The story of the Targaryen dynasty’s bloodiest war of succession picks up just after the events of Season 2, which left Team Black and Team Green on the verge of all-out war.
Rhaenyra leads the forces of Team Black. Her claim to the throne is strongest, since her father King Viserys, publicly proclaimed her his heir at the start of Season 1. This succession was muddied thanks to the meddling of the King’s Hand, Otto Hightower, and the king’s own mumbled words on his deathbed to his wife, Alicent. Delirious, he murmurs something about “Aegon” and she believes he’s telling her that their son, Aegon, should be king. In fact, his words are about the prophecy of the Song of Ice and Fire. The damage is done, however, and the Greens seize power.
