Game of Thrones: Conquest is keeping the franchise active between major television releases with The Blood of the Dragon, a new event included in the broader Dragonseeds Arc. The September update draws directly from Targaryen history and House of the Dragon, giving players new heroes, equipment, dragon gear, and several limited-time activities while the wider Game of Thrones universe waits for its next major releases.
What happened in Game of Thrones: Conquest
The Dragonseeds Arc runs from September 1 through September 25, 2026, and centers on people with common-born or illegitimate ties to Targaryen and other Valyrian bloodlines. In the lore, some of these descendants may be capable of bonding with dragons. House of the Dragon brought figures such as Hugh Hammer and Ulf into the spotlight as Rhaenyra Targaryen sought new riders for dragons left without them during the Targaryen conflict.
Game of Thrones: Conquest now adapts that part of the story through a series of connected activities. Players can recruit Alys Rivers and Hugh Hammer as heroes, collect Dragonseed equipment, and obtain the Ever-Ready Warrior Saddle for their dragons. Braavosi Loan trophies can also be traded for rewards in the Recipes tab of the Inventory while Battle of Yunkai or Bay of Dragons activities are active. Those trophies must be used before Bay of Dragons ends.
Why The Blood of the Dragon matters
The Blood of the Dragon is one component of the larger September program rather than a separate standalone release. It runs through September 5 and focuses on crafting gear, while another player-versus-environment event remains active through September 3. Additional events follow as part of the Dragonseeds update.
That structure gives Game of Thrones: Conquest a way to turn familiar television and book-lore elements into playable progression. The mobile strategy title has supported Android and iOS since 2017 and continues to receive updates. By using House of the Dragon material, it can offer timely content without waiting for the next season of the television universe or the next major book release.
What to watch next
Players should first track the short window for The Blood of the Dragon and the deadlines attached to its connected activities. The September 5 conclusion makes early participation important for anyone interested in crafting-focused rewards. The Dragonseeds Arc itself continues until September 25, leaving more time to explore the new heroes, gear, and dragon equipment.
For fans following the broader franchise, the update also shows how Game of Thrones: Conquest can fill quieter periods between major releases. The game is currently drawing from House of the Dragon, but its ongoing update model leaves room for future story and lore connections across the wider universe.
Key takeaways for players
- The Blood of the Dragon runs through September 5 and emphasizes gear crafting.
- The Dragonseeds Arc continues from September 1 through September 25.
- Alys Rivers and Hugh Hammer are available as new heroes.
- The Ever-Ready Warrior Saddle adds new dragon gear to pursue.

Expert View
The strongest part of this update is its efficient use of established lore. Instead of treating the gap between major Game of Thrones releases as dead time, Game of Thrones: Conquest is converting a recognizable House of the Dragon storyline into a sequence of playable goals. The limited event deadlines create urgency, while the broader Dragonseeds Arc provides a longer runway. For a live mobile strategy game, that combination is a practical way to keep the community engaged without overstating the size of the release.
