As a longtime fan of George R.R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” series, I found the introduction of the Green Men in the finale of House of the Dragon to be a truly captivating moment. With my years of immersion in Westeros lore, I immediately recognized their significance as an ancient order steeped in mystery and reverence. The brief but intriguing appearance of these enigmatic figures only serves to fuel my anticipation for what’s next in the series, as they could potentially play a pivotal role in shaping the future of Westeros. I eagerly await further developments and can hardly wait to see how their presence will intertwine with the ongoing struggles among the great houses.

As Daemon converse with Alys, prior to touching the tree, he gazes skyward to catch a glimpse of a mysterious figure in the shadows. Before vanishing, the creature’s footsteps echoed like those of a horse, and it was adorned with antlers on its head. Regrettably, the darkness was too profound to discern many specific details.

It’s plausible this individual belongs to the Green Men, a sacred group responsible for safeguarding the trees on the Isle of Faces – an island located in God’s Eye, directly opposite Harrenhal (the fortress you saw when Rhaenyra flew to meet Daemon). The Green Men were established specifically for this role, following a truce between the First Men and the Children of the Forest to put an end to their persistent conflict.

As a devoted enthusiast, I must admit that the mysterious Green Men remain shrouded in enigma, for boats are prohibited from approaching the Isle of Faces, thanks to the enigmatic order’s intervention. For countless generations, the tales whispered about the Green Men have been woven into the very fabric of Westeros’ history. Even Old Nan, a character I admire in ‘Game of Thrones,’ hinted at their unique physical attributes, suggesting they might possess antlers of their own, although some speculate they adorn headdresses instead.

In the final episode of House of the Dragon, the appearance of both the Isle of Faces and the Green Men could foreshadow a plotline for Season 3. Although no men were known to have sailed there, it’s rumored that Addam soared on his dragon, Seasmoke, to consult with the Green Men. Since Addam was seen flying above the island at the end of Season 2, the groundwork has been laid for him to start inquiring and possibly revisiting this forested isle, potentially leading to further developments in the story.

According to George R.R. Martin’s book “Fire & Blood”, the series “House of the Dragon” is set 200 years prior to the events depicted in “Game of Thrones”. In its second season, Westeros stands on the verge of a devastating civil war as the Green and Black Councils clash over their allegiance to King Aegon and Queen Rhaenyra. Fresh episodes of “House of the Dragon” air every Sunday at 9 p.m. ET on HBO.

The main actors in the series House of the Dragon are Matt Smith portraying Prince Daemon Targaryen, Olivia Cooke taking on the role of Dowager Queen Alicent Hightower, Emma D’Arcy as Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen, Eve Best playing Princess Rhaenys Targaryen, Steve Toussaint as Lord Corlys Velaryon, Fabien Frankel depicting Ser Criston Cole, Ewan Mitchell acting as Prince Aemond Targaryen, Tom Glynn-Carney as King Aegon II Targaryen, Sonoya Mizuno portraying Mysaria, and Rhys Ifans as Ser Otto Hightower.
