Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) is Daenerys Targaryen's (Emilia Clarke) Hand of the Queen, and in Season 7, Episode 2, she had him write a letter to Jon Snow (Kit Harington) at Winterfell, inviting him to Dragonstone to align with Team Dany to defeat Queen Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey).
HBO's Making Game of Thrones blog posted the entire note, which i09 transcribed:
"Queen Daenerys Targaryen, First of Her Name, invites you to Dragonstone. My queen commands the combined forces of Dorne and the Reach, an Ironborn fleet, legions of Unsullied, a Dothraki horde and three dragons. The Seven Kingdoms will bleed as long as Cersei sits on the Iron Throne. Join us. Together we can end her tyranny. I appeal to you, one bastard to another — for all dwarves are bastards in their fathers' eyes.
Tyrion Lannister Hand of the Queen"
The prop letter may just be incomplete, but it's more likely a subtle move on Tyrion's part to get the King in the North to show up instead of saying "Hell with her, I'm not bending the knee" and losing the chance to talk face-to-face.
Jon doesn't know Dany, other than that she's a Targaryen with dragons who hasn't been in Westeros since she was a child. Jon only cares about defeating the White Walkers. That's his focus. He wants Dany's dragons for that, and it sounds like the Episode 3 meeting ahead is going to be fraught with misunderstandings.
Speaking of Stannis, Melisandre thought he was Azor Ahai, but now she's moved on to both Dany and Jon. Is either one the Prince or Princess That Was Promised? Is it neither? Is it no one (or Arya as No One)? Is it Gendry? Or even Hot Pie? Has anyone even tried to bribe the White Walkers with baked goods? That's the kind of vision the Seven Kingdoms could use right now.
"Game of Thrones" Season 7 continues Sundays at 9 p.m. on HBO.
