With the realm weakened from within, dangers arise on every side, as the Targaryens' enemies see their vulnerable state as a perfect opportunity to attack. Besides the continuing tensions with the Dornish to the south, the Blackfyres across the eastern sea are attempting to raise new armies in the Free Cities , and to turn lords in Westeros to their side who are upset at the difficulties the Targaryen reign is encountering.
To the west, the ironborn led by Dagon Greyjoy are seizing their best chance in generations to return to the Old Way, conducting brazen coastal raids from Bear Island in the North to the Arbor in the south. To the north the wildlings have been united by a new King-Beyond-the-Wall , Raymun Redbeard , and they are preparing to cross over the Wall and sweep through the lands to the south. Ser Duncan the Tall fights in a trial of seven. Into this backdrop steps Ser Duncan the Tall , a very large squire who grew up as an orphan in the slums of Flea Bottom in King's Landing.
After the hedge knight he is in service to dies while heading to a tournament, Dunk takes his gear and enters the tournament as a knight himself. Along the way he strikes up an odd friendship with a young boy who turns out to be Prince Aegon Targaryen, commonly known by his nickname "Egg", a grandson of King Daeron II. Later, however, he runs afoul of Aegon's sadistic and arrogant older brother, Prince Aerion Brighflame , after Aerion accosts a beautiful Dornish woman with whom Duncan becomes smitten.
The Tragedy at Summerhall , which claims the lives of Dunk and Egg. Martin has said that the novellas will include time-jumps so that they will ultimately cover the rest of the lives of the two main characters, stretching across a period of 50 years, until both of them die in the Tragedy at Summerhall. This will bridge the timeline between the two main narrative eras: Ser Barristan Selmy was knighted at the age of sixteen by King Aegon V after unhorsing Ser Duncan in a joust.
Tywin Lannister 's grandfather Gerold Lannister is a character in the early novellas, but young Tywin was a boy when Aegon V died. Prince Rhaegar Targaryen was also born the very same night as the Tragedy at Summerhall. On February 10, , George R. Martin confirmed that he had been in discussion with HBO over a possible adaptation of the Tales of Dunk and Egg short stories, though in what format TV movies, theatrical movie, or a spin-off TV series was not made clear.
The HBO production team from the Game of Thrones TV series has said that they dismiss out of hand the possibility of starting any prequel project before the main series if finished, given the massive amount of work involved on it. They physically cannot produce more than ten episodes on any Westeros-related project in a single year. While potential future prequel projects are being discussed, this is mostly legal negotiation at this point, and no pre-production work will be started until after the final season of Game of Thrones.
Before the beginning of Season 5 of Game of Thrones , HBO programming president Michael Lombardo said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that the network would eagerly accept the TV series going on for eight to ten seasons, but only if writers Benioff and Weiss felt it served the story instead of dragging it out. Jaehaerys II had notoriously poor health and died young after only ruling three years, but during that time he ruled well, and effectively dealt with the War of the Ninepenny Kings the fifth and last Blackfyre Rebellion.
Possibly this means that Aegon V's other children who are characters in the prequel era have been omitted as well, though the full after-effects of removing an entire generation from the royal family are unknown. In The Hedge Knight , the first novella in the series, Dunk and Egg are bonded for the first time at a jousting tournament gone wrong. In The Sworn Sword , Dunk and Egg get caught up in regional land conflicts between lords and peasants. Martin intended to write anywhere from seven to twelve entries in The Tales of Dunk and Egg series, but as with The Winds of Winter , his best intentions went awry.
An untitled prequel starring Naomi Watts was killed in development in late , while numerous other spin-offs circulated in the development ether, including 9 Voyages aka Sea Snake, Flea Bottom, 10, Ships, as well as three potential animated series at HBOMax. Only House of the Dragon has received an official production order; this prequel about a fateful civil war within the Targaryen family, set years before the original series, is set to debut in New details about these spin-offs have come to light at The Hollywood Reporter.
One of the animated series will take place in a landscape we never visited during the original television series: the Golden Empire of Yi Ti, also known as simply Yi Ti. Located on the continent of Essos, near the south-eastern limits of the known world, Yi Ti is considered one of the oldest and most advanced realms in Martin's fantasy sandbox. Inspired by imperial China, the region had only a brief reference in the television show, when Lord Varys famously sailed to Yi Ti.
