In a moment that wrapped up his arc almost too perfectly, Theon dies protecting Bran Stark from the Night King. She makes a decision to give up her life and charge the giant, who crushes her in the palm of his hand - but not before Lyanna stabs him in the eye and kills him. Having already led her troops to defeat - and watching a startling number of them be killed in the process - Lyanna sees the wight giant come out and decimate everything in its path. Lyanna Mormont has a fittingly heroic end, taking down an undead giant as she goes. With the help of The Hound, Beric hurls himself into an onslaught of wights to get Arya to safety, surviving several stab wounds before dying in the next room.

Seeing Arya fight, Beric quickly realizes that she must be protected at all costs. At last, he has fulfilled his purpose for the Lord of Light. If Sam survives all this, we’d like to see a library built in Edd’s honor. After saving Sam from an attacking wight, Edd is stabbed in the back and swiftly dies. One of Jon Snow and Samwell Tarly’s close friends, Edd Tollett (aka Dolorous Edd) was next to die in the Battle at Winterfell. While some of the retreating Dothraki hopefully made it into the castle, the Battle at Winterfell saw nearly the entire Dothraki army fall. As we soon find out, the sheer number of wights is impossible to fight. The Dothraki Armyĭoes it surprise anyone that the Dothraki were at the front lines of this battle? Fierce, fearless warriors until the end, the Dothraki charged forward into the army of the undead - and suffered a swift, decisive defeat.


While we don’t witness the death itself, the discovery of his body plays an important role in alerting the Winterfell army to the Night King’s position. The season’s only pre-Battle at Winterfell casualty, Lord Umber is discovered pinned to a wall in the very first episode.
