Transcript

00:00The Brackens and the Blackwoods are really the Hatfields and McCoys of this time period.

00:07They hate each other, they're neighbors.

00:09This is our land. It's Brackenland.

00:16The Blackwoods and the Brackens are two houses that have been feuding for years and years and years.

00:22And the Battle of the Burning Mill is where it all comes to a head.

00:28You wouldn't dare.

00:31The Blackwoods and the Brackens have feuded for centuries.

00:34This is nothing more than an excuse for them to indulge their ancient grudge. It's no true war.

00:39Call it what you will, I call it war.

00:43The Brackens and the Blackwoods have the two largest standing armies in the Riverlands,

00:47because they're always ready to fight each other.

00:49So part of winning over the Riverlands is disentangling this eternal conflict

00:54between the Brackens and the Blackwoods and getting them both on sides,

00:57which of course is the thing that Daemon is charged with and has to do,

01:00and probably doesn't suit his skill set particularly well.

01:03Perhaps the presence of the crown and a dragon will sharpen minds around these parts.

01:11These are not a people that can be forced into submission.

01:14And Daemon approaches life always trying to hammer that square peg into the round hole.

01:19He's just trying to force his will upon this place and wrangle Harrenhal into place

01:24and the Brackens and the Blackwoods to just do as he wills.

01:27If you are successful, what then?

01:30We march on King's Landing and take the throne.

01:49.
