So, here’s all you need to know. Are there White Walkers in House of the Dragon Season 2? The short answer to the question of White Walkers’ existence during House of the Dragon’s era is yes. While they do not show up in Seasons 1 or 2, they have been referenced multiple times already.
In the first season, King Viserys spoke of Aegon the Conqueror’s prophecy of the “Prince that was promised.” According to Viserys, Aegon had witnessed the presence of White Walkers during his northern adventures. He believed that a terrible winter was headed toward Westeros from the distant North, and it would bring their world to an end.
To defeat this coming army, a future Targaryen prince must be seated on the Iron Throne, uniting all of Westeros. While that prophecy was fulfilled by Aegon’s descendants, Jon Snow and Daenerys, it also confirmed the existence of the Night King’s army during and even before House of the Dragon’s timeline. For reference, started in 101 AC, almost 200 years before Game of Thrones’ start point in 298 AC.
