11. Bran Stark Finds His Purpose
One of the things that kicked off this whole saga was when Jaime Lannister pushed Brandon Stark off the ledge of a tower when Bran popped in on the Lannister siblings going to town on each other. Ugh. Since then, Bran’s journey has not been without hurdles, but at the end of Season 6, the youngest of the remaining Starks is more powerful than ever and has taken control of his warging abilities to see through time and gain knowledge of his family’s shrouded past.
But what is the true purpose of the Three-Eyed Raven? What is Bran Stark supposed to do and where does he fit into all of this? The knowledge that he carries of Jon Snow’s birth could potentially cause a seismic shift in the series, turning the tides awry and forever altering the path Jon must now take in order to realize his true destiny. But that can’t be all Bran has to do. Remember, the Night King was able to touch Bran during the warging session. This means that Bran’s fate is now, for better or worse, tied to the Night King and his army of the undead. How Bran deals with this problem, and how his ultimately ends up when the dust settles in Westeros, remains to be seen.
