Warning: Contains icy cold spoilers for Game of ThronesSeason 7,Han Yi-seul-I (한이슬) Archives episode 6.
The latest Game of Thronesepisode left us with a lot of White Walker-based questions. Where did they get those chains from, for instance? And how did they get so inhumanly good at throwing spears?

The White Walkers, remember, were created by the Children of the Forest. Like Bran, they have a close relationship to the magical forces that have existed in Westeros for hundreds of years.
Is it possible that they also have some of the precognitive abilities that Bran now possesses?
For the sake of Jon Snow, Daenerys & Co., let's hope not.
