The latest episode of ‘House of the Dragon’ introduces Alys Rivers. Here’s why she is important and what happens to her.

In “Fire and Blood,” Alys was a child nurse for the House Strong family in Harrenhal and could apparently see visions of the future.

When Aemond Targaryen, Daemon’s nephew, and Ser Criston Cole take over Harrenhal in the name of Aegon II, Aemond orders the deaths of House Strong because they assisted Daemon. Aemond spares Alys’ life, and she becomes his bedmate.

Later, Alys becomes pregnant and claims she is carrying Aemond’s child. When Daemon returns to Harrenhal to duel with Aemond, Alys watches both men fight and die in Gods Eye lake.

She then disappears until after the civil war between the Blacks, supporting Rhaenyra’s family, and the Greens, supporting Aegon’s family, has ended.

At this point, she has taken over Harrenhal with a group of outlaws and claims her son is the rightful heir to the throne, challenging the current king, Aegon III. There were also rumors that she had a dragon inside the castle.

Unfortunately, her story ends there, and she isn’t mentioned in the rest of “Fire and Blood.”

Since “House of the Dragon” is mostly centered on the “Dance of the Dragons” civil war, we may not find out what happened to Alys and her child. But she may have a larger role in the series since she’s already interacting with Daemon.
