Be sure to subscribe if you enjoyed this video! What do you think? Is there anything I missed? Do you think this arc should've been included in #gameofthrones? What do you think of #houseofthedragon so far? More #asoiaf content is on the way!

Thank you all for watching! I'll be back with more theories next week!
