Errors were made in the hours
following King Viserys' death.
The war will be fought
many will die
and the victim eventually is on the throne.
It's a war between King
There is no war so hateful to the gods.
and no more so bloody as a war between dragons.
Welcome back everyone
It's Charlie, Happy House of the Dragon Day
They dropped a brand new House of the Dragon Season 2 trailer.
There's a bunch of Easter eggs here, a bunch of chaos.
It's not the entire season, but it is a lot of the season.
Most of the big battle footage.
Seems like it's only up to like the halfway point through the season.
So we'll break it all down.
If you're brand new to the channel,
of course I'll be doing episode videos for everything, just like I did for season one for the main show.
so. Be sure to subscribe to get everything But obviously the important stuff first
it says they're dropping the season during summer next year 2024.
That probably means somewhere in June or July, just starting at the beginning of the trailer footage,
working our way through, shot by shot,
talking about Easter eggs wtf moments and there are many many WTF moments.
Some of them are a little bit easier to identify than others.
They start with auto high towers.
VOICEOVER Talking about the errors quote unquote in the hours following King versus his death
with Rhaenyra on Dragonstone looking out over the bay.
she's looking out over storms and in house but at the end like the actual keep
because she's thinking about her son's death at the hands of Aemond and Vhagar R.I.P.
Lucerys that's why she looks so haggard because this seems like it's happening
right after the moments of the ending of season one Episode ten.
I think they did say that season two would begin moments after that.
in Auto Hightower's voiceover is obviously just talking about what they did during the events of episode nine
when right after King versus is that they moved to lock all the blacks
that were there in their rooms so that they couldn't do anything while they crowned Aegon the second.
It sounds like he's inside a hall talking to someone.
Maybe he's talking to the blacks. Maybe he's talking to Rhaenyra.
Why else would he be apologizing to someone in a hall that way about them taking the iron throne from out
under her feet Then we actually see Aegon ascending to the Iron throne wearing Aegon the conkers crown.
I think the men walking behind him in the green robes are just part of the Hightower's regular army.
the people right behind him would be his Kings Guard.
They've obviously changed the King's guard a little bit since he took the iron throne.
Basically all meant to be people that support him, support the Greens and remember
all the other lords and ladies, all the other parts of court here
that are bowing to him as he takes the iron throne, are people that they forced
to swear fealty to the Greens, otherwise they would have killed them.
then we see Daemon put on his trademark dragon
armor heading into battle because of all the greenery.
This could be in the riverlands it could be adherent hall, It could be somewhere else.
It doesn't look like dragons.
So just because there's too much greenery outside the windows,
then we get the voiceover from Alicent talking to her father, Otto Hightower, saying
the war will be fought with a picture of the blacks army preparing for battle here with all their tents.
we see the green army.
I'm not sure where they are in this moment exactly.
This might be them marching on dusk and Dale.
This might be before the sack of dusk.
And Dale, things don't seem super crazy yet like it seems pretty chill because of the muddy terrain here.
I think this is dusk and dale that they're about to sack.
this beach here might be on Dragonstone.
This might be them assembling the dragon seeds.
this is probably Kristin called beheading Lord Dusk and Dale after the successful sack of dusk.
And Dale, he was a supporter of Rhaenyra and the blacks.
in also zooming in.
He has noticed that he's wearing the chain of the hand of the king, meaning that he's replaced
Otto Hightower as aegon's hand of the king, a lot of the big battles that will happen
during season two actually come after he's replaced Otto Hightower as hand of the king.
one of the reasons for that is because Aegon actually grew impatient thinking
that Otto Hightower was making the wrong call, trying to bargain with Raniere
and find a less bloody resolution to their civil war.
if you can believe it, Otto Hightower, of all people who was in favor of them
usurping the Iron Throne from Rhaenyra actually, initially,
the beginning of the season wanted to find a less bloody resolution to this problem.
Kristen, Cole and Aegon, however, had a much, much different idea about how to take care of that.
