Explained simply
House of the Dragon is a fantasy drama set about 200 years before Game of Thrones. Both are based on books by George R. R. Martin; the earlier story centres on a civil war within House Targaryen, a ruling family whose members ride dragons.
Rook’s Rest is the site of a major battle in Fire & Blood, the book that provides the history behind House of the Dragon. The conflict involves rival Targaryen claimants and their supporters, with dragons and political alliances shaping the struggle.
Game of Thrones: Legends is a mobile game that brings characters from Martin’s stories together in playable events. Its champions include figures from the original Game of Thrones era, such as Oberyn Martell, Tywin Lannister and Gregor Clegane, alongside the dragon Sunfyre.
