I thought the only substantial differences (excluding the minor rule changes which are available online) were that the plastic mountain range tokens were removed and the box was reduced in size.
The biggest rules difference between the original and revised editions is that the "Road to Victory" variant from the Banners of War expansion is now part of the core rules.
In the original edition, you won as soon as you gained your 6th Dragon Rune. In the revised edition (and "Road to Victory" variant), when you declare you have 6 Dragon Runes, you put a card on the current season's stack. If, when you get back to that season next year, you still have 6 Dragon Runes then you win. It makes the timing of the end of the game slightly more predictable, and gives a more exciting endgame.
