Seasmoke's New Rider Explained: Why did Seasmoke claim Addam as a new rider if Laenor is still alive?
2024/07/23 Report

The Mystery Unveiled

The latest season of "House of the Dragon" has left fans buzzing with excitement and speculation. One of the biggest mysteries revolves around Seasmoke, Laenor Velaryon's dragon, and his unexpected new rider, Addam of Hull. This twist has fans questioning how Seasmoke could bond with a new rider if Laenor is still alive. Let's dive into the intricate details of this captivating storyline.

Laenor's Disappearance

In Season 1, Laenor Velaryon, trapped in a political marriage with Rhaenyra Targaryen, faked his death to escape the pressures of his noble life and live freely. His departure left Seasmoke without a rider, and the dragon has since been residing at Driftmark, the Velaryon stronghold. However, as the Targaryen civil war heats up, every dragon's presence becomes crucial​​​​.

Seasmoke's Role in the War

With the Greens and Blacks on the brink of war, the strategic importance of dragons cannot be overstated. Seasmoke, a formidable dragon, could provide a significant advantage in battle. However, the lore of "House of the Dragon" suggests that a dragon can only have one rider at a time, and that rider must have Valyrian blood. This raises the question of how Seasmoke could accept Addam if Laenor is still alive and possibly planning a return​​.

Addam of Hull's Introduction

Addam of Hull is introduced as a new character in Season 2. Born a bastard in the town of Hull, he and his brother Alyn are revealed to be sons of Lord Corlys Velaryon. This lineage makes them suitable candidates for dragon riding. Addam's connection with Seasmoke is hinted at early in the season, and by Episode 6, he successfully bonds with the dragon, much to the surprise of fans and characters alike​​.

The Lore and Its Flexibility

The show has taken some liberties with the established dragonrider lore from George R.R. Martin's books. Traditionally, a dragon will not accept a new rider while its original rider is still alive. This rule appears to be flexible in the show's adaptation, allowing for dramatic plot developments. Laenor's supposed death and subsequent disappearance create a unique situation where Seasmoke, feeling abandoned, forms a new bond with Addam​​.

The Implications of Addam's Bond

Addam's bond with Seasmoke has significant implications for the storyline. It not only brings a new dragonrider into the fray but also raises questions about loyalty, heritage, and the ever-evolving dynamics of the Targaryen civil war. As Rhaenyra seeks to solidify her claim to the throne, the addition of Addam and Seasmoke to her forces could prove to be a game-changer​​.

Future Speculations

The future of Laenor Velaryon remains uncertain. While his fate is ambiguous, the show has set the stage for potential dramatic returns and conflicts. Fans are eagerly awaiting to see how the storyline will unfold and what twists and turns lie ahead. Will Laenor return to reclaim his dragon, or will Addam's bond with Seasmoke remain unchallenged? Only time will tell​​​​.
