to raise alliances and command our vassals.

After Cole smashes it,

Harrenhal is

They are what
make us fully alive as mortal men.

I see it as a loss

He's covered himself
in glory, to be sure.

worry for him?

could only
reach so far.

the, uh,
voices of history, as you say,

362
00:25:06,214 --> 00:25:10,677

Some kind of maester? - In a manner of speaking.

I inherited the duties
after the last one fled in the night.

that grew on these lands.
373
00:25:43,168 --> 00:25:45,378
Heart trees, imbued
with the spirits of those

who lived long
before he came.

00:25:47,505 --> 00:25:51,217

can still be heard sometimes. - A midwife's tale.
376
00:25:51,259 --> 00:25:54,888
Mm, the very bed
you sleep in was made from such a heart tree.

anything... of note?

I'm a barn owl.

my lord bent the knee

536
00:35:09,275 --> 00:35:11,903

539
00:35:18,576 --> 00:35:20,578
I went

540

To what possible end?
541
00:35:23,248 --> 00:35:25,583
To meet Queen Alicent
and sue for peace.
542

- Rhaenyra: Yes, I did.

I inherited
80 years of peace from my father.

Before I was
to end it,
546
00:35:36,344 --> 00:35:39,347
I needed to know
that there was no other path.
547
00:35:41,933 --> 00:35:43,518
And now I do.
548
00:35:47,105 --> 00:35:49,107
Only one choice
remains to me:
549
00:35:49,107 --> 00:35:53,361
either I win my claim
or die.
550
00:35:54,988 --> 00:35:57,282

on Rook's Rest.

just hours away
554
00:36:04,205 --> 00:36:07,292

ravens took wing. - Why Rook's Rest?
555

556
00:36:08,710 --> 00:36:10,837

Alfred:
'Cause Lord Staunton is a member of this council.
558
00:36:14,632 --> 00:36:18,595
And because his castle
is small and vulnerable and there for the taking.
559
