House of The Dragon Season 2: Who Are The New Dragonriders Of The Blacks?
Rhaenyra raises an army in the penultimate episode of House of the Dragon season 2, and new Dragonseeds find riders. Addam of Hull rides Seasmoke, Hugh rides Vermithor, and Ulf rides Silverwing.
Rhaenyra Targaryen battles throughout House of the Dragon Season 2 and amasses an army in the penultimate episode of f. Her husband, Daemon, does not stand by her side in the early stages of the war and sets off to Harrenhal right after the Blood and Cheese plot, remaining there for most of the season.
Rhaenyra's heir, Jacaerys Velaryon, proposes anointing Targaryen blood on dragons to amass their fighting forces. He forbids lowborns from joining in the Sowing of the Seeds, but Rhaenyra invites the Dragonseeds of King's Landing to mount dragons at the Dragonmont. She arranges rowboats and gives them a warning before the taming of Vermithor starts. In House of the Dragon, two riderless dragons find their riders.
Here's what viewers should know about the new riders.
Addam Of Hull - Seasmoke
Having burned Ser Steffon Darklyn, Seasmoke flees Dragonstone and takes to the beaches of Driftmark in search of Addam of Hull. He returns to Addam, and Rhaenyra learns that he has another new Dragonrider. Until now, Addam had been waiting for the chance to prove his worth to her cause. He pledged himself to Queen Rhaenyra in her war efforts. Rhaenyra and Addam head back to Dragonstone, where she starts training him in High Valyrian for the upcoming battles.
Hugh the Smith - Vermithor
In House of the Dragon season 2, Hugh is a smith specializing in dragon-killing Scorpions; he petitions Aegon II to release the pending payments. Aegon II assents. With silver hair and Targaryen features, Hugh tends to his sick daughter in King's Landing at their poor home with an acute shortage of food and other essentials. Kat insists that he stays at Tumbleton with her brother, but he refuses for worse days onward.
Hugh's ailing daughter succumbs to Aemond's restrictions on the Smallfolk, which caused food security issues. He informs his wife that he is a Targaryen-born: his mother was the sister of Viserys and Daemon. On a rowboat en-route to Dragonstone, Hugh and the rest encounter Vermithor, the Bronze Fury, who proceeds to burn the Dragonseeds. In the destruction, Hugh saves a woman by attracting the attention of Vermithor onto himself.
Ulf - Silverwing
Ulf, claiming Dragonseed descent, earned an opportunity when Rhaenyra gave license to the Sowing of the Seeds. He was a half-brother to Viserys and Daemon and thus uncle to Rhaenyra and Aegon II. Ulf was displeased over how the Greens were handling matters of bread and blues.
Ulf fled Vermithor's wrath into Silverwing's lair, and the dragon took him. His cheerful nature helped him run away from King's Landing to attack the Greens. Aemond gave chase but was forced to return upon seeing new dragons across the Bay.
