Game Of Thrones Season 7 Finale: 10 Hints From The Trailer

By Simon Gallagher /

8. The Unsullied And Dothraki Attack High Garden

HBO

Much of the breakdown talk of this trailer has suggested that this shot sees the 8000 or so Unsullied and Dothraki forming ranks outside King's Landing's walls, but that's not entirely true.

Unless the show is lazily reusing a set for one of the smaller Gate castles at the North West side of King's Landing (with a completely different castle style to the rest of the city), this set is in fact Trujillo Castle, the same castle that was used for High Garden's walls.

The open grassland we see is also the same we saw Olenna Tyrell look out across when Jaime was preparing to attack her earlier in the season...

So are Jaime and Bronn at High Garden? And if so, why has Dany sent such a massive force to a place that means very little now?

We also get to see the Dothraki breaking then Unsullied ranks in a show of power too. It certainly seems to have Jaime and Bronn worried.

The question here is whether this is indeed High Garden or if the show is trying to pull a fast one and claim this is King's Landing. It's too much of a recognizable place for that surely? And it's not like they'd use a CGIed location to double as somewhere else.

But that in no way solves the mystery of why they hell any action would be happening there at all.
