A Tale of Two Series

The Eyrie, the ancestral seat of House Arryn, stands as one of the most iconic castles in the world of Westeros. Both "Game of Thrones" and its prequel, "House of the Dragon," provide glimpses into this formidable fortress, but how do their portrayals differ, and what secrets does this ancient castle hold?

The Historical Significance

The Eyrie is perched high in the Mountains of the Moon, making it one of the most impregnable castles in Westeros.

Its strategic location and design have long made it a symbol of House Arryn's enduring strength and legacy. Built on the Giant's Lance, the highest peak in the Vale, it is accessible only by a narrow, treacherous path, guarded by three way-castles​​​​.

Game of Thrones: The Political Powerhouse

In "Game of Thrones," the Eyrie is primarily depicted during moments of political intrigue and familial strife.

One of the most memorable scenes involves the Moon Door, a trapdoor that opens into a long drop to the rocks below, used by Lysa Arryn to execute perceived enemies. The Eyrie’s isolation and the erratic behavior of its Lady make it a place of suspense and tension​​.

House of the Dragon: A Different Perspective

"House of the Dragon" takes us back in time, showing the Eyrie during a different era of Targaryen rule.
