Who’s on Team Black and Team Green in House of the Dragon?

Spoilers below.

Civil war has been unfolding throughout this season of House of the Dragon, and in the upcoming season finale, it all seems to come to a head. (You saw people getting on battle ships and suiting up in armor, right?) Over the past few weeks, both sides of the divided House Targaryen, the greens, supporting King Aegon, and the blacks, supporting Queen Rhaenyra, have sought out allies, armies, and maybe even a few new dragonriders around Westeros. So where does everyone stand? Here, we track the key players of the greens and blacks, as well as those who have sworn loyalty to them—for now.
