This ancient pact between the Starks and the Targaryens is further explored.Prince Jacaerys Velaryon is sent by Queen Rhaenyra to Winterfell to secure the Starks’ allegiance. There, he forms a close friendship with Lord Cregan Stark, leading to the signing of the Pact of Ice and Fire.
This pact states that when the war is over, Cregan’s son will marry Jacaerys’ firstborn daughter, uniting the Stark and Targaryen bloodlines.While Cregan Stark remains in Winterfell, the Winter Wolves, led by Lord Roderick Dustin, will represent the North in the Targaryen civil war.
They will play a pivotal role in key battles, most notably the Battle by the Lakeshore, showcasing the power and bravery of the Northmen.
Overall, House Stark’s involvement, though not as central as in Game of Thrones, will have a significant impact on the events of House of the Dragon as the Pact of Ice and Fire is forged and the Winter Wolves fight alongside the Blacks.
