Where is arya stark going

But where Arya is going at the end of Game of Thrones was actually established during her time in Braavos. Arya once asked, "Essos is East. Westeros is West, but what's West of Westeros? And if Game of Thrones is looking for another spinoff, a series following Arya the Adventurer is pretty much already writing itself.

Arya was there for all of the Battle of King's Landing and knew firsthand how Daenerys couldn't be trusted after burning the city down. Her cousin Jon did what needed to be done by killing the Dragon Queen , but Arya — who is prone to not staying in one place — stayed in Westeros until a new order was established.

Arya first popped up early on in the episode, watching a Daenerys give a frighteningly power-mad victory speech. She warned Jon that Dany would always see him as a threat, and then disappeared until the tribunal, which was held to determine the new monarch.

So what, exactly, is west of Westeros? Arya has actually brought it up before. Crane tells her that it could be the edge of the world, to which Arya says she'd like to see. It was this Nymeria that Arya named her direwolf after.

The final glimpse of Arya in Game of Thrones showed her sailing off toward adventure, determined to discover something no one else ever has: what is west of Westeros. That gave Arya one of the most open-ended conclusions of any character in Thrones. Immediately, fans speculated about a potential spinoff series , which HBO just as quickly shot down.

But what would Arya find to the west of Westeros? Arya had her own adventure in Game of Thrones that led her across one body of water, but that one involved death, violence, and trauma. In this one, an adult Arya would have more agency over her travels, and would be better able to wield her unique curiosity, grit, and determination to explore not only the wider world, but herself.

And there is still plenty to discover about both. George R. Or, the sea may wrap straight around to the eastern edge of Essos. Visiting them would hardly be considered exploring—and not the kind of adventure Arya is seeking. For that we have to go a bit farther out. Just to give you an idea of what I mean: At the Kingsmoot in A Feast for Crows , Gylbert Farwynd practically got laughed off of the island by the same people that elected Euron Greyjoy.

That would be a trio of small islands called Aegon, Rhaenys, and Visenya, located well to the south of Lonely Light—even more south than Westeros itself—but also far to the west, several weeks away from Oldtown.
