Who Is on What Side in Game of Thrones Season 8?
Game of Thrones: Where All the Major Characters Stand Going Into Season 8
2
Jon Snow spends a large portion of the seventh season attempting to persuade others of the threat to humanity posed by the White Walker Army. Upon gaining Daenerys's confidence on the matter, the pair visit King's Landing to ask Cersei to lend her troops in the battle against the undead.
To illustrate their need, Jon offers a controlled demonstration of a wight's destructive power, which only convinces Cersei to present a less desirable counter offer: her troops will hold their position and not attack the Targaryen or Northern forces as they battle the White Walkers. She also demands that Jon Snow, as lowly King of the North, remove himself from any future conflict between Cersei and Daenerys. Jon refuses and declares his loyalty to the Mother of Dragons.
Infuriated, Cersei storms out of the negotiations, leaving Tyrion to mend the breech between the parties.
