Question
As we can see from the House of the Dragon, the iron throne looks different from the one we see in the Games of Thrones. In addition to all the melted swords that form the chair, there are lots more to both the left and the right, looking like small bushes.
Do we know what happens to the additional vertical standing swords? As the Iron Throne, as we see from the Games of Thrones does not have them.
Answer
From twinfinite
Ryan Condal added in the same interview:
“It’s as iconic as a lightsaber in Star Wars. What we wanted to do is honor that, but also tell the story of a more decadent time, and also communicate that 200 years has passed. If you look very closely, you’ll see that the original throne is there. It’s just added to and augmented, which suggests that history changes things at some point in the intervening time.
So basically they tried to make the throne as accurate as possible and only explain the change that a lot can happen in 200 years.
Just like in Game of Thrones they are changing things from books so they can retcon this change also in the show we have to wait and watch if they show Robert's rebellion being the cause for the change or if anything else happens in these 200 years.
