About this episode
The episode explores the life of Prince Aerion Targaryen, examining his delusions of being a dragon and his notorious actions.
Prince Aerion thought he was a dragon in human skin, and he seems to have had dragon dreams, but truly - he was a monster. A look at his full life, before and after Ashford Meadow, including his time in Essos, his rumored use of black magic, his time in the Second Sons, his run as heir to the Iron Throne, and his very strange death. Pre-recorded and featuring Nina Krusling!
