10. Death Of A Dragon
As we’ve seen in Game Of Thrones time and time again, no one is safe from the cruel hand of fate in this series. Men have died, women have died, giants have died, and direwolves have died. It only makes sense that dragons can and will die, too, so be prepared to see that happen.
The world of men rid themselves of dragons once, and they’re likely to do it again once war comes to King’s Landing. Keep in mind that Cersei’s Igor of sorts, Qyburn, hid stockpiles of Wildfire underneath the Citadel, and there’s no telling if he has more in store for enemies both known and in the shadows. Can Wildfire be used against Drogon and his siblings? We’re likely to find out. But it doesn’t take magic to hurt a dragon. Weapons made of steel can take down the winged monsters as well, and with the Lannister army at Cersei’s bidding, there’s no reason why at least one of Daenerys’ dragons won’t go down in a fight. There’s also the theory of an Ice Dragon being in the mix, although some have argued that this has nothing to do with Game Of Thrones but stems from one of George R.R. Martin’s other titles. The general consensus is that The Night King will resurrect one of Daenerys’ fallen dragons and ride it himself, which is one of the most terrifying albeit badass outcomes I can think of.
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.
