What will probably go down as the most legendary battle in TV history aired on HBO on Sunday night. We’re still processing the shock of how it all went down but mostly, we’re just relieved that most of our favorite characters made it. More on that later but first, here’s a tribute to the mighty that have fallen.
Theon Greyjoy
Theon has done well to survive for as long as he had. His dying moments were protecting Brandon Stark, who reassured him before he said goodbye that he is indeed a good man.
Lyanna Mormont
Lyanna died saving countless soldiers from the wrath of a white walker giant. Her final moment was as heroic as we would expect from the brave young lady.
Ser Jorah Mormont
Ser Jorah died protecting his queen, moments before the battle was over. He died in her arms in one of the saddest deaths of the episode.
Lord Beric
Lord Beric may have once been on Arya’s kill list but he died saving her from the army of the dead. This time, the Lord of Light did not bring him back because he had served his purpose.
Edd Tollett
One of the few brothers of the Night’s Watch remaining died saving Samwell Tarley, who amazingly survived to live another day.
The Night King
The big bad bit the dust in the episode’s climax when Arya stabbed him with a Valerian dagger.
Melisandre
The Red Woman showed up moments before the battle to protect the armies with her fire magic. Once her work was done, she stepped out into the snow to shed her mortal coil.
