That’s true of all the men mentioned in the show. But who is he? How did he come to power when all the men in the Martell line were thought to have been assassinated by Ellaria Sand and the Sand Snakes? Very late in the game, we got a brief mention from Varys that there was a new prince of Dorne. We’re still wondering about Jojen’s visions, which suggested a fiery exit for Bran and Meera: “This isn’t the end,” he said. What happened to that guy? In addition to being one of the few people in Westeros who knows Jon Snow’s true parentage (not from a vision, but from lived history), Lord Reed is also a loyal vassal to House Stark - so loyal that his children, Jojen and Meera, risked their lives to help Bran on his mystical journey.Īnd yet House Reed was absent from the discussions about defending Winterfell, and it hasn’t been heard from since Bran brushed off Meera with barely a thank you. We got to see Ned Stark’s companion Howland Reed only in the Tower of Joy flashback, and we heard about his legendary exploits only when Bran Stark discussed them with the Three-Eyed Raven and the Reed siblings. What is its function now beyond leading the Free Folk home? In any case, it’s not entirely clear what someone sentenced to the Night’s Watch might be required to do. Is there any point in restoring them? Eastwatch at least, given its seaside location, could be rebuilt as a port town and trading center.

The Wall is destroyed near Eastwatch, and the various castles along the Wall are unmanned. “There’s still a Night’s Watch?” Jon Snow asked Tyrion when he learned he was being banished to the Wall. (Arya west of Westeros? John north of the North?) Here are a few we’re still wondering about. Still, a lot of questions were left unanswered - fodder, perhaps, for any “Game of Thrones” sequels that may arise in addition to the prequels. But Sunday’s “Game of Thrones” finale certainly tried to tie a bow on as much of the story as possible.

We couldn’t expect every question to be answered, every subplot to be resolved, every character to get a proper goodbye. This article contains spoilers for the series finale of “Game of Thrones.”
