Featured on the Stark coat of arms, the massive direwolves have long been associated with the people of the North in Westeros, even if the creatures were not known to roam south of the Wall when Game of Thrones begins. But rarely does fate align quite like it did on the day Lord Eddard Stark (Sean Bean) sentenced and executed a Night's Watch deserter, who warned him of the coming White Walker threat. Returning to Winterfell, the Starks find the mangled body of a stag. Nearby, Lord Stark finds a dead direwolf, her cubs squirming at her side. He calls for a quick death and his ward, Theon Greyjoy (Alfie Allen), pulls out a dagger.
Only Jon Snow (Kit Harington) sees the portent. "Lord Stark, there are five pups. One for each of the Stark children. The direwolf is the sigil of your House. They were meant to have them." From the first episode of Game of Thrones, the six direwolves—Snow finds a sixth for himself, the snow-white runt of the litter—are tied to the fates of the Stark children and possibly the future of Westeros. So what has happened to the Stark direwolves in the seven seasons and 66 episodes since they were introduced? When Season 8 premieres on April 14, the living Stark direwolves may prove pivotal to whether Westeros can repel the Night King and his army of the dead.
This article will delve into the fates of these beloved creatures, exploring their significance in the story of Game of Thrones and their connection to the Stark family. As we journey through the events of the series, we will uncover the importance of each direwolf and how their destinies intertwine with that of their human counterparts.
Game of Thrones Season 8: Where Are the Living Stark Direwolves?
Lady
- Adopted by: Sansa Stark
- Dead or Alive: Dead
Sansa's direwolf Lady was the first to die (in the second episode of Game of Thrones), executed by her father Ned Stark at the behest of Queen Cersei (Lena Headey). While traveling to King's Landing, so that Eddard could serve as Hand to King Robert Baratheon (Mark Addy), Arya's direwolf Nymeria bites Joffrey Baratheon (Jack Gleeson). Certain of her direwolf's fate at Cersei's hand, Arya (Maisie Williams) drives Nymeria away with a rock. So Cersei demands Lady's death instead. Lady's death presages Sansa's ordeal under Lannister captivity and her separation from the rest of the Starks, including divisions between her and Arya that take all the way until Season 7 to heal.
