarry ; and Shane's Castle . Doune Castle in Stirling, Scotland, was also used in the original pilot episode for scenes at Winterfell. The producers initially considered filming the entire series in Scotland, but decided on Northern Ireland because of the availability of studio space and tax credits. This episode marks the introduction of Euron Greyjoy, Balon's younger brother and uncle to Theon and Yara.
However, the increase in tourism driven by the series—estimated to be responsible for half of its annual increase over many years—led to concerns about "over-tourism" and its mayor imposing limits on tourist numbers in the city. Following the series finale, HBO announced in April 2019 a new exhibition and tourist attraction containing show props and set pieces. The attraction, titled Game of Thrones Studio Tour, will be located at former show filming location Linen Mill Studios outside Belfast.

The egg given to Tytos at the start of his conquest had finally hatched and in the four years had grown to a full adult. With the might of his generals and a dragon backing him, New Ghis surrendered ten days after the siege began. Brienne of Tarth's storyline was condensed in the TV series with the North/Bolton subplot, and on top of this she never actually ran into Arya Stark as she was leaving the Vale with the Hound, nor has she ever met Sansa. Thus in the novels, Brienne doesn't know that Arya is still alive, and even if she did know she isn't in a position to tell Sansa. In the fifth season, her role is merged with that of Mance Rayder, whose execution was actually faked by Melisandre so Jon could send him to rescue "Arya" from Ramsay , and in the sixth, with that of Stannis Baratheon, who Theon and Jeyne run into after escaping from Winterfell.
Euron then says that Balon is too old to rule and that he's been ruling long enough and it's someone else's turn. Balon tells Euron that he isn't a true Ironborn because he lost his wits during a thunderstorm and tries to stab him, but Euron throws him off the rope bridge to his death. The House of the Dragon series premiere has broken viewership records with nearly 10 million viewers tuning in to the episode on HBO and HBO Max in the US alone. The second season of House of the Dragon is officially in pre-production as of August 26, 2022.
House of The Dragon production designer and make-up supervisor discuss what goes into the making of Westeros
Tyrion recalls being told as a child by his father that the last dragon died over a century ago. The last Targaryen dragon died about 150 years before the TV series, and most died during the Dance of the Dragons 170 years ago. Of course, Tyrion was told this around 25 years ago when he was a child, and the last dragon died out around 125 or so years before, so "a century" ago was simply rounding down at the time. Given that the Children were previously played by small child actors, but the characters themselves aren't supposed to age like children, the character Leaf has understandably been recast, and is now played by Kae Alexander. Again raising the issue that the Children aren't really any human ethnicity, original actress Octavia Alexandru is Romanian, but Kae Alexander is in fact Japanese. Young Benjen's fearful remark about sparring with young Hodor because he's huge - "he's got giant's blood!" - repeats an earlier comment Osha made back in Season 1 jokingly wondering if Hodor is so large because he has some giant's blood in his ancestry.
Illegal downloads increased to about seven million in the first quarter of 2015, up 45 percent from 2014. An unnamed episode was downloaded about 4.28 million times through public BitTorrent trackers in 2012, roughly equal to its number of broadcast viewers. Piracy rates were particularly high in Australia prompting the US Ambassador to Australia, Jeff Bleich, to issue a statement in 2013 condemning the practice there.
Of course, given that Balon and Yara are outright shouting at each other about this, it is possible they are just speaking loosely about the fine details in their anger. With Balon's death, all three kings, against whom Stannis performed the leech ritual in Season 3's "Second Sons", are now dead.It's possible that the TV show intentionally placed Balon's death in this episode because Melisandre successfully resurrects Jon Snow at the end. Davos previously raised the criticism that even if the first two deaths were influenced by Melisandre, her magic didn't fully work because it didn't kill all three. After Stannis's defeat, Melisandre doubts her own faith and powers - but Balon's death finally matching up with her blood ritual apparently hints that her attempt to revive Jon will work.It is unknown whether the leech ritual had anything to do with the deaths of Robb, Joffrey and Balon.
Studies showed that the series had an overall positive economic impacts for both Northern Ireland and Dubrovnik. Despite the positive economic results, some academics note the impact and damage from Game of Thrones–related tourist activities could have on historical sites and other locations of cultural value. She says that she watched from the castle tower during the Siege of Pyke as enemy armies broke in, and she lost two of her brothers that day, and Balon says he lost three sons, because after Theon was taken as a ward he considered the boy dead to him. The two older Greyjoy brothers who died in that war were Rodrik Greyjoy and Maron Greyjoy - but actually, in both the books and supplementary materials for the TV series, it is stated that while both of them died in the war, both of them didn't die "that day" during the Siege of Pyke. Maron died in the Siege of Pyke, but Rodrik died earlier in the war at the Battle of Seagard.
This episode reveals that Hodor's real name is actually "Wylis", and he used to be able to speak normally. "Hodor" is just a word he says, and because it is the only thing he can say it eventually stuck as a nickname.In the novels, Hodor's real name is actually "Walder", not Wylis. The TV series probably changed this to remove any confusion with Walder Frey - for the same reason Asha's name was changed to Yara, and Robert Arryn's first name was changed to Robin.
The city is located on the northeast coast at the mouth of the Skahazadhan. By the old Ghiscari coastal road, Yunkai is somewhat more than fifty leagues to the south, and Astapor another hundred more; In total, the distance between Meereen and Astapor is between a hundred-and-fifty and two hundred leagues. Both Jaime and Kevan in the books, who watch how Cersei treats Tommen and recall what a monster Joffrey was, think that Cersei is unfit to be a mother. Kevan tells her that to her face "From what I saw of Joffrey, you are as unfit a mother as you are a ruler". Daenerys Targaryen, captive among the Dothraki, does not appear though the characters she left behind in Meereen do.
