Any lingering questions and loose ends in a fantasy series can be answered thus: A wizard did it.Quoting Morris Schæffer (view post)
Was that ash or snow in the final episode? A wizard turned the ash into snow to put out the fires.
Why didn't Drogon kill Jon? A wizard used mind control to make the dragon fly away.
But what about ...? Wizard.
