  "account": "The Battle of Tumbleton in House of the Dragon Season 3 culminated in significant casualties. Daemon Targaryen survived the confrontation but sustained a severe beating from Ser Jon Roxton. Corlys Velaryon, despite losing a finger, largely avoided the battle's direct impact. Gwayne Hightower, Corlys' son, managed to survive the aftermath. Daeron Targaryen, though not confirmed dead on-screen, likely survived the fiery explosion that occurred during the assault on Tumbleton. Hugh Hammer, Ulf the White, Jon Roxton, Oscar Tully, and Alysanne Blackwood also survived the battle. However, Roderick Dustin, the leader of the Winter Wolves, was killed when he was ordered not to die until the main gate fell at Tumbleton and met his demise engulfed in Silverwing's dragonfire.",
