In the enchanting and perilous world of "House of the Dragon," dragons and their riders share a bond that transcends mere companionship. These mighty creatures, revered and feared, choose their riders with a mystique that has fascinated fans for generations. One such pairing in the latest season has left viewers buzzing with curiosity: why did Seasmoke, the dragon previously ridden by Laenor Velaryon, choose Addam of Hull as his new rider?
