Matt Smith as Daemon in House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 8
The Big Picture In House of the Dragon, we've already seen just how creepy Harrenhal can be with its role in the second season, but one of the more mysterious aspects of the castle to its south is known only as the Gods Eye. Once home to many of the same weirwood trees still growing on the island, they were cut down by Harren Hoare for his vanity project and later burned with the castle during the Conquest, possibly creating the curse that now inhabits Harrenhal.
When the Andals invaded and wiped out most of the Children of the Forest, they were still unable to conquer the island, and there are rumors that small pockets of them might still exist there still. Nobody knows for sure, though, as the island is still viewed as off limits. Even those who attempt to cross have been unsuccessful, repelled by windstorms and flocks of ravens.
1 The Gods Eye Might Explain the Curse of Harrenhal Close For most of recorded history, the Gods Eye has remained a sacred place, but literally and figuratively overshadowed by Harremhal. Even the weirwood trees, which the Isle of Faces is known for, are ignored in favor of the Godswood for the worship of the Old Gods. In some ways, this might be understandable, as Harrenhal feels so overwhelming in both history and scale.
SPOILER ALERT! The section below contains major spoilers for the end of the Dance of the Dragons, according to the book Fire & Blood.
