A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms could finally solve a long-standing GOT mystery, which even House of the Dragon could not 

Some reports are speculating that A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (formerly titled The Hedge Knight) has the potential to answer one of the biggest lingering mysteries from Game of Thrones that even House of the Dragon was not able to.

In House of Dragon, King Viserys I Targaryen reveals to Rhaenyra a prophetic dream handed down from Aegon the Conqueror. The dream was a warning about the coming threat from the North, that is, the White Walkers. He believed it was the responsibility of the Targaryens to unite Westeros to face this danger. Now the question arises — Was Aegon the Conqueror’s Dream passed down after the Dance of the Dragons?

Read on to explore the complete mystery A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms could answer.

Here is what A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms might reveal and solve a long-lost mystery

As mentioned, King Viserys I Targaryen's dream comes as a threat from White Walkers, and the king believed that it was his responsibility to unite Westeros against the danger. But after the bloody Targaryen civil war portrayed in Dance of the Dragons, it’s unclear whether that knowledge survived or whether future Targaryen kings, like Aegon V, knew about it.

A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms is set around 70 years after House of the Dragon and follows Ser Duncan the Tall (Dunk) and his squire Egg, who will one day become King Aegon V Targaryen. This puts the show in a perfect position to reveal whether Aegon’s Dream was still known among the Targaryens, keeping in mind the Egg's royal bloodline and his eventual rise to the throne.

The show can also answer if Egg was told about it by his father or other family members. Or whether the prophecy was lost, which would explain why it doesn’t come up again until Jon Snow’s time. This makes him a prime candidate for when the knowledge of the dream could have been dropped or deliberately withheld. But maybe nobody chooses to tell him, thinking that he won't be the ruler in the future. Or maybe Egg was told — and either didn’t believe it or failed to pass it on to his heirs.

Egg's vision might reignite the thread of the prophecy in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms might showcase Egg's visions, which could again offer a thread to the prophecy and re-establish the link between Game of Thrones and let the viewers know where the Targaryens abandoned their mission or tragically forgot it.

It’s confirmed that Egg (Aegon V) is one of the rare Targaryens with prophetic dreams, like Aegon the Conqueror and Daenerys the Dreamer. This means even if no one tells him about Aegon’s original prophecy, Egg could independently dream of the threat of the Long Night. That makes his arc more than just political — it turns him into a possible spiritual or mystical heir to Aegon’s burden.

This suggests that he might see the White Walkers, fire and ice, and even future events of Game of Thrones, therefore giving audiences some new insights into how these ancient warnings were meant to shape history.
