What are the Basic Plot Points You Need to Know Going into Season 8?
To understand the significant moments of the first seven seasons, let's break the story into its three major plot lines:
The lords of Westeros: The first covers the war between the lords of the continent of Westeros — most notably members of the Stark, Baratheon, and Lannister families — who are involved in the battle to claim for the Iron Throne.
The last Targaryen: The second phase follows the rise of Daenerys Targaryen, the last member of an exiled family as she builds an army in Essos to fight with her on her quest to reclaim the Iron Throne.
North of the wall: The third plot takes place in the North of Westeros among the brothers of Night's Watch, an armed unit that guards the 300-mile-long, 70-foot- gigantic wall of ice that protects the rest of the continent from the mythical creatures of ice and winter that can reanimate the dead.
Winter is coming Tonight, HBO’s megahit fantasy drama television series Game of Thrones is moments away from its very last season, meaning we’ll finally find out who ends up on the Iron Throne.