They wanted all out war.
that's why Kristen Cole just seems so out for blood during all the parts of this trailer.
so Aegon basically fires Otto Hightower replaces him
with Kristen Clarke who advocates for the sack of Duncan Dale.
Then the battle at Rooks Rose, which is where all the big battle scenes come from during this trailer
we see Aegon sitting on the Iron Throne with Aegon, the Conqueror's crown
and then Rhaenyra with her father versus crown.
this looks like potentially one of the dragons sees the white dragon would be see smoke
this might be happening on Drift Mark, which is where sea smoke
has been resting since Lena Valerian disappeared.
Most people thought that he died. That was part of the whole ruse.
but one of the big things during season two is that they're searching for the dragon seeds
so that they can actually activate their unused dragons,
that all the blacks that Daemon really are a control see smoke being one of them.
this looks like the green army at the battle of Rooks rest about to begin the battle.
the actual battle is meant to take place around episode four like the middle of the season.
Basically it'll be like their big WTF moment that cut the season in half.
Then we get the voiceover from Princess Rhaenys, who's talking to Rhaenyra, talking
about the dance of the Dragons. Basically, there's no war.
This is hateful to the gods as one within the family, essentially.
while they're in the map table room at Dragonstone, looking out over their battle plans.
we briefly see Corlys Velaryon.
He only appears once in the trailer here, as far as I know.
not totally sure who Daemon is attacking here, who is hacking away at there, we get the shot of Aemond
in the dark in the Iron Throne room, staring at the empty iron throne, the whole thing about that.
But normally you would think, wait, does he trying to usurp the iron throne from his brother Aegon
the only thing about that is you have to remember that Aemond.
Even though it seems like he covets his sister Helaena.
actually has this very Ned Stark, like, adherence to duty and honor.
So even if he thinks that he would be better on the Iron Throne, he's not going to try and usurp
his brother.
He's still going to support the natural order, as the Greens see it,
which would be Aegon being the rightful heir as the way that they see it.
maybe we'll see some conflict within him during the events of season two, Season three.
Like the whole idea is that he feel like he'd be a better king than Aegon,
but he's not going to try and take the iron throne from his brother
Remember though, during the events of season one when Aegon was like, I don't want it.
Like he pulled a Jon Snow on almond when Amy was trying to drag him
kicking and screaming to his coronation, he basically told Aemond, You take it,
you take the iron throne Notice they've placed the green banners behind it to
this is meant to be the Green's banner for House Targaryen with the gold sigil on it. day.
We get our first shot of the North in a long, long time.
So this is probably on their way to house stark it could be on their way to the wall.
This might be the stark men, it could be the night's watch.
We will see how stark we will see Winterfell.
We'll see Cregan Stark.
there's, like a whole bloody civil war that how Stark fought internally with itself
during the big time jump during the events of season one that we'll get into during
season two at some point there's like a whole other video that I could do.
I actually did a video on Cregan start talking a little bit about that, so I'll post links for it
in the description below, But essentially, Cregan and House Stark become big supporters of Rhaenyra
because he went through
pretty much the same thing that just happened to rain or is in the middle of happening to Rhaenyra right now
with someone trying to take her throne from her another person.
Within House Stark tried to take, how stark from Cregan Stark, who was the rightful heir.
this looks like Allison in what might be the Riverlands.
there's a lot of chaos in the riverlands during season two.
Then we see Rhaenyra with Cyrus on the beach.
Maybe Dragonstone may be drift marked with whoever seems like they wind up writing sea smoke.
This might be one of the whole brothers they cast Adam Hall from the books and Allen Hall
who are going to be dragons these during season two And neither one of them will be like a secret version
of Eleanor who's coming back pretending to be one of the whole brothers,
this is just a wide shot from the outside of King's landing, showing you the dragon pit with the red key,
obviously the Dragon Pit in center of frame because of all the dragons
a big part of Rainey's warning to Rhaenyra is about this civil war between the family
with the Dragons like nothing is going to be as bad as this giant war
we're going to fight in all the dragons of the chaos is going to cause.
this is actually Helaena in her morning gown.
