Rhaena brings a stash of dragon eggs to Vale

In House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 3, we see Rhaena Targaryen going to Vale to Lady Jeyne Arryn with the dragon eggs and the younger children of Rhaenyra – Joffrey, Aegon and Viserys for protection. The children will spend some time there while  Rhaenyra prepares for the war to come from Dragonstone.

Fans wonder if the eggs belong to Daenerys in Game of Thrones

Though this is not the first time we have seen dragon eggs in House of the Dragon, some fans pondered upon the possibility of some of these eggs being passed on to Daenerys in Game of Thrones. They said:

So is the idea here that these will be Daenerys' dragon eggs that she'll eventually hatch in Game of Thrones? Hmm….interesting #HouseOfTheDragon pic.twitter.com/GDkXNtoqu8

Ryan Condal explained the situation with the eggs. The odd one out (iykyk) is her son Viserys’ dragon egg.

I don’t know how I feel about the reasoning behind sending them to The Vale because it makes no sense. If anything, it puts a giant target on the Eyrie.#HouseOfTheDragon pic.twitter.com/lIAr24z619

Elissa Farman already stole the eggs that become Dany's like seventy years before Syrax was born

Although a lot of fans seem to think the eggs could become the ones that Daenerys ends up getting, some fans argue that the lore doesn’t add up. However, it’s possible that the show is trying to “retcon” this particular bit, which seems to be the truth here as confirmed by the director.

House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 3 director Geeta Vasant Patel confirms the eggs are Daenerys’ dragons

In a quote to Mashable, episode 3 director Geeta Vasant Patel confirmed that the eggs we see would go on to find Daenerys.

“Those are Daenerys’ eggs. All of us who work on this show are big Game of Thrones fans, so it was very exciting to shoot that scene.”

This significantly changes the lore, which implies that the eggs Daenerys gets had already made it to Essos before the Dance of the Dragons began, thanks to Elissa Farman, who stole the eggs from Dragonstone.
