There are times when it can be easy to forget that Game of Thrones is a fantasy series with magical elements. The White Walkers are a race of human-like ice creatures with various magical powers including the ability to reanimate corpses to serve as wights, super-human strength, and the power to freeze and shatter the weapons of foes. Once shrouded in mystery, the history of the White Walkers has become more clear in recent seasons of Game of Thrones. Thousands of years ago, the Children of the Forest created the White Walkers to defend themselves against the First Men but found themselves unable to control their creation, which turned against them before moving south leading to the War for the Dawn - the legendary conflict in which the warriors of Westeros were able to turn back the White Walkers to the north, beyond the newly created wall.
