The first season of the HBO epic House of the Dragon has come to a close.
As the season reaches its dramatic conclusion, the civil war that will be known as the Dance of the Dragons has begun in earnest.
On one side we have the ‘Blacks’, the supporters of Queen Rhaenyra I Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy) who was the chosen heir of her late father King Viserys I Targaryen (Paddy Considine).
On the other side are the ‘Greens’, the supporters of Rhaenyra’s younger half-brother, King Aegon II Targaryen (Tom Glynn-Carney), who has been installed by Viserys’ widow Queen Mother Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke) and her father, Ser Otto Hightower (Rhys Ifans), the Hand of the King.
So, who in the Seven Kingdoms makes up each side in the horrific war to come?
