It appears that King’s Landing is soon to be contested, but the aftermath of the Gullet is pressing as well. Aemond heads to Harrenhal while Aegon and Larys find themselves prisoners. Thanks to “The Weeks Ahead” trailer and those from before the season began, we have predictions for episode 2 and beyond.

As the stakes rise, the game of thrones in Greece continues to get bloodier. Epaminondas aims to strike directly at Spartan power and Agesilaus, but faces political enemies back at home, while Pelopidas heads north to deal with chaos of the two Alexanders of Macedon and Pherae. Athens takes the opportunity to return to their old tricks. This one includes the Spartan assassin society, new cities, an escalation of the Persian Great Satraps Revolt for Artaxerxes to deal with, and the education of the most famous Philip of the ancient world.

“We’ve come to die for the dragon queen,” said Roddy the Ruin of the Winter Wolves, a group of fearless greybeards from the North sent in advance of Lord Cregan Stark’s greater forces, and the only army in the Dance of the Dragons that didn’t want to survive, let alone return home. We explore their glorious deeds and battles alongside the cultural history that drove them to fight as ferociously as they did.

We return to the action immediately following the Battle of Leuctra where Sparta reeled from unexpected defeat. Yet a new determination emerged in King Agesilaus - who reminded his countrymen that his nemesis hadn’t beaten *him*. Meanwhile Thebes, under Epaminondas and Pelopidas, was suddenly the spearpoint of a new Greece, what would they do with this windfall of power? This certainly disrupted the expectations and plans of the biggest players like Jason of Pherae and Great King Artaxerxes of Persia - both of whom simultaneously faced internal threats. In this episode many notable names will meet their end!

House of the Dragon has a second teaser and a release date - June 21st! There’s a huge surprise in this one - a character we all (including GRRM) thought was cut. Plus some very curious shots and dialogue for us to puzzle and geek out over. Video is preferred due to the many images, but here is an album with all the screenshots for those listening with audio only! https://ibb.co/album/ZG4pHj
