HotD’s Ryan Condal Is Keeping Winds Of Winter Secrets To Himself – Looper

Although the story of “Game of Thrones” branched off from the novels around Season 5 (omitting certain characters like Victarion Greyjoy and an entire subplot about another alleged Targaryen claiming the Iron Throne), it’s worth noting that the show left plenty of questions unanswered after the series finale.

Most notably, the series failed to provide concrete answers about the White Walkers and their ultimate plans — despite teasing aspects of their culture and even their creation at various points throughout the series. It’s important to note that Ryan Condal says that George R.R. Martin has given him insider information about “mythologies,” which might refer to the mysterious legends or history of the White Walkers (or “Others,” as they’re called in the books) since they are supposedly a key part of the forthcoming novel.

Condal could also refer to the foggy history of the Targaryens and their flight from Valyria, especially since “House of the Dragon” has already given fans some major revelations about the prophecy that led the Targaryens to Westeros in the first place. Unfortunately, it seems unlikely that Condal will let slip any of the secrets he’s learned about “Winds of Winter.” As such, we’ll just have to wait until the book is released for any concrete information about these lingering mysteries.
