As the Night King spoke, Viserys immediately realized the futility of the day's negotiations.

The Child of the Forest could merge with the First Men, enabling those with First Men blood to become Greenseers. This raised an unsettling question: could a White Walker one day meet similar conditions?

Moving the entire population of the North southward was an immense undertaking.
For thousands, if not tens of thousands of years, the people of the North had never abandoned their homeland. They saw themselves as the descendants of the First Men—those who had defeated the White Walkers in legend and resisted the Andal...

The Ice Spear, hurled from one of the ten surrounding Icebone Towers, shot toward Viserys with a sound like the breaking of leather. The spear gleamed with a deadly, frosty aura as it tore through the air. Acting swiftly, Viserys commanded his dragon to climb higher, ascending to 500 feet to escape the Night King’s range.
