9. The Night King Explained
Who is The Night King, really? Cold, merciless, and a threat unlike anything the world of men is truly prepared for, we have yet to learn any real information about the dreaded lord of the undead, he who moves in the fog and beckons the icy storm at his will, The Night King.
The series has been skimmed and the world is now smaller than it once was. Only large clans have survived and we know all about the pasts of most of our central characters. It only makes sense that Season 7 finally focuses on the White Walkers and who they truly are, and what they’re really after. We were given hints at the origins of the Walkers in Season 6 and how they were created by the Children of the Forest out of fear of the armies of men… but how did it get out of hand? Is the Night King after the Iron Throne as well, or does he intend to bring total annihilation to all those inside the Wall by bringing the fury of Winter with him? At this moment, we have no answers, but from what we’ve seen so far, the only real horde left to focus on in Season 7 is The Night King and his army of necro-soldiers. What is the true extent of his power? What does he need the babies for? Will be finally eradicate all of Westeros? Season 7 is bound to answer at least some of these pending questions.
