Game of Thrones Spinoff Aegon's Conquest Gets an Update

As a gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that the world of Westeros has been a constant source of intrigue and excitement for me. With the latest update on House of the Dragon, I find myself eagerly awaiting the third season, and the upcoming spinoffs like A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight and Aegon’s Conquest.

There’s fresh news about one of HBO’s spinoffs from “Game of Thrones”. After wrapping up Season 2 of “House of the Dragon”, we’re now in a holding pattern for the upcoming third season. Coming up, you might see shows like “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight” and “Aegon’s Conquest” on your screens. “Aegon’s Conquest”, which focuses on the Targaryen conquest of Westeros and many of the events leading to both “Game of Thrones” and “House of the Dragon”, is currently in production. Mattson Tomlin, the writer for “Aegon’s Conquest”, has shared that his conversations with author George R.R. Martin are influencing the shape of this upcoming series.

The experience begins with George, whom I’ve recently spent a considerable amount of time with. There have been numerous instances where I felt like I was dreaming as we navigated through trials and tribulations, underlined passages, and incessantly asked him to clarify things such as “What does this mean?” or “What is this?” My questions were often intense, especially when I didn’t comprehend certain parts of the work. This is what Tomlin shared with the Westerosies website (as reported by Nexus Point News).

At other times, I believe it could be interpreted as such and then again, I treat the text like it’s a true account of history. This is one aspect that defines my approach – I view “fire and blood” as a historical narrative, where events transpired in reality. We are familiar with the chronicles of Alexander the Great, Napoleon, and their battles, casualties, and some quotes or possible dialogue. However, we don’t have all the details. He went on to say…

Tomlin summarized by saying, “My focus is on honoring George and the text, while ensuring the story remains engaging. The characters must embark on a journey, experience change, and progress from start to finish. It’s about finding ways to achieve this with the hints provided in the textbook, and interpreting real history to create a captivating show that people enjoy rather than dislike, striving for excellence.”

Game of Thrones Spinoff Aegon's Conquest Gets an Update

George R.R. Martin, the creator behind Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon, plans to discuss his concerns about House of the Dragon. He made this statement in a recent blog post, but didn’t provide any hints about what he found problematic with the Game of Thrones spinoff. However, he did mention that he intends to address these issues at some point in the future.

The article primarily delves into Martin’s experience in Santa Fe during the “Burning of Zozobra,” which is known as the original Burning Man to some. However, Martin also reflects on the challenging times we are all going through globally. He admits that this year has been particularly difficult not just for him, but for everyone, with war and rising fascism being prevalent issues, along with his own personal struggles marked by stress, anger, conflict, and defeat.

After focusing on certain troublesome matters he’s experienced this year, George expresses his reluctance towards discussing them further, including the show ‘House of the Dragon’. However, he acknowledges that he must address these topics in future posts as well. But for now, he chooses to set aside those difficult subjects because today is a day dedicated to Zozobra, a time when we shift our focus away from sadness.
