It clearly depicts four dragons, a host of bowing horses, and a comet flying through the sky. The final image is a little bit more complicated. The third image from Game of ThronesвЂ™ new opening HBO While this is a memorable moment in the show, itвЂ™s also a reminder of how Winterfell came under the rule of the Stark children, and their guests, who are the main focus of this episode. A Direwolf hangs from the arch between itвЂ™s two high towers. Between them stands the Twins, the castle of the FreyвЂ™s where the Red Wedding happened. In the same house sigil-based characterizations from the old opening, we see a flayed man - representing house Bolton - holding up the head of a wolf, Robb Stark, to an appraising, but pleased lion, meant to represent Tywin Lannister who orchestrated the plot. The second image from Game of ThronesвЂ™ new opening HBO This carving seems to be a depiction of the Red Wedding. ItвЂ™s an effective reminder of just how high the stakes are this season and the unforgettable end to season 7. In front of the wall, the Night KingвЂ™s dead soldiers wait to enter the rest of Westeros, on the other side, crows flee south. The first image from Game of ThronesвЂ™ new opening HBO The first thing we see in the new sequence is an image that appears to be Viserion burning a hole through the Wall, with the Night King on his back. The images engraved into season 8вЂ™s title sequence offers a more recent history - or, if your theory brain is wired for clues, a glimpse of the future. A brief reminder of some of the most important historical events that preceded the events of Game of Thrones. This opening sequence was designed as a subtle history lesson.

Robert on the Throne from the original Game of Thrones opening HBO RobertвЂ™s Rebellion from the original Game of Thrones opening HBOДЇinally, thereвЂ™s an image of what can only be Robert Baratheon on the Iron Throne: a stag sitting on a throne, with all of the other animal sigils, most prominently a lion, bowing before it. The second carving on the astrolabe shows images shows a dragon, beset on all sides by a stag, a wolf, and a lion, depicting the events of RobertвЂ™s rebellion. This is meant to represent the Doom of Valyria, a volcanic eruption that destroyed the worldвЂ™s greatest civilization, the Targaryens are one of the few Valyrian families to have escaped the doom.

The Doom of Valyria from the original Game of Thrones opening HBO The first of the astrolabeвЂ™s traditional carvings depicts a dragon, a great city, and a volcano. Until, however, the first episode of season 8, the showвЂ™s final season. The intricate turning of the astrolabe, which we now know to be the giant hanging fixture in the Citadel library, is cut to three times during each opening title sequence, and always has the same three carvings in it. There is one thing about the sequence that hasnвЂ™t changed though: the astrolabe. The clockwork map of Westeros shifts and changes, as the camera soars over it, lingering on the locations that will be relevant for the episode it precedes. The Game of Thrones opening title sequence is famous for changing every episode.
