8. Cersei’s prophecy
One pretty interesting scene from “The Wars to Come” was a Cersei flashback where she visits a fortune teller, Maggy the Frog. In the episode, Maggy tells Cersei that she will be a queen, but only for a time. “Gold will be their crowns. Gold – their shrouds.” As George R.R. Martin notes, this makes her extremely paranoid and suspicious, especially of Margaery Tyrell. One major thing left out was that in “A Feast for Crows,” Maggy goes on to say, “And when your tears have drowned you, the valonqar shall wrap his hands around your pale white throat and choke the life from you.” Valonqar in High Valayrian means “little brother,” and so this added part of the prophecy says that not only will Cersei outlive her children, but she will die at the hands of Tyrion (or possibly Jaime, since he’s technically younger than her by a few minutes). That definitely provides a bit more justification for Cersei’s hatred of Tyrion and desire to have him put to death for supposedly killing Joffrey, but in the show this is not the case.
