This post contains spoilers for Game of Thrones' series finale.

Tonight, the long-anticipated series finale ofGame of Thrones aired, complete with the destinies of all of our favorite characters. Daenerys dies. Sansa becomes Queen of the North. Arya goes off to explore un-mapped parts of the globe. And Jon Snow gets sent back to The Wall to alive the aforementioned life he was assail living at the kickoff of Season one, admitting this time non past choice. Here'due south what yous need to know nigh Jon Snow'southward fate at the end ofGame of Thrones.

Why did Jon Snow kill Daenerys Targaryen?

There's a longer explanation bachelor here, merely the short version is that Dany but had to go. She went full Mad Queen, killed hundreds of innocents, sentenced Tyrion to death, and rallied her armies with promises of more "liberation" which is just Dany for "murder" at this betoken. Jon realized that he was the only i capable of taking her out, so even though he didn't want to practise, he did just that.

Why does Jon Snow have to go back to The Wall?

Grey Worm and the rest of the Unsullied are none too pleased with Jon when he kills their dear Queen and they lock him up for weeks until all of the lords and ladies of Westeros tin can make the trek out to Male monarch's Landing (or what's left of it anyway) to make up one's mind what to do with him and who to name Rex (or Queen) of the Seven Kingdoms. When all is said and done, Bran Stark is named Male monarch of the Six Kingdoms, Sansa is named Queen of the now contained Due north and Jon Snowfall is sentenced to have the black and serve out the remainder of his days on The Wall as a man of the Night's Scout.

Is at that place even a Wall or a Night's Watch at this point?

But wait, yous might be thinking, why would you send Jon to The Wall? Wasn't that destroyed? Isn't the Dark'due south Scout rendered useless at present that there'due south no Night King or White Walkers to lookout manfor? Jon asks pretty much exactly these questions and Tyrion basically says that they're keeping the Nighttime'south Lookout man around as a place to exile criminals. Great.

Won't Jon's siblings visit him all the time though?

Nope. Even though The Wall is just n of Winterfell, Arya announces that she'll never visit considering she'south going west to explore and never coming dorsum, substantially. And Sansa, as Queen of the North, will need to play past the rules and not go visiting prisoners on The Wall. At this betoken, things are lookingbleakfor Jon, who has basically been sentenced to go sit, alone, on a cleaved water ice wall until he dies.

And then does Jon leave the Night'south Watch?

Certain does. When Jon arrives at The Wall, it's not deserted like he expects. His old friend Tormund is there waiting for him, which is weird, since Tormund made it clear that he intended to get back to theexistent north, north of The Wall, with the rest of the Wildlings. Things become more articulate, however, when you realize that Castle Black is full of Wildlings (and Ghost!) and they all seem to have been waiting specifically for Jon.

Does Jon get the Rex of the Wildlings?

Maybe? In the concluding shots of the series, Jon is seen leaving Castle Black with the rest of the Wildlings and venturing off north of The Wall, presumably never to return to Westeros. Whether Jon isofficially named the Wildlings' "king" isn't clear, only we know he'due south a natural born leader and will surely be a high ranking Wildling at the very least. Maybe he and Tormund can co-lead the Wildlings for the residue of their days. That seems dainty. Let's all merely imagine that.
