There are a few iconic symbols of Game of Thrones, but none of them are as recognizable as the Iron Throne. It’s the image that was emblazoned on posters, parodied by reality shows, and was the source of countless fan photo ops. After all, that was the titular throne the whole game was about.
In the prequel series House of the Dragon, we get to see the Targaryen family and the Iron Throne itself at its height, a sprawling, spiky art piece that nearly covers the entire throne room. But with this more imposing shape came a lot of superstition — including an ill omen first referenced in a forgotten piece of Game of Thrones lore from 10 years ago.
