HBO has just officially revealed the personal sigil of Larys Strong and it could have a deeper meaning than you think.

HBO has just unveiled the personal sigil of Larys Strong to be a firefly, which could be seen inlaid in the pommel of his cane in Episode 6 of House of the Dragon.

This reveal could mean many things, or it could just be symbolism that Larys is loyal to House Hightower, lighting the way in a similar vein that a lighthouse would.

“Have a theory on what this means and how it ties to the Hightowers.

Showrunner Ryan Condal recently spoke about Larys and how they adapted what was given in the book Fire & Blood into what we got on screen.

“He was fascinating in the book,” Condal said. “We just decided that Larys was smart enough in the history to never to get himself written down into many of the accounts too much, but we knew he was a schemer. We knew he was operating in those places, but he was wise. So nobody really knew what he was actually up to. Of course, you’re only looking at what’s in the historical records. So that doesn’t mean these things didn’t happen.”

“We looked at what George gave us in the text. We talked to him, of course. And then we took what we knew about the character and placed him into interesting dynamics, situations that had political things to be lost and gained. How is he going to play and what is this person actually gonna do? But that’s actually a place where we had a tremendous amount of latitude because he’s so present in the book and so interesting. You just want to turn the page and read more, but there’s not much there. Because the historians didn’t really get anything on him, it gave us tons of latitude to really draw on and invent with that character.”
