House Of The Dragon Season 3: Introducing The Winter Wolves, GOT’s Coolest Army

by

A new trailer for HBO Max’s 2026 content has given fans a first look at season 3 of House of the Dragon. The trailer included some quick, exciting glimpses of the upcoming season and showcased what many are calling one of the most impressive armies ever seen in the Game of Thrones world.

The world of Game of Thrones has featured many impressive armies, like the huge Dothraki, the disciplined Unsullied, the lavishly equipped Tyrells, and the formidable Targaryens. However, the Winter Wolves will be the most spectacular army we’ve seen yet.

Who Are The Winter Wolves In House Of The Dragon Season 3?

The Winter Wolves are warriors from the North who fight for Rhaenyra and her supporters, known as the Blacks. We get a quick glimpse of them traveling through the Twins near the end of the second season. This army is largely made up of older, experienced northern men, many of whom are elderly and nearing the end of their lives.

In the past, it was a tradition among Northern elders to venture out on their own during particularly severe winters. This wasn’t because they wanted to abandon their families, but to avoid becoming a burden during a difficult time. Instead, they sought out opportunities to prove their courage, fight, and ultimately, find a glorious death.

This creates a truly fearsome fighting force – a group with nothing to lose who are deeply committed to Rhaenyra’s cause. They believe this final battle will be their last, and they’ll fight relentlessly, even when facing overwhelming odds. Known as the Winter Wolves, they embody the spirit of the North, and their arrival in House of the Dragon always promises a brutal and spectacular conflict.

House Of The Dragon Season 3 Will Feature The Winter Wolves In One Of The War’s Bloodiest Battles

I just watched the new HBO Max trailer, and it gave us a glimpse of the Winter Wolves! There’s a scene of these older, bearded warriors charging into battle – and getting hit by arrows as they go. We don’t know exactly which fight it is, but it definitely looks like one of the really brutal conflicts from the Dance of Dragons.

The First Battle of Tumbleton is a key conflict in the Dance of Dragons, and it’s expected to be the largest battle depicted in season 3, likely near the season’s finale. It’s a massive confrontation featuring many of the show’s most important characters.

The upcoming battle will highlight the Winter Wolves and demonstrate why they’re such a powerful and intimidating force. While the Northern armies faced defeat in Game of Thrones, season 3 of House of the Dragon will reveal their former strength and reputation.
