titled The Heirs of the Dragon, Twitter erupted. In the first episode, King Viserys I Targaryen chose

to the Iron Throne, setting up a succession drama. King Viserys exiled Daemon after learning that

his younger brother had made fun of the loss of his son Baelon, who had passed away just hours after

his birth and had also taken Queen Aemma's life. When King Viserys discovered that Daemon had referred to

Baelon as "The Heir for a Day" in a celebratory speech after being named the heir apparent, he was incensed.
