Even Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) clings to it as a reason for her to rule.
Is That the Three-Eyed Raven and Bloodraven Sitting in the Roots?
Daemon first sees a man trapped in the roots of a tree but unbothered.
The reign of House Targaryen begins with this prequel to the popular HBO seriesGame of Thrones.Based on George R.R. Martin’sFire & Blood,House of the Dragonis set nearly 200 years beforeGame of Thrones, telling the story of the Targaryen civil war with King Viserys.
This scene offers more evidence that Bloodraven has appeared before.
LikeHouse of the Dragon’s portrayal, the Three-eyed Raven has both eyes and is not albino.
InGame of Thrones,he is even missing the birthmark.
The vision also marks the return of the more literal three-eyed raven, which appears inBran’s vision.
The bird seems to guide Daemon in his vision.

In fact, they have already started dying inHouse of the Dragon, but there are more to go.
When Daemon first came to Harrenhal, Alys predicted his death, and that’s what he sees.
While it is unconfirmed that he drowned, that is the most likely outcome of his situation.
And, at one point in his life, Daemon would have done exactly that.
