The trailer opens with Rhaenys flying on her dragon, Meleys, to Dragonstone.
She warns Rhaenyra, "The greens are coming for you, Rhaenyra. And for your children."
Rhaenyra looks shocked, while Daemon seems unsurprised.
There are tears in Rhaenyra's eyes, no doubt over the fact that she's learned of her father's death, Alicent's betrayal, and the risk to her life and her children's lives all at once.
Daemon grabs his sword.
We get this shot of Dragonstone.
Then we see Rhaenyra watching someone.
It seems that it's Daemon, who is walking away from Rhaenyra as we hear him say, “You cannot bend the knee to the Hightowers. They stole your birthright.”
Next up, we see Aemond remove his eye patch.
Then we see a gathering around the painted table at Dragonstone, while we hear Rhaenys say, "Every man standing round the painted table urges her to plunge the realm into war."
There's this cool shot of a lit-up painted table from above.
Rhaenyra stares out at the sea.
Someone places something down on the Winterfell portion of the painted table.
A lord urges Rhaenyra to "lay siege to the Red Keep."
Someone places a sword alongside a bunch of other swords.
Meanwhile, Jace is begging his mother to "send us."
Someone — a Targaryen — clenches their fist around their sword.
That person — likely Jace — runs toward someone else on dragonback with their sword held high.
Another dark-haired person — likely Luke — stares up at Vhagar, who is standing near a castle.
Ser Erryk swears his loyalty to the queen while delivering Viserys's crown to Rhaenyra.
There's this shot of someone — Jace or Luke? — on dragonback.
Over this shot of Rhaenyra and her two eldest boys, we hear someone say, "Your cause holds a power that has not been seen since the days of Old Valyria."
Then there's this shot of Baela, Jace, Luke, and Rhaena at what seems to be Rhaenyra's war council.
A somewhat disheveled Rhaenyra stares at Daemon, and she doesn't look happy.
There's this close-up of a dragon eye.
Daemon places a torch on the ground.
Then he looks up.
And we see that he is standing in front of a dragon.
Next, we see THREE dragons leaving Dragonstone.
Then we get this shot of the dragon breathing fire while Daemon looks on.
Next, we see Daemon standing in front of Dragonstone and pulling out his sword as if to attack someone.
We see he's on the defense against someone arriving.
Finally, there's this shot of a dragon with its mouth wide open.
What are you hoping to see in the finale?
