House of the Dragonfinale took a lot away from Rhaenyra and turned her into the Black Queen.

And it finally comes, and shes in labor, and essentially, house ridden.
With the bad news Rhaenyra is also suffering a miscarriage.
Yaitanes explains that the theme Miguel wanted, was war and battlefield.

Hence, shes at war with herself, with her own body.
“Theres a lot of emotional complexity, in terms of this war thats starting without her.
And its tearing her apart, literally tearing her apart, he said.
It neatly brings us back to episode 1, where her mother suffers and dies.
Yaitanes explains, Really, once the war is coming, you see Daemon preparing.
That power struggle is alive and well, all inside of a marriage.
And Rhaenyra is very much her fathers daughter.
So war banners are being called and finally, Rhaenyra has to see her two sons becoming men.
Adding, and I think sending her sons away is the start of the end of that stability.
House of Dragonis available to stream on HBO Max.
