Unusually long screentime, callbacks to his history with Jaime, heroic refusal to walk (run) away, ignoring the spilled riches to try to save the day, jesus christ is right.

4 - This - Cause dragons
3 - Rains of Castamere - Cause holy poo poo
2 - Hardhome - Cause cool zombie poo poo
1 - Baelor - Cause it was the turning point where people went "holy poo poo, I should go buy the books"

Where does this motif come from?

It's also played when Drogon shows up to the battle with the Lannisters. So probably something to do with the Targaryens.

It's a remix of the last 20 seconds of Dance of Dragons

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9e_INLnJts&t=152s

Which in turn is a remix of previous season's Daenerys leitmotiff theme

edit: From season 4's Breaker of Chain

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoPnrbKOEl8&t=25s

And then I think her previous season theme's are just a remix of the main theme.

Awesome, thanks. I really like the theme because it just seems perfect for Targaryens somehow.

Armor, weapons, injured soldiers, gold, military leadership, non injured soldiers, blacksmith equipment. You know, stuff that armies put in carts.
