Game of thrones season 7: why did the white walkers have chains?


Play all audios:


The latest instalment of the fantasy epic saw an epic clash between the living and the dead that ended in tragedy for Daenerys Targaryen. Jon and his men ventured north of the Wall in a


misguided attempt to capture a wight. Although they succeeded, they quickly found themselves surrounded by an army of the undead, but managed to escape with only two casualties: Thoros of


Myr and Viserion, the dragon. Fans were left with several questions that seemed like plot holes. How did it take the White Walkers the same amount of time to climb a hill as it did a raven


to travel to Dragonstone? Why didn’t the Night King and his henchmen didn’t take out Jon and his party when they had them surrounded? And where did the White Walkers find a ready supply of


chains to raise a dragon from an ice lake? A new theory attempts to solve all three questions by suggesting that the White Walkers are playing a long game. “I was bothered by the timing


between the others attacking and when Gendry sent the raven (a six day journey by raven) and then I noticed the javelins,” Reddit user deamonx12 wrote.  “The White Walkers each had one when


they arrived, yet took no motion to kill out heroes, despite their superb accuracy.” The fan suggested that the White Walkers have certain magical powers, similar to those of the Three-Eyed


Raven. This allowed them to sense that they were in the presence of two men resurrected by the Lord of Light, who would be saved by dragons. The White Walkers trapped Jon and his men on the


centre of the lake so that they could capture one of Daenerys’ dragons. It would certainly explain why they often appear at the right place and right time to battle the living. Some fans


believe that Bran Stark will be revealed as the Night King, which would explain where this particular power comes from. It has been predicted that Bran will travel back in time to stop the


Children of Men from creating the first White Walker, but will end up trapped in the Night King’s body. _GAME OF THRONES SEASON 7 CONCLUDES ON MONDAY AUGUST 28 AT 2AM AND 9PM ON SKY ATLANTIC
