House Of The Dragon Could Confirm A Major Game Of Thrones Maester Theory

House of the Dragon has a chance to confirm a massive maester theory from the A Song of Ice and Fire book series and Game of Thrones. House of the Dragon season 1 has proven to be a worthy successor to Game of Thrones, as it follows the turbulent Targaryen family and details one of the worst civil wars in Westerosi history. The Game of Thrones franchise is critical to HBO's success so the popularity enjoyed by House of the Dragon is crucial.



House of the Dragon immediately showed that it is not afraid of including popular book theories by confirming the long standing theory that Aegon the Conqueror took Westeros because of a prophetic dream about the Long Night. There is a huge selection of popular theories out there regarding the expansive history of the franchise plenty of which take place in the House of the Dragon timeline. This maester theory is one of the most popular of those theories, and it is one that House of the Dragon has an obvious chance to confirm.

Game Of Thrones Maester Conspiracy Theory Explained

The maester theory essentially states that the maesters contributed to the death of dragons in Westeros because they favor a world ruled by science and logic. Moreover the maesters seek the destruction of all forms of magic which they see as unpredictable dangerous and a threat to their place in the world. The most revealing piece of evidence comes from the following quote from A Feast for Crows, the fourth book in A Song of Ice and Fire when Marwyn the Mage is speaking to Samwell Tarly at the citadel.

Marwyn who is one of the most brilliant, if unorthodox, maesters at the Citadel certainly believes it was the maesters who killed the dragons. The maesters of Old town have plenty of secrets and it seems impossible to figure them out without being a maester, but that just makes Marwyn's quote even more impactful. The idea that the maesters who might seem harmless to show fans would be capable of killing dragons might seem far fetched. However the maesters actually hold an enormous amount of power and have the ear of virtually every lord and lady in Westeros.

Furthermore the maesters have the greatest accumulation of knowledge in the world at the Citadel. They may not have the prowess to ride into battle against a dragon but it is easily conceivable that they could find ways to poison dragons or stunt their growth in some way. It is said in the books that the last of the Targaryen dragons - before Daenerys that is - were small and stunted. This is the only account of sickly dragons in the entire series, which points to some sort of foul play. The maester theory may seem unlikely initially but with all the evidence stacked side by side it becomes much more plausible.
