So that`s it. Game of Thrones has come to its end. There`s a new ruler for Westeros, and while a whole bunch of people died along the way, a lot of fan-favorite characters managed to make it through the game of thrones and win, or at least didn`t die.In Episode 6, `The Iron Throne,` we saw what finally became of the Stark kids after years of them dodging death at the hands of their enemies.
