00:00Welcome back everyone it is Amelia I hope you are fine.
00:09Rhaenys Targaryen enters the battle for the blacks and does a terrific job in dealing
00:14a blow to the greens, eliminating hundreds of armed forces and sending King Aegon to
00:19the ground.
00:20She could have left matters like that, making it an astounding victory for the blacks despite
00:25the loss of Rook's rest.
00:26But she decides to turn around and hold her ground, taking on the far bigger Vhagar.
00:31It's a massive risk, but Rhaenys seems resigned to her fate and decides to go down fighting.
00:36Rhaenys' death is confirmed, and it has bigger implications for Rhaenyra going forward.
00:41Rhaenys is the wife of Corlys Velaryon, Rhaenyra's most powerful ally, and he'll be quite upset
00:46by her death, creating discourse among the blacks.
00:49After all, he's already distrustful of Rhaenyra and Daemon, and it was Rhaenys who brought
00:54their house over to the blacks in the first place.
00:57Not to mention, their side has lost one of its most powerful dragonriders, weakening
01:01their position going forward.
01:03As the battle of Rook's rest begins, it's spliced with a scene of Rhaenyra telling Jaeserys
01:08of the Aegon's dream prophecy, which was passed down to her by Vysaes in season 1.
01:13Jaeserys is Rhaenyra's heir, and she was likely to tell him at some point, but this is a pivotal
01:19moment for her to do so.
01:20Rhaenys is sending a dragonrider out to war, elevating the stakes and danger of the Dance
01:25of the Dragons, and she wants to ensure that Aegon's dream is secured as best as possible.
01:31With the war truly beginning and chaos erupting, Jaeserys has to know the larger stakes at
01:36risk.
01:37In Fire and Blood, Aegon is complicit in Cole and Aemon's plan to ambush the blacks at Rook's
01:42rest, and he rides with his brother to attack Rhaenys.
01:45While fighting both brothers, Rhaenys and Melis still manage to deal a near-fatal blow
01:49to King Aegon but eventually fall to Aemon.
01:52The biggest change in the episode is that Aemon betrays his brother, hoping to seize
01:56the crown for himself.
01:58Rhaenys is also never described as having the opportunity to escape after bringing down
02:03Aegon.
02:04With the Battle of Rook's Rest, the Dance of the Dragons has officially begun, setting
02:08even more events into motion.
02:10On both sides, there will be political discourse following the event.
02:14With Aegon severely injured, Aemon rules King's Landing in his steed, bringing the green smoke
02:19competence and making them more dangerous for the blacks.
02:22Corlys Velaryon will be quite unhappy with the loss of his wife, likely leading to tension
02:27between him and Rhaenyra.
02:29There will be more battles to come, but Rook's Rest is likely the main stage for Season 2,
02:34and the rest of the season should be spent with the blacks trying to replenish their
02:38dragon-rider force.
02:39There are many untamed dragons roaming Dragonstone and Driftmark, and the blacks have already
02:44mentioned welcoming potential riders to try and claim them.
02:48Many of House of the Dragons Season 2's new characters will attempt to mount dragons,
02:53immediately making them crucial players in the war.
02:55There's a lot to be excited about with the rest of House of the Dragons sophomore season.
