Those looking to assume the highest seat of power in all of Westeros are getting a chance to do just that ahead of HBO’s “House of the Dragon” debut Aug. 21. The new (old?) Iron Throne from this anticipated prequel series is stationed at the Tower of London and ready for viewing.
The new-look Iron Throne is a sharper and even more imposing symbol of power than what fans remember from “Game of Thrones,” as “House of the Dragon” takes place centuries before the events of the main series when the Targaryen dynasty placed a heavy emphasis on intimidating representation. It was unveiled by Sky and streaming service Now at the famous medieval fortress, which was erected by William the Conqueror after his European War of Conquest 1,000 years ago, one of many inspirations behind author George R.R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” series.
