Next weekend, the war between Team Green and Team Black will seriously escalate. At least, if we go by the House of the Dragon trailer for Episode 2×04 which not only shows an impending beheading and marching troops, but above all hot dragon action that fans have been waiting for since the beginning of the current season.
We’ll probably have to update our article about the deaths in House of the Dragon again after that. Here’s the trailer:

“You must send the dragons to war”: This is how hot the upcoming episode of House of the Dragon will be
Queen Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) then gives the order to unleash her dragons. But what we see most in the preview is Aemond Targaryen (Ewan Mitchell) from the opposing side on Vhagar, the oldest and most powerful dragon of all of Westeros. It is not for nothing that the monster is nicknamed the Queen of all Dragons. Only the long-dead Balerion was bigger.
Vhagar was named after a Valyrian deity and has already fought several historic battles with Visenya and Baelon Targaryen. Most recently, Laena Velaryon (Nanna Blondell) was their dragon rider, until she allowed herself to be burned alive by her dragoness during a pregnancy with fatal complications. Aemond then risked his life to build a bond with Vhagar – which he actually succeeded in doing, much to the chagrin of Leana’s children.

Team Green thus has the greatest single power in all of Westeros and also counts the smaller dragons Sunfire and Dreamfire on his side. Team Black can be sure of a larger dragon arsenal. This includes Caraxes, Meleys, Moondancer, Seasmoke, Syrax, Tyraxes and Vermax. Silverwing and Vermithor are currently riderless.
And if the many people in House of the Dragon confuse you even more than the few dragons, we have a handy, spoiler-free family tree for you.