That's where she's got the fabric over her face.
I don't want to get too deep into this because this is after the events of blood and cheese.
If you've read the books, you know what blood and cheese are.
You know how crazy it's going to be.
There are a couple blood and cheese moments
here later in the trailer that's basically going to be episode one.
Like they will start the season with blood and cheese when they dropped the official posters
for season two, basically said blood for blood, Blood for blood.
An eye for an eye. A son for a son.
this is the procession with the cart with their bodies being led through the streets of King's Landing,
while they're all in mourning,
all these shots of them fighting in the woods, running through the woods on horseback.
Seem like they're from the battle at Rooks Rest,
I think the person on horseback here might be Kristen called the fire burning.
The Green's siege weapon here would belong to Princess Rhaenys and her dragon Meraxes.
These who was the only dragon belonging to the blacks fighting at Rooks
against Aegon, who was on Sun Fire in Aemond on Vhagar are who we see later in the trailer.
So it's like two dragons against one during this battle.
but part of the idea is that Princess Rhaenys was way, way more experienced on Dragon back
way better fighter than both Aemond and Aegon.
Then Princess Rhaenys is reminding Rhaenyra no war is bloody as a war between dragons,
meaning that we're going to see actual dragons fighting during season two.
A lot of people been waiting for that,
like one of the promises of House of the Dragon, a bunch of dragons fighting each other in the air.
It's going to be crazy.
not exactly sure what's going on here, but this is Princess Baela on her dragon moondancer
screaming also not totally sure what the chaos in King's Landing is going on here.
This might be either the sack of King's Landing or they might think the king's landing
is in danger of being sacked.
And that's why Alicent is running around in chaos.
the actual sack of King's landing seems more like a season three kind of moment for House of the Dragon.
Daemon seems like he's inside a cave.
So this might be inside the dragon Mont on Dragonstone.
Then some of you probably guessed this is blood and cheese in episode one, grabbing Helaena Targaryen.
Like I said, if you know you know, please don't post spoilers for Blood and Cheese in the comments below.
it is going to be crazy.
this is more of kristen call of the battle a rooks rest this looks like the battle of the Cargill brothers.
They might be at King's Landing here.
Not exactly sure which room they're in when this is happening.
part of the idea is that the Cargyll twins are on opposite sides of the dance of the Dragons.
They wind up battling each other.
it leans very heavily into the metaphor of family against family
with the targaryens, the greens and the blacks going at each other.
there are a couple of shots almond on Vhagar then immediately to Rhaenyra on Syrax.
But here's the thing that's not actually happening in the same moment.
Like they're not fighting each other on Dragon back because at least in the books, Rhaenyra
never actually fights any of the other dragons when she's on Syrax.
Maybe they've changed that for the TV show a little bit.
It would be a big change in the books, but in the books it was one of the big reasons why some of the small
folk did not support Rhaenyra because she didn't actually do any fighting on Syrax.
a lot of people felt like she was forcing everyone else to fight her battles for her.
She didn't actually fight in any of the battles herself.
Aemond, however, fought a ton, a ton of battles on Vhagar
He loved that which we see with him on Vhagar at the battle at Rooks Rest.
then we get the logo in a bunch of fire.
So obviously there's a ton of crazy stuff going on in the trailer here.
But like I said, it seems like most of this footage is from like the first half of the season,
maybe like a little bit
from the second half of the season, but mostly the first half is just meant to be the teaser trailer.
if there's any Easter Eggs
or references that you spotted in the trailer that I didn't talk about in the video, just write them
below in the comments or any big questions you have about stuff that happens in the trailer.
I will do more bonus videos as we get more footage and learn more about the actual season
because it's Brazil. Comic-Con sees the XP.
There are a bunch of other trailer videos
that are dropping this weekend, so I'll do videos for them as fast as possible.
Like the boys Season four.
