When does a war begin? With the official declaration of hostilities? With some inciting incident, such as the murder of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914? Or, does a war begin when people believe it has begun, when enough anger has built up that a tipping point is inevitable?
A shrinking number of voices struggle to stem the violence threatening to overwhelm not just King's Landing but the whole of Westeros. The challenge is to guide the war, control it, and keep the dragons out of it.
Rhaenys' suggestion of a face-to-face meeting between Rhaenyra and Alicent to find a path to peace is deemed absurd given Rhaenyra's status as the most wanted woman in the Seven Kingdoms, yet she agrees to it.
The emotional turmoil faced by characters like Rhaenyra bidding farewell to her children highlights the personal sacrifices amid the larger political turmoil in House of the Dragon.
