The final season depicts the culmination of the series two primary conflicts: the Great War against the Army of the Dead, and the Last War for control of the Iron Throne. The first half of the season involves many of the main characters converging at Winterfell with their armies in an effort to repel the Night King and his army of White Walkers and wights. The second half of the season resumes the war for the throne as Daenerys Targaryen assaults Kings Landing in an attempt to unseat Cersei Lannister as the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms
