House of the Dragon's Valyrian Dagger is a Game of Thrones Artifact
House of the Dragon triumphantly introduced a litter of fresh faces to George R. R. Martin's fantasy world. Aside from King Viserys (Paddy Considine), viewers are introduced to Prince Daemon (Matt Smith), Princess Rhaenyra (Milly Alcock), and Princess Rhaenys Targaryen (Eve Best). The Game of Thrones spin-off series also presents the Hand of the King, Ser Otto Hightower (Rhys Ifans), his daughter Alicent (Emily Carey), and Rhaenys' husband Lord Corlys Velaryon (Steve Toussaint), to create the dangerous world of Westeros once more.

As expected, the House of the Dragon's premiere was littered with references to Game of Thrones, including one weapon wielded by King Viserys I.
