After Ramsay weds " Arya Stark " before the castle's heart tree , Theon thinks he hears a voice whisper his name.

Bran : What are you doing to me? Bran : I can't fly! Bran : I'm falling! Bran : Do trees dream? Luwin : Trees? Bran : They do. They dream tree dreams.

I dream of a tree sometimes. A weirwood , like the one in the godswood. It calls to me. The wolf dreams are better. I smell things, and sometimes I can taste the blood.

I'd sooner be a wolf. I'd smell where they were and go save them, and when Robb went to battle I'd fight beside him like Grey Wind.

I'd tear out the Kingslayer 's throat with my teeth, rip , and then the war would be over and everyone would come back to Winterfell.

If I was a wolf The stone is strong The roots of the trees grow deep, and under the ground the Kings of Winter sit their thrones.

So long as those remained, Winterfell remained. It was not dead, just broken. Like me I'm not dead either. Old stories are like old friends.

You have to visit them from time to time. All the tales agreed that the green men had strange magic powers. Maybe they could help him walk again, even turn him into a knight.

They turned the little crannogman into a knight, even if it was only for a day , he thought. A day would be enough. Bran : I'm here, only I'm broken.

Will you That is beyond my powers. You will never walk again, Bran, but you will fly. Eddard : The man died well, I'll give him that.

I was glad for Bran's sake. You would have been proud of him. Catelyn : I am always proud of Bran. He is a sweet boy, quick to laugh, easy to love.

Let him grow up with the young princes, let him become their friend as Robert became mine. I prayed for it. He was my special boy.

I went to the sept and prayed seven times to the seven faces of the god that Ned would change his mind and leave him here with me.

I may indeed have shit for honor, I won't deny it, but I have never yet hired anyone to do my killing. The wretched boy was spying on us.

He's our prince. The strongest trees are rooted in the dark places of the earth. Darkness will be your cloak, your shield, your mother's milk.

Darkness will make you strong. No one had expected the broken boy to live. The gods could not kill Bran, no more than I could.

It was a strange thought, and stranger still to remember that Bran might still be alive. They know. The gods know. They saw what I did.

And for one strange moment it seemed as if it were Bran's face carved into the pale trunk of the weirwood , staring down at him with eyes red and wise and sad.

Bran's ghost, he thought, but that was madness. Why should Bran want to haunt him? He had been fond of the boy, had never done him any harm.

It was not Bran we killed. It was not Rickon. They were only miller's sons, from the mill by the Acorn Water. Bran and his group encounter Sam and Gilly, who try to persuade Bran not to venture beyond the Wall, but Bran claims it is his destiny and leaves through the gate with Hodor and the Reeds.

During their travels beyond the Wall, Bran and his group stumble across Craster's Keep, where they are captured and held by Night's Watch mutineers, led by Karl Tanner.

Night's Watchmen led by Jon eventually converge on Craster's Keep, but Locke, an agent of Roose Bolton, pretending to be a new Watch recruit, finds Bran first and takes him hostage.

Bran wargs into Hodor and snaps Locke's neck. The group then continues on without telling Jon, who Jojen claims would stop them.

Bran eventually reaches the heart tree but are set upon by wights outside the entrance. Jojen is killed in the attack, but the Children of the Forest lead Bran and his company safely into a magic cave, to meet the Three-Eyed Raven.

The Three-Eyed Raven declares that Bran will not walk again but will fly, instead. However, the Three-Eyed Raven is always quick to withdraw Bran from the visions, warning that he may become trapped in them if he stays too long.

Growing bored with his slow progress, Bran enters a vision on his own and witnesses the Night King in the present day, who sees Bran and marks him, making the Three-Eyed Raven's cave vulnerable to the White Walkers' magic.

The Three-Eyed Raven enters Bran into another vision of Winterfell's past to impart all his knowledge, but before the transfer is completed the White Walkers attack the cave, killing the Three-Eyed Raven, Summer, and the Children of the Forest.

Bran, still caught in the vision, wargs into Hodor through the latter's younger self named Wylis , and he and Meera flee as Hodor carries Bran's unconscious body out of the cave.

Meera carries Bran into the forest, while Hodor gives his life to hold back the cave door against the army of wights until they overwhelm him.

Bran witnesses how his warging accidentally linked Hodor's past and present mind, inducing a brain damaging seizure in young Wylis and causing him to repeat Meera's command to "hold the door" over and over, until he can only slur the word "Hodor".

After the wight army catches up to them again, Bran and Meera are rescued by Bran's uncle Benjen Stark, who had been killed by the White Walkers several years prior but was revived by the Children.

Benjen whisks the duo to safety and advises that Bran is now the Three-Eyed Raven and must learn to control his powers before the Night King attacks the Seven Kingdoms.

Benjen leaves Bran and Meera at the weirwood in the Haunted Forest, as the Wall's magic prevents the dead and therefore, Benjen from passing it.

