20 Mind-Blowing Facts You Never Knew About Game Of Thrones

4. Arya's Final Line In The Past Three Seasons Is Valar Morghulis

Now that the narrative of individual books is being chopped and changed on a weekly basis, with the hope of one season per novel a long lost ideal, it's easy to think that things in Game Of Thrones would become less defined, each season showing part of a bigger story with little isolated pay-off. And while that's true to a degree, the show still manages to have some nice growing themes - look how Tyrion's journey in Season 4 felt incredibly planned. One of the most fitting examples of this is in Arya's arc. The end of each season has seen her taking a step away from being a Lady Stark, beautifully marked in a distinct recurring manner - her last line in Seasons 2, 3 and 4 has been "Valar Morghulis", High Valyrian for "all men must die". With the impact of each utterance greater than the last (it's said as a farewell to Jaqen H'ghar, marking her first kill and a goodbye to the Hound), it's a nice trait that could easily go unnoticed.
