In the show, it is never definitively stated where Drogon takes Daenerys after he picks up her body and flies away, so the destination is officially unknown.

What the episode itself tells us

  • After Jon kills Daenerys in the throne room, Drogon finds her body, mourns, melts the Iron Throne, and flies off with her in his claws.
  • Later in the episode, there’s a brief line that Drogon was last seen “flying east,” which means he left Westeros and headed toward Essos.
  • Beyond that, the show gives no on‑screen confirmation of his final destination.

Most popular fan theories

Because the show leaves it open, fans have built several big theories around “where did Drogon take Daenerys”:

  1. Old Valyria (most romantic/epic theory)
    • Old Valyria is the ancestral homeland of the Targaryens and of dragons themselves in Essos.
 * Both articles and fan discussions often suggest Drogon would instinctively carry her “home” to the ruins of Valyria, a place strongly tied to dragon magic and Targaryen history.

 * This fits thematically: the last dragon taking the last Targaryen queen back to the birthplace of their line.
  1. Dragonstone
    • Some speculate Drogon might have taken her to Dragonstone, the Targaryen stronghold off Westeros’s east coast and her first “home” in Westeros.
 * It’s closer and symbolically important, but the “flying east” line nudges more toward Essos than Dragonstone.
  1. Meereen or the Dothraki Sea
    • Other fans think Drogon might return Daenerys to Meereen or to the Dothraki Sea, where she truly grew into her role as Khaleesi and Mother of Dragons.
 * This leans on the idea that, to Drogon, “home” is the wide, open lands of Essos where he hunted freely.
  1. Essos in general (the “safe but vague” answer)
    • Several write‑ups and forum threads agree on one minimal point: Drogon went east to Essos , even if the exact city or region is unclear.
 * Within Essos, Old Valyria, Meereen, or an uninhabited region are the usual candidates.

What creators and later commentary hint at

  • Some coverage and explainer pieces lean hardest on Old Valyria, often treating it as the most fitting symbolic answer even while acknowledging it’s not canonically confirmed.
  • Discussions about Drogon after the finale still frame it as an open mystery, with the key “fact” being only that he flew east with Daenerys’s body.

Mini “forum-style” snapshot

Q: So where did Drogon take Daenerys?
A: On-screen: we only know he flew east toward Essos. Off-screen: the leading theory is Old Valyria, but Meereen, Dragonstone, or the Dothraki Sea are also popular guesses.

TL;DR

  • Canon answer: We don’t know ; the show only says Drogon flew east with Daenerys’s body.
  • Most common theory when people search “where did drogon take daenerys”: Old Valyria in Essos , the ancient Targaryen and dragon homeland.
