Warning: This story contains spoilers for Game of Thrones. When Arya Stark sets sail into lands unknown “west of Westeros” at the end of Game of Thrones’ final season, her choice to journey alone into uncharted waters may strike some with surprise. After all, with one brother sitting on the throne in King’s Landing, a sister wearing her own crown at their ancestral home of Winterfell, and her final brother leading the Night’s Watch once more, Arya’s family seems to have pretty much taken over Westeros. But instead of sticking around to support the other Stark siblings, Arya — trained assassin, definitive free spirit and, as she tells Gendry, definitely not a lady — tells Jon she will be going to find out “what’s west of Westeros.” In the show’s final shots, we see her striding the decks of a ship, well on her way. As it turns out, Arya may have retired her kill list, but her dream to see what’s beyond the maps is one she’s been nursing for a while.
