A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms‘ first season could have come to an finish, however Dunk (Peter Claffey) and Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell) have extra adventures forward of them.
The present has already been renewed for a second season, and there are extra of George R. R. Martin’s Dunk and Egg tales to attract from, so the eye now turns to what could be subsequent for our intrepid duo.
The factor is, though Dunk seems to finish the season with out realizing precisely the place he needs to go subsequent, the clues do level to 1 apparent vacation spot. Let’s unpack.
What occurs with Dunk and Egg on the finish of the finale?
Dunk goes from being a person with nowhere to be in the beginning of the season to a person fielding a number of provides on the finish of the season — however ultimately, it is the open highway and the hedge knight life that calls to him.
After confirming to his new buddy Raymun Fossoway (Shaun Thomas) that he does not plan to go again to Storm’s Finish with Ser Lyonel Baratheon (Daniel Ings), Dunk takes his horses and begins to make a transfer. “I do not know, Chestnut, cease asking me,” he mutters. “The place would the previous man go?”
Mashable Prime Tales
As he is heading off, although, Egg catches up with him, mendacity to Dunk that his father has given him permission to be Dunk’s squire. As they’re setting off on their horses, the 2 have the next alternate:
Egg: “The place are we going, ser?”
Dunk: “Do not know. I suppose we may go wherever within the seven kingdoms, although I’ve by no means been to D—”
Egg: “9.”
Dunk: “What?”
Egg: “There are 9 kingdoms, ser.”
Dunk: “Of what?”
Egg: “The realm.”
Dunk: “Are you mad?”
Egg: “Is that related?”
Dunk: “There are seven kingdoms of the realm, boy. Everybody is aware of that.”
Egg: “Then everyone seems to be incorrect.”
Dunk: “Would you like a clout within the ear?”
Egg: “Crownlands, Westerlands, Stormlands, Riverlands, the Iron Islands, the North, the Attain, the Vale of Arryn, and Dorne.”
Dunk: “No, however…”
Egg: “I’ve by no means been over the Crimson Mountains earlier than. I hear they’ve good puppet reveals in Dorne.”
We finish the season with out realizing for certain the place they’re headed subsequent. However on the identical time, the clues all appear to be pointing in the identical path.
The place will Dunk and Egg go subsequent?
We all know that after fleeing Ashford, Tanselle (Tanzyn Crawford) and her band of puppeteers fled to Dorne — therefore Egg’s last remark about “good puppet reveals.” Earlier than he is interrupted by Egg, Dunk additionally appears to be about to say, “I’ve by no means been to Dorne,” and Egg’s remark about by no means having “been over the Crimson Mountains” refers back to the mountain vary that separates Dorne from their present location in The Attain.
If you happen to look intently on the last shot of them using by the sector, you may even spot a mountain within the distance — presumably the Crimson Mountains that Egg is speaking about.
The conclusion? Except it is all an enormous purple herring, it appears fairly clear that Dunk and Egg are no less than planning to go to Dorne subsequent. Whether or not they’ll already be there by the point Season 2 rolls spherical, or will nonetheless be on their approach, is one other query.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is now streaming on HBO Max.
