HOTD Showrunner on the Catspaw Dagger and the new Targaryen Sigil
Let’s get it straight, Valyrian steel nerds: yes that is the storied Catspaw dagger in Alicent Hightower’s hand in the teaser.
There was some minor debate over the point raised among fans when a new House of the Dragon interview was released this week as part of EW’s splashy exclusive series to hype the new show. The dagger was first spotted in Game of Thrones during a season 1 assassination attempt on Bran, and used spectacularly by Arya Stark to end the Night King. It was exciting to see it resurface in connection with the new show, a small and bloody tie with the familiar. But, the interview released on the 15th told us this was NOT the Catspaw dagger. Wait what?! I mean…look at it. And HOTD series co-creator Ryan Condal spoke of the two shows’ inevitable “shared imagery” in the interview. So what gives?
