"But Season 2 ended just moments before one of the most brutal moments in the entire dance: the Battle of the Gullet, a massive naval clash that results in a devastating loss for one side. After years left waiting after the cliffhanger, we finally have a glimpse of this huge event - and the fallout afterwards. Check out the trailer below:"
"This teaser picks up on a number of leftover threads from Season 2. Aside from the absolute carnage of the Battle of the Gullet, there's also mention of Rhaenyra's "new dragons," the fleet of illegitimate Targaryen "dragonseeds" she recruited in Season 2, and Alicent's visit to Dragonstone to strike an uneasy peace with Rhaenyra. There's even an appearance of Ormund Hightower (James Norton), Alicent's cousin who becomes a key part of this next stage of the Dance with Dragons."
"But perhaps one of the most intriguing parts of this teaser happens when we see Rhaenyra devastated with tears in her eyes while Daemon (Matt Smith) is heard saying, "This is the moment you become queen." If the series follows the book, this might just be one of the saddest moments in House of the Dragon so far."
Season 3 will finally depict the Battle of the Gullet, a massive naval clash that delivers a devastating loss to one side and reshapes the conflict. The teaser shows the battle's carnage and the immediate fallout for both camps. Rhaenyra's fleet of illegitimate Targaryen "dragonseeds" and her "new dragons" are highlighted as a continuing force. Alicent visits Dragonstone to negotiate an uneasy peace with Rhaenyra while Ormund Hightower appears as a key player in the next phase of the Dance with Dragons. A poignant moment shows Rhaenyra in tears while Daemon urges her toward queenship, signaling tragic consequences.
