A major naval conflict, the Battle of the Gullet, is expected to shift the war’s balance and is now shown prominently in the Season 3 trailer. The battle was previously left unresolved at the end of Season 2, creating a long wait for its start. The trailer emphasizes the cost of the conflict through casualties and vengeful fury. Triarchy captain Sharako Lohar leads her fleet into the battle, fighting on the deck of her ship. The Greens in King’s Landing focus on keeping peace with commonfolk rather than fortifying fleets, allowing the Blacks, led by Sharako and Corlys Velaryon, to achieve a decisive victory at sea.
"The Battle of the Gullet was a massive naval battle that turned the tide in the conflict completely, and it was expected to be the big finale of Season 2. But the last episode of Season 2 ended only moments before the battle began, leaving fans in limbo for almost two years now. But in the final trailer for Season 3, it looks like this battle will finally take center stage."
"This trailer focuses on the cost of this conflict, all the casualties, and the vengeful fury caused by the last two seasons. But in between close-ups of various royals looking determined and/or sorrowful, there are a number of shots of the Battle of the Gullet, including one of the show's recent additions, Triarchy captain Sharako Lohar, taking down her enemies on the deck of her ship."
"At this point, the Greens in King's Landing are trying to keep the peace with the commonfolk, so fortifying their fleets isn't a high priority. This allows the Blacks, led by Sharako and Corlys Velaryon, to get a decisive victory at sea."
"Considering how this battle was just barely cut out of Season 2, it's likely it will be a major part of the first few episodes of Season 3. But after that, there's no telling where the story goes. With the series as a whole ending after Season 4, Season 3 has to take us to the beginning of the end."
