Battle of hardhome

Hardhome [1] was a Free Folk fishing village located beyond the Wall on a sheltered bay along the Shivering Sea , situated at the tip of the large peninsula known as Storrold's Point. Many of the Free Folk who survived the battle for the Wall and were not captured by the forces of Stannis Baratheon fled to Hardhome. During the massacre of Hardhome, the entire village was invaded and destroyed by the White Walkers and wights. Those killed during the battle were all resurrected as wights by the Night King. The survivors of Hardhome went on board the fleet docked outside the bay. Hardhome was built as a fully realized set at Magheramorne Quarry in Northern Ireland. This is the same quarry where the Castle Black set was constructed. In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Hardhome is the closest thing to a true town that the Free Folk ever built, though by the standards of the Seven Kingdoms south of the Wall it was a modestly sized fishing village. It was perfectly situated in a strong defensive position on the tip of the peninsula known as Storrhold's Point, near waters rich in fish, seals, and sea cows, and with abundant supplies of timber and stone in the surrounding cliffs which were also well-sheltered with caves.

By Emily Yoshida. Ever since the second season finale, we've vaguely been aware that the White Walkers are out there, in great numbers, sort of ambling toward the wall at a leisurely pace as winter makes it way across Westeros. But in the Game of Game of Thrones , you only get one point for attendance. And for the past few years, attendance has more or less been what the Walkers have been relegated to: showing up, reminding us they're still on their way, like a lost Uber driver who's been pinging your phone saying he's "now arriving" for the past half hour. So I underestimated what a force the White Walkers would actually be this year. And I certainly didn't think that after a couple of rather dour weeks on the show, they would be the ones to get me fully locked back into this season again. For that, plus the more quantifiable accomplishments of assimilating an entire Wildling fishing village and just being generally terrifying, they are the first player on the board to get a point score in a single night. But I'm getting ahead of myself, and the episode was filled with plenty of good action before that.
