The Big Picture
- The Dance of the Dragons in House of the Dragon marks the decline of House Velaryon, impacting their naval supremacy.
- Other houses, including Greyjoy, Lannister, and Redwyne, build their naval power over time as a result of this.
- By the time of Game of Thrones , House Velaryon is a minor player, sworn to House Baratheon of Dragonstone.
- House Velaryon is one of the key players in House of the Dragon. They are one of the wealthiest houses and have the greatest armada in Westeros. They have the legendary Corlys Velaryon (Steve Toussaint) as their lord, though the situation might get a bit dodgy when it comes to who might be his heir. Still, they are an illustrious Valyrian house during the era of the Dance of the Dragons. But, by the time of Game of Thrones, the Velaryons are but a shadow of what they once were. The house's name is barely spoken in the series, and some members briefly show up in the A Song of Ice and Fire books, but in subordinate positions, not nearly as influential and important as they once were. What happened to "the old, the true, and the brave?"
