The Night King (or sometimes called Night's King) is most recognizable of The White Walkers. We’ve yet to hear the White Walkers’ side of the story. The Children of the Forest pressed dragonglass daggers into the chests of these First Men to create the first White Walkers.Įventually, the White Walkers rebelled, Cylon-style, from their lives of forced war-making and decided to make war on their own terms, attacking the living indiscriminately and becoming the most feared creatures in all of Westeros. The White Walkers were originally First Men themselves, before being captured by the Children of the Forest to be changed into weapons. The White Walkers were created by the Children of the Forest thousands of years ago as a form of protection against the First Men who were cutting their sacred trees and slaughtering their tribe. And then it doesn’t matter whose skeleton sits on the Iron Throne.” Listen to the man, dammit! In the first trailer for Season 7, we hear Davos tell someone: “If we don’t put aside our enmities and band together, we will die.

Not that anyone besides the wildlings, Jon Snow, the Night’s Watch, and Ser Davos are taking the threat seriously, though.
