Season eight's opening credits sequence was changed to tell a new story.

Previously the astrolabe device had bands of artwork showing Robert's Rebellion and other historic tales known far and wide in Westeros.

Now it starts with the most recent cataclysmic event on the continent: The Night King bringing down the Wall at Eastwatch by the Sea.

You can see a row of the Army of the Dead in the lower right corner and birds flying off from the top left side which represent both the Night's Watch fleeing and the ravens which Bran skinchanges into.

Now three dramatic events are shown on the astrolabe: The Wall's breach, the Red Wedding, and the birth of Daenerys' dragons.

On this band, a dead wolf (Lady Catelyn) hangs from the towers of the Twins (House Frey's castle) while a Flayed Man (House Bolton) holds up another wolf's head (King Robb Stark). 

To the left, a lion (Tywin Lannister) holds a fish in its jaws (House Tully).

The last motif shows Daenerys Targaryen's dragons being hatched from their fossilized eggs.

The birth of three dragons was the closest thing to a miracle most people in the world had seen in a long while. Unfortunately now the Night King has used one of those dragons to attack the realm of men, but Daenerys and Jon Snow won't go down without a fight.