Bran touches the weirwood and witnesses the rest of the vision of Ned Stark at the Tower of Joy. Bran returns to Winterfell, which has been rebuilt and reoccupied by the remaining Starks.

Jon Snow has traveled to Dragonstone to meet with Daenerys Targaryen , after which he is finally reunited at Winterfell with Sansa and Arya, who are both concerned by Bran's knowledge about their tribulations following Ned's execution.

Littlefinger gives Bran a Valyrian steel dagger the one used by Bran's would-be assassin in season one , which Bran passes to Arya.

Meera leaves Winterfell to return to Greywater Watch; Bran's indifference to her departure makes her realize that Bran "died" in the Three-Eyed Raven's cave.

For that reason, Bran remains aloof from his siblings as well. He uses his greenseeing abilities to discover Littlefinger's betrayal of Ned.

When Sansa confronts Littlefinger about his treason towards House Stark, Bran corroborates the accusations leveled against him, and Arya executes Littlefinger at Sansa's command.

Samwell Tarly arrives in Winterfell and comes to visit Bran. Bran tells Sam his discovery that Jon is the bastard son of Rhaegar and Lyanna, but Sam mentions a former High Septon's record of annulling Rhaegar's marriage to Elia Martell so that he could marry Lyanna.

Bran uses greenseeing to confirm that the marriage took place, and then revisits the vision of the Tower of Joy, discovering that's Jon's real name is Aegon Targaryen.

Bran declares that Jon is therefore the heir to the Iron Throne. Bran is reunited with Jon when he returns to Winterfell with Daenerys Targaryen and her forces.

Bran reveals to them that the Night King has reanimated Daenerys' dragon Viserion and used it to breach the Wall.

Bran urges Sam to tell Jon the truth of his parentage, upon which Jon abdicates his claim in favour of Daenerys'. Jaime later arrives at Winterfell to aid in the fight against the dead, but Bran does not reveal Jaime's role in crippling him.

At the war council before the battle against the dead, Bran explains that the Night King desires to create an endless winter and will try to kill him during the battle, due to his ability to hold humanity's collective memories.

He convinces the council to let him wait in the Godswood as bait for the Night King. Theon, who has returned to Winterfell to fight the dead with his men, offers to defend Bran, and Jon and Daenerys plan to hide in wait to attack the Night King when he emerges.

The Night King eventually breaches the castle and approaches Bran, killing Theon in the process. He is about to kill Bran, but Arya intervenes and manages to stab the Night King with the Valyrian steel dagger, eliminating the Night King as well as all the other White Walkers and undead he resurrected.

Westeros is left without a ruler when, after Daenerys successfully wrests King's Landing from Cersei Lannister, she proceeds to burn the surrendered populace of the city, during which Cersei is also killed.

Jon fails to dissuade Daenerys from further destruction and ultimately assassinates her. He is arrested.

Weeks later, Tyrion Lannister proposes choosing Bran as the new king before a council of the lords and ladies of Westeros. He reasons that it would make a good story to unite the people, suggesting that future kings be elected by the lords of Westeros rather than inheriting the crown.

When Tyrion asks Bran if he is willing to be king, Bran replies, "Why do you think I came all this way?

He appoints Tyrion as his Hand of the King. It is revealed Bran has decided to exile Jon to the Night's Watch for killing Daenerys as a compromise.

As Jon leaves, he apologizes to Bran for not being there for him, but Bran responds, "You were exactly where you were supposed to be.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. But I ask you now, if we choose you, will you wear the crown? Will you lead the Seven Kingdoms to the best of your abilities from this day to your last day?

His parting words? But after he vouched for Bran to become King of the Six Kingdoms — Sansa maintained her insistence on the North being independent — Bran returned the favor and named him his Hand.

After Dany was killed, Davos offered the Unsullied land in the Reach. Sam was pivotal in helping Westeros adopt democracy, a suggestion that others on the council laughed at until Tyrion and others supported the idea of there at least being a vote to decide on the new ruler of the realm.

He is also soon to be a father of two in a family that already includes Gilly and little Sam. The Queen of the Iron Islands made her first appearance since the season 8 premiere to vote on who should rule over the Seven Kingdoms.

Based on her continued loyalty to Daenerys, it seems Yara will keeo her promise to end the Ironborn tradition of reaving, roving, raiding, and raping.

Or should we say Ser Podrick? After Tyrion proposed that the lords and ladies of Westeros choose a new ruler during his trial in the dragonpit , Edmure stood up to throw his name into the running.

In the series finale, he voted to instate her brother Bran as the new King of the Six Kingdoms while Sansa took over as Queen in the North. Tormund returned north of the Wall with Ghost and the surviving wildlings following the Battle of Winterfell.

The pair shared a tender moment — and the loyal direwolf then followed his master north on yet another adventure. Sadly, it seems as though he truly will be the last dragon.

According to Samwell Tarly, Drogon was last seen flying east and Bran Stark is determined to find him.
