  • Why did Ulf the White fly to King's Landing, and why did Silverwing claim him? One of the questions that will be most talked about in the coming days is why dragons choose their riders - is it the will of the gods, lineage, or perhaps dark magic? Or is this drunk truly Daemon's brother? The story of the Dragonseed has called into question the idea that only the Targaryen can control the dragons, and perhaps in Ulf's story we can find the truth behind this secret.
    Are the dragons really in the wrong hands now? In this video, we will analyze the reason why Silverwing claimed Ulf and why he flew to King's Landing.

    Ulf and Hugh had valyrian blood.
    Vermathore chose Hugh because vermathore respected Hugh for standing up to him, Hughs strength in character made him worthy in vermathores eyes.
    Ulf show deference to silverwing, accepting his fate and symbolically surrendering to silverwing.
    Silverwing reciprocated and surrendered to ulf in response. ❤

      To claim a dragon you must be ready to die. If a rider is willing to accept death the dragon will bond with the rider. If you cling to life and try to run the dragon attacks. This has been shown several times in this show. In the books the targaryens were freaking out when eggs were stolen knowing that when the eggs hatched the truth of who could bond with dragons would be exposed.

      Seasmoke was cirling over a beach adam was on earlier in the season.
      Seasmoke was compelled to accept a new rider by the tamers but he found the kingsgaurd unworthy so he chose to serve Adam and went looking for him.

      I think they are setting Ulf up to do what Hugh does in the books, mostly because of his stories claiming to be a brother to Daemon and Jahaerys. It’s like them foreshadowing, plus he will have the support of small folk as he is one of them.

    I would bend the my knee to the rightful queen of the 7 kingdoms, Rhaenyra Targaryen. King Viserys, even in his deplorable health condition, enters the throne room, towards the throne, with all his last strength, to protect and support his daughter. He heard her prayers. King Viserys always wanted a son. But time taught him that his daughter had always been there, his flesh and blood. A man is only as big as the size of his word. Honor is not forgotten. I choose Rhaenyra Targaryen always.

Viserys was so delirious in his death throes, that his perception of time was all jumbled, and so the Greens position is comprised entirely of jumbled perceptions, and confusion.

    I think Ulf’s Targyrean background is true, though I can understand how he might doubt it deep down. Though I think the dragons MIGHT sense Targyrean (or perhaps even Valyrean) blood if strong enough, I think different dragons have different personalities. Hugh’s dragon required and responded to a stance/show of bravery; Ulf’s responded to an act/posture of submission/supplication.

    I think it's pretty obvious that Rhaeynera sent Silverwing and Ulf to Kings Landing to lure Aemond and Vhagar to Dragonstone to ambush them. When Ulf and Silverwing arrived back at Dragonstone, Rhaenerya and all her dragons are ready for Aemond and Vhagar. If Ulf and Silverwing had gone to Kings Landing on their own for other reasons, they would have returned to Dragonstone and had nobody waiting on them most likely or if Rhaenerya had seen them, she probably would have been mad as heck at him for doing that without permission

    To claim a dragon you need Targaryen blood but you also need something more. Just as rider chooses a dragon, the dragon must also choose the rider. Their spirit or the personality must also be compatible with each other. That's why Meleys refused Daemon and chose Rhaenys. He wasn't her type, so to speak. Now look at Caraxes and Daemon, you can't ask for a more compatible couple. Here's what I think that each dragon expects from the rider.
    Caraxes - Brutal, Cunning and Impulsive
    Meleys - Fierce, fiery and noble
    Seasmoke - Loyal, restless and aspiring
    Silverwing - Gentle, vulnerable and naive
    Vermithor - Brave, angry and ambitious
    Vhagar - Ruthless, vengeful and clever

    I think Ulf was told the story about being of royal blood, perhaps by his mom, but never believed it himself. He used it to get small folk favor though. In the end, it turned out to be true. But I also think the blood ritual was a thing that helped calm the dragons. Silverwing calmed Way too quickly.
    However, I think the sacrifice was something to do with the black goat religion. It seems like every time a Targarian does it, it's the start of their doom.

    Ulf conversation in the Inn must have been true, he must be Daemons 1/2 brother, Rhaenyra did what she had to do and was the 1st real rulers decision she's made all season she did show she cared about the people killed but told them the truth that they could be killed, Ulf has always stated he is with Queen Rhaenyras side so I don't think he's going to be a problem the other guy is who I don't trust, Ulf can finally put his demonds away

    I would have loved to see Rhaenys as queen, but if I had to choose between Aegon or Rhaenyra, I would choose Rhaenyra. Aegon would only serve as a drunken puppet, whereas Rhaenyra would have more sense of agency and will and overall leadership. She also understands the importance of the Song of Ice and Fire. She’s definitely far from perfect since she’s done a lot of selfish things that benefited herself, but out of her and Aegon, she’s the one with a better capacity for leadership. Plus, she has a lot of good people on her side like Jace and Corlys that could serve as givers of good counsel for her. Plus, it also helps that she is actually interested in being queen, unlike Aegon who didn’t want to be king all his life.
    Of course, this is all theoretically. Most of us already know how this story would end…

      She sent Silverwing because she's faster and didn't want to show off Vermithor yet. If she was smart since she had 6 dragons at Dragonstone was to surprise Vhagar and Aemond from the air. They would of easily killed them both and ended the war. Vermithor himself could take Vhagar out. She may have lost 2 of the smaller dragons but would of won the battle

The irony is that the reader/viewer of HoD is the introduction setting in a tavern playing a jester with a story to gain drinks.Very Shakespeare. Beautifully cast btw with Tom Bennett playing Ulf with florish and then providing behind the scenes guidance from an actor's pov. Personally, I would like to see Tom Glen-Carney who plays the King and Tom Bennett do a mini press kit on dragon riding.

    I think it's what this video revealed - that the blood magic of the sacrifices guru'd Vermithor and Silverwing into choosing riders who are not at all Targaryans. This is the most dramatic choice; it leads us into believing Rhaenyra's forces are dominant, when that magic can wear off at any minute and then all hell will break loose.

    Given that both Hugh and Ulf are the same generation as Visery and Daemon and the unclaimed dragons didn't want any of the "noble born" riders, I say it's the blood they sensed. On rewatch Verm seems to consider Ulf but passes him over and seems to be looking for Hugh. He doesn't kill Ulf but just knocks him down. Then when he get a good full on look/smell of Hugh down on the ground he doesn't resist. Same with Ulf later one.

She is the rightful ruler. I am team Black!

    So get this! Ulf is similar to the favorite daughter of Good Queen Alysanne, Viserra, who she mourned for the most when she died breaking her neck while drunk riding a horse. Hugh was a drunk just like Viserra and those unresolved emotions passed to Silverwing who chose a new rider most similar to her former rider’s favorite child. Hugh’s mother Saera was the child Old King Jaehaerys wanted the most in his last days, and those emotions passed to Vermithor who reconciled with Saera’s son Hugh.

To show how unprepared Aemond is and he should fear her and her new riders. If u ask me, its not about blood, but character. Dragons r said to b magical. GoT's warlocks in s2 reveals that they amplify magic when near them. Dragons can somehow sense if someone is worthy of their service. The 1st Valyrian ppl were shepards, before the city was build. So they were the seeds before the roots, to what Rhaenya was looking for. If the 2 before Ulf don't have any Targaryen blood roots, then these guys r brand new seeds
