* ''Series/GameOfThrones'':
** In the series' backstory, the alliance of Great Houses who made up the core of [[GreatOffscreenWar Robert's Rebellion]] used the motif, as emphasized by their [[AnimalMotifs animal sigils]]. The Starks of the North (direwolf) and the Baratheons of the Stormlands (stag) were Land, the Tullys of the Riverlands (fish) were Sea, and the Arryns of the Vale (eagle) were Sky.
** When Daenerys Targaryen sets out for Westeros at the end of season 6, her military forces display this motif: In addition to an army of Dothraki cavalry and Unsullied infantry, she commands the guerilla-specialist troops of Dorne and the heavily armored knights of the Reach (Land). She possesses a large fleet of ships claimed from the defeated Masters' of Slaver's Bay and is allied with the formidable sailors of the Ironborn (Sea). As the crowning jewel - and one that no other army in the world can currently match - her three dragons have finally reached a size that makes them formidable weapons capable of annihilating vast armies from a safe distance (Sky).
* ''Series/HouseOfTheDragon'': By the end of Season 1, the CivilWar that would later become known as the Dance of Dragons is about to erupt. The Blacks - the faction supporting Rhaenyra Targaryen - assesses its strengths and need for alliances against the Greens- the faction supporting Rhaenyra's half-brother Aegon.
** In the sky, they have a numerical advantage - 13 dragons to the Greens' 4 - but the Greens have Vhagar, the biggest living dragon. To even the odds, they seek to have the second biggest dragon, Vermithor, ridden by someone for their side.
** At sea, they have a significant advantage, being allied with the Velaryons - the best mariners in Westeros - against the Green-aligned Lannisters.
** On land however, they don't have many Houses rallied to them yet. They attempt to gain support from the Starks, Arryns, and Baratheons, but the latter side with the Greens.
