House of the Dragon boss explains the role of the Song of Ice and Fire prophecy

Approximately two weeks ago, author George R.R. Martin criticized “House of the Dragon,” a series derived from his book “Fire & Blood,” for making numerous alterations. In reaction to this critique, HBO released an episode on their official “House of the Dragon” podcast where showrunner Ryan Condal justified his adaptation decisions. He touched upon several subjects, including the essence of the Song of Ice and Fire prophecy, which posits that a Targaryen should sit on the Iron Throne to combat an impending apocalyptic danger originating from the distant North.
