Robert is fatally wounded and names Joffrey as his successor. Their deaths left Eddard to inherit Rickard's responsibilities, becoming the new Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North.

Robert may be Ned's best friend but he is also his doom. Bringing Ned to King's Landing seals his fate.What is even more extraordinary is that the stag killed the direwolf by driving an antler into its neck.

Missandei, on the other hand, was not so lucky.Missandei's capture by Cersei was something no one saw coming, even if Daenerys and company were too blind to realize the danger they were walking into.

"My mother wishes me to let Lord Eddard join the Night's Watch... stripped of all titles and powers, he would serve the realm in permanent exile. Varys also runs to the King, who remains adamant in his decision.

We know the six direwolves were linked to the fates of the six Stark children but it's easy to overlook there is also another brutal and bleak message in that scene where they find the dead direwolf and her cubs. The Grand Maester intervenes and after speaking of the justice and mercy of the gods he asks the King what will be done with the traitor.
