"A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms may be a completely new tone for the Game of Thrones universe, but it's still a prequel book, meaning when we meet many of the characters at the tourney in Ashford, we already know how they meet their end, at least in book canon. Aerion Targaryen is burned alive when he decides to drink wildfire to activate his inner dragon, and his brother Daeron perishes after contracting an STD, an apt ending for the royal family's party boy."
"HBO But Ansell told a different story. "I do know a bit about when Egg's trying to make dragons in the Summerhall, and there's a huge fire," he said. "But we know from George [R.R. Martin] Dunk survives, but we don't know if Egg survives yet." This is actually new knowledge to everyone, and Peter Claffey shows a bit of a panicked response."
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms functions as a prequel with many tournament characters having known fates in book canon. Aerion Targaryen dies by drinking wildfire to awaken his inner dragon. Daeron dies after contracting an STD. A recent slip-up revealed that Dunk survives the Summerhall fire while Egg's fate remains uncertain. Dunk's survival would remove him from later Westerosi history and implies he used the catastrophe to abandon the Kingsguard. A leading theory proposes Dunk retired to Tarth if he sought a quiet life after escaping Summerhall.
