Storm of Swords – The Dragonpit

Whitebeard tells Daenerys about the Dragon pit.

I have mixed feelings about this one. I’m perfectly happy with how it looks. But I still think it’s wrong. I guess I conflicted between I am being described as cavernous while still having a huge dome that made it the biggest landmark in King’s Landing. I mostly based it on the Pantheon which I think looks a little too tidy. I’d think this would be one of the things the Targaryens would use dragon-forged Valerian architecture for.

Also, I think the Dragons look way too tame.

Asoiaf a song of ice and fire storm of swords illustration pen and ink dragons king's landing dragonpit fantasy architecture — “In King’s Landing, your ancestors raised an immense domed castle for their dragons. The Dragonpit, it is called. It still stands atop the Hill of Rhaenys, though all in ruins now. That was where the royal dragons dwelt in days of yore, and a cavernous dwelling it was, with iron doors so wide that thirty knights could ride through them abreast. Yet even so, it was noted that none of the pit dragons ever reached the size of their ancestors. The maesters say it was because of the walls around them, and the great dome above their heads.”
