After the monarch, the territory, and the council, the armies play a key role in state and statecraft in Game of Thrones. Those who want to usurp the throne or establish a new order need a force to fight wars. This stands true for the living as well as the Night King and the White Walkers in Game of Thrones. Daenerys raised an army from nothing, and hers is a fascinating tale of raising and mustering troops for a war that took place in foreign lands.
