House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 7left Team Black in the best possible position for what’s sure to be the fiercest battle in theTargaryen Civil Warso far.
Thanks toRhaenyraandJacaerys‘ efforts, several wild dragons have been claimed, includingSilverwing and Vermithor. Now that they are armed with more dragon power, they have a better shot at defeatingthe Greens.
And their chances of winning the war are going to grow asGame of Thrones‘ favorite family, the Starks, will be joining Team Black for theSeason 2 finale.
This small army is known as the Winter Wolves, a group of northmen who pledged their allegiance to Rhaenyra’s claim. They also go by the name Greybeards, as they are older men who have spent decades protecting the North from wildlings and other dangerous creatures.
While most of the people in the Winter Wolves are not directly linked to House Stark by blood, they were commanded into battle at the behest ofCregan Stark, the Lord of Winterfell.
Back in Episode 1, Cregan met with Jacaerys on the top of the Wall where the Night’s Watch are stationed.
The Stark lord agreed to help Team Black because of his ancestors’ long history withTargaryen kingssuch as Jaehaerys I Targaryen.
