Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon are set in fictional locations and time periods. Although they have mystical creatures and magical beings, the shows lack modern-day comforts, like electricity. Torches and candles are used to illuminate the otherwise dreary interiors seen throughout both shows. However using all that fire could make things a little uncomfortable on set.

When does ‘Game of Thrones’ and ‘House of the Dragon’ take place?

Game of Thrones takes place in the fantasy realms of Westeros and Essos, beginning in 298 AC. While George R.R. Martin drew from many historical sources to create his fantasy novels, he admitted in an interview with The Guardian that the time period is perhaps closest to the War of the Roses in 15th century England. The feud took place between the houses of York, represented by a white rose, and Lancaster, represented by a red rose.
