Potential Spoilers Below
I have a theory
that says that ASOIAF will end in a similar fashion as The Wheel of Time (TWOT)
but with 180-degree twists thrown in to make it unique. So far, my theory has held; so I want to
present to you an idea that could represent a chink the White
Walker proverbial armor.
First to get more back story into how Bran and the Night King are linked in the TV show
you will have to read the following theory if you haven’t already: What it means that Bran was touched by the Night King
White Walkers Besides dragonglass do they have another weakness? |
The connection |
Now let me tell you that I believe that the
White Walkers and Wights are
represented by the Myrddraal and Trollocs respectively
in TWOT. The 180-degree twist is that in
TWOT the parent/child relationship is reversed.
In TWOT the Myrddraal are the children of the Trollocs but they are the
ones that are intelligent like the White Walkers. The Trollocs are more bestial. Their creator Aginor, a Forsaken,
used both humans and animals in the creation of Trollocs. They were prolific breeders and their numbers
swelled. Myrddraal were simply
throwbacks who were born to Trollocs favoring their human side. In time, it was found that Myrddraal could link with a number of Trollocs overriding their bestial nature
taking control
of their minds and wills to create a
deadly, well-disciplined fighting force.
Together Myrddraal and Trollocs made a fearsome foe. The only thing that a Myrddraal fears is running water.

The Forsaken |
White Walkers and Wights share a metaphorical parent/child
relationship. White Walkers create the
Wights by raising them from the dead. We
also know that White
Walkers were created from human stock. One thing that I also believe is that
they were not only human but also wargs.
White Walkers to me exists in a state between being alive and dead and
therefore are the opposite of wargs in that they can now only warg dead creatures. Unlike the Trollocs they are not prolific
breeders and take time to build their numbers.
The way they do create offspring has not been truly explained. They use the dead to create their armies and
together they also make fearsome foes.
Remember when Jon Snow first encountered the Night
King at Hardhome and Jon and crew were not really that far out past
the docks? Why not just send the Wights
out to overturn the boat? I believe it
was a homage to the Myrddraal fear of running water was the only reason they
made it safely away to tell their tale.
How a White Walker is made in the beginning |
Why not just go after them? |
(TWOT) It is
known:
Myrddraal are incredibly difficult to kill due to their viperish
speed and immense strength.
Normal
wounds, such as a blade or arrow to the heart, will not kill a Myrddraal,
though it will be slowed by such wounds. It
takes dozens of arrows or bolts to kill a Myrddraal, though the easiest way to
kill one is to remove its head. The best way (according to some) to fight a
Myrddraal is to overwhelm it before it can overwhelm you.
Even after
dealing a killing blow to a Myrddraal it will not die immediately. While they
are in their death throes, they are still extremely dangerous, as their
headless/damaged body will continue to thrash blindly, often still holding
their sword or rending with their fingernails. A Myrddraal only finishes dying
at the setting of the sun. Any trollocs linked to the Myrddraall, however, die the
instant it is dealt a fatal blow.
Killing a
Myrddraal earns one the title of Dreadbane in
the Borderlands,
whether someone was simply the one to deal the killing blow after it had taken
many other wounds or if one met it in single combat.
(ASOIAF) Is it
known?
If you have read
my theory as to why I believe the Night King and Bran are linked you will have
a better understanding to what I present here.
We have seen that Bran sent warged ravens to spy on the Night King and
his army of the dead. When the ravens
got within a certain distance it seems to me that the Night King disrupted Bran’s
control of the ravens? How is that
possible? The first time when Bran was
touched can be explained by the fact that it caught him off guard. This time however he was just doing a reconnaissance
mission to gain intel and the birds were not in range of the Night King to
touch so how did he break the connection?
Bran’s connection to the Night King to me is eerily similar to the connection
between Rand and Moridin.
Night King breaks Bran's warg |
I believe that
the connection goes both ways and if I am right then Bran can also break the
Night King’s connection to the Wights that he controls. In a battle where you are fighting the dead
in such overwhelming numbers that would be a huge strategic advantage. I am guessing right now as we haven’t seen
evidence to support this but other White Walkers may also be able to control
Wights too. If not, then the advantage
is even more important because they essentially have all their eggs in one
basket. But let’s assume that other
White Walkers can also control Wights.
We know that Jon Snow has loaded up on dragonglass and
they have a better idea of how to fight the enemy. When the White Walkers discover that dragonglass
is in play they may hang back further to avoid being taken out. Lastly will we see a group of Wights who are being controlled by a White Walker who gets killed also die; like the Trollocs do in TWOT?
Dragonglass |
I would say it is
known that Sam “The Slayer” along with others have earned their Dreadbane
equivalent titles!

Comments encouraged. Love to hear the
ideas of others. Most believe that since I present my idea’s as “fact
like” I’m not open to change my viewpoints which is far from the truth. I
simply look at the information presented and go from there. If you can
shine a light on another way of thinking that opens the door to debate.

Just like I said the Wights that are connected to the White Walker that created them all die when he is killed:

Read the Wheel of Time and you will see how ASOIAF will end. All the haters on Reddit are as quiet as a church mouse now. The were telling me I was crazy for even suggesting anything so absurd but once it happens just like I said it was nothing.
His analyzes were impressive. I'm reading the wheel of time, and I feel like I could predict what will happen in game of thrones as well. Indeed all works are influenced by others.
ReplyDeleteEveryone who I have encouraged to read TWOT feel the same way as you do.
