here to argue about the damned castle.

In Winterfell, most of the House Stark’s bannermen and Daenerys’s army have arrived.

Jaqen tells Arya that the Many-Faced God requires another death, a name to be crossed off her
list.
He reveals it to be the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, Cersei Lannister.
What better servant of the Many-Faced God than Arya Stark to kill Cersei Lannister.

all.

of Joy.

will set the army of the Dead afire.
House Stark’s bannermen and the Knights of the Vale will fight weakened forces at
the battlefield of Winterfell.
