Here’s what Daemon’s strange final vision in the House of the Dragon finale actually meant

But why did the Night King look so off brand?

4 months ago

Well, whatever your thoughts are on the House of the Dragon finale, the final vision of Daemon at Harrenhal was quite a lot to take in. I was really starting to tire of them, but they definitely saved the best vision for last, if not just for all those cameos! However, there was something about the Night King that looked so off and it was slightly terrifying.

From seeing Daenerys again to the White Walkers, and potentially even his own death, a lot was packed into the vision. But what exactly did the final vision of Daemon actually mean in the House of the Dragon finale? Let’s unpack it all.

What we saw in Daemon’s vision: #HouseOfTheDragon

During the House of the Dragon finale, Daemon was constructed by Alys Rivers to touch the creepy Weirwood Tree in Harrenhal and receive a vision. Once he did, Daemon saw a huge variation of future events including the Three Eyed Raven, White Walkers, Daemon drowning and Daenerys with her dragons.

The scene showing the White Walkers and Night King helps to incentivise Daemon to return to Rhaenyra, as whilst the attack doesn’t happen for another 175 years later, Daemon doesn’t know that. Instead, Daemon now knows Westeros could come under attack at any time and since his vision also showed Rhaenyra sitting on the throne, he pledges his allegiance to her.

He also saw fan favourite Daenerys, which some fans think is proof she is the Prince That Was Promised. She appeared along with her three dragons Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion. Seeing a Targaryen and the important role they have to play in the future yet again makes Daemon realise the importance of ensuring their family name lives on and is able to protect Westeros from the looming threat.

Whilst Daemon has already been told by Alys Rivers that he’ll die at Harrenhal, it seems he saw how. In the vision, he sees a battlefield and a dead dragon, followed by a shot of him drowning. In the book, Daemon dies after fighting Aemond above Harrenhal, and after stabbing Aemond in the eye he falls off his dragon and to his death. His body is never found, however, leading some to think that Daemon actually becomes the Night King.
