House of the Dragon Season 2 | EPISODE 8 'Season Finale' PROMO TRAILER | Max

The inspiration behind this video:

Alys Rivers’ cryptic words in House of the Dragon season 2, episode 6 subtly link to Bran Stark’s memorable ending in Game of Thrones, which could formalize House Targaryen’s Three-Eyed Raven connection in the show's canon. As Alys Rivers plays a more active role in Daemon’s vision-heavy Harrenhal story, her character’s mysterious nature is becoming increasingly reminiscent of who Bran Stark became in Game of Thrones’ last few seasons. From her seemingly all-knowing nature to her frequent allusions to the powerful weirwood trees, Alys gives House of the Dragon an intriguing exploration of the magic linked to the First Men and Old Gods.

When Daemon tries fleeing Harrenhal in House of the Dragon season 2, episode 6, Alys stops him and says that when something goes wrong, he always runs. She even mentions Daemon fleeing to the Stepstones, to Pentos, and then to Harrenhal – details she seemingly shouldn’t know as a healer in the Riverlands. Siting by the weirwood tree, Alys discusses a “living memory,” things much older than them, the two being pieces on a board instead of players, and that those who don’t want to rule are better suited for it. When puzzling her speech to Daemon together, it sounds quite like Bran’s Game of Thrones journey.
