Guess the 'House of the Dragon' Characters: First and Last Letter Word Quest

Set nearly 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon ignites the screen with political tension, fiery dragons, and unforgettable characters. Centered on the rise—and eventual fall—of House Targaryen, the show introduces a cast of power players who shape the fate of Westeros with every alliance, betrayal, and battlefield maneuver. This Word Quest challenges you to identify ten major characters using only their first and last letters. Do you have what it takes to survive the Dance of the Dragons?

At the center of the storm is Rhaenyra Targaryen, the fierce and determined heir to the Iron Throne. Her claim sparks a kingdom-wide conflict that brings old loyalties and new enemies into focus. Beside her stands Prince Daemon, her unpredictable uncle and one of the most formidable warriors in the realm. Their relationship—complicated, passionate, and controversial—drives much of the drama at court.

On the other side of the power struggle is Queen Alicent Hightower, Rhaenyra’s former friend turned rival. Her father, Otto Hightower, plays the game of thrones with precision and ambition, guiding his daughter and grandchildren into the heart of the succession crisis. Meanwhile, characters like Ser Criston Cole, Laenor Velaryon, Rhaenys Targaryen, and Harwin Strong add intrigue, heartbreak, and shifting loyalties to an already volatile court.

Blood, Fire, and Family

One of the show's strengths is its focus on family—how loyalty can both bind and break those closest to power. The Targaryens are not just rulers; they are dragonriders, visionaries, and survivors of prophecy. But as much as dragons give them power, it's the choices they make as parents, children, and spouses that seal their fates.

Each character brings complexity to the dance. Joffrey Velaryon and other young heirs become pawns in a larger conflict. Harwin Strong represents the personal cost of quiet loyalty. And throughout it all, Viserys I—plagued by indecision and a yearning for peace—serves as a tragic reminder that ruling is never easy, especially when legacy is at stake.

This Word Quest is your chance to dive back into the world of Westeros and prove your loyalty to House Targaryen—or its rivals. Can you name these characters from just their first and last letters? Unsheathe your memory, steady your dragon, and take flight into the challenge!
