Every Major Death in House of the Dragon's Season 3 Premiere Battle of the Gullet
'House of the Dragon' finally made its triumphant return after two years. The premiere episode, titled 'Salt and Sea, Fire and Blood,' featured the highly anticipated 'Battle of the Gullet.' As per George R.R. Martin's 'The Dance of the Dragons,' this battle had severe consequences for the civil war between Team Green and Team Black. Rhaenyra especially was driven mad by the losses she suffered in the battle. Though Team Black gathered a strategic win, as they retained the Velaryon fleet and continued to control the east coasts of Westeros, the personnel they lost in the battle were a huge emotional cost for Rhaenyra to bear. Also, the Dragonstone folks, who were fiercely loyal to Rhaenyra, started resenting her due to the losses in this war. Lord Corlys Velaryon also considered the battle a loss because of the devastating blows his fleet took as well as the people who were sacrificed. Greens also couldn't escape harm, as one of their strongest allies, the southern Free Cities, withdrew support after the devastating battle. The show's adaptation of the event was as grand as it was in the books, though some events were tweaked. Certain surprising deaths shocked the audience. The death everyone had been dreading also happened in the final moments, and was as devastating as in the book. These four deaths in the battle will certainly impact the Targaryen saga, which will ultimately change the face of Westeros forever.
