Daemon is your heir. 617 00:56:35,399 --> 00:56:37,919 Daemon was not made to wear the crown. 618 00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:40,000 But I believe that you were. 619 00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:43,840 Corlys of

00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:23,200 but the Iron Throne is the most dangerous seat in the realm. 632 00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:25,920 I, Lord Hobert High tower 633 00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:28,240 Beacon of the

00:58:21,679 --> 00:58:23,639 It might be difficult for you to understand 646 00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:25,440 but you must hear it. 647 00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:27,760 Our histories 648 00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:30,760 they tell us that Aegon looked across the Blackwater from Dragons tone 649 00:58:30,839 --> 00:58:33,320 saw a rich land ripe for the capture. 650 00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:37,600 But ambition alone is not what drove him to conquest. 651 00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:39,880 It was a dream. 652 00:58:40,439 --> 00:58:42,599 And just as Daenys foresaw the end of Valyria 653 00:58:42,679 --> 00:58:45,360 Aegon foresaw the end of the world of men. 654 00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:50,920 'Tis to begin with a terrible winter gusting out of the distant north. 655 00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:54,200 I, Rick on Stark, Lord of Winter fell... 656 00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:57,560 Aegon saw absolute darkness riding on those winds. 657 00:58:57,639 --> 00:59:01,239 And whatever dwells within will destroy the world of the living. 658 00:59:01,679 --> 00:59:04,800 When this Great Winter comes, Rhaenyra 659 00:59:04,879 --> 00:59:07,319 all of Westeros must stand against it. 660 00:59:07,599 --> 00:59:08,936 And if the world of men is to survive 661 00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:11,520 a Targaryen must be seated on the Iron Throne. 662 00:59:11,839 --> 00:59:13,479 A king or queen 663 00:59:13,559 --> 00:59:17,200 strong enough to unite the realm against the cold and the dark. 664 00:59:19,519 --> 00:59:22,360 Aegon called his dream "The Song of Ice and Fire." 665 00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:26,160 This secret 666 00:59:27,159 --> 00:59:29,879 it's been passed from king to heir since Aegon's time. 667 00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:33,680 Now you must promise to carry it 668 00:59:34,319 --> 00:59:35,759 and protect it. 669 00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:40,240 Promise me this, Rhaenyra. 670 00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:45,880 Promise me. 671 00:59:51,439 --> 00:59:56,640 I, Viserys Targaryen, first of his name 672
