Is Game of Thrones’ House Stark Book-Accurate to A Song of Ice and Fire?

The words of House Stark ring true throughout the entirety of Game of Thrones: “Winter is coming.” Armed with relentless honor and silver swords, the Starks were well-prepared for the inevitable Long Night, even if a few of them were lost along the way. As heroic as they are in the show, there are a few details Game of Thrones missed about the Starks from George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire.The Starks are one of the largest noble families at the start of Game of Thrones, with Eddard “Ned” Stark as Lord of Winterfell and Catelyn Stark as his wife. Their children include Robb, Sansa, Arya, Bran and Rickon. There’s also Ned’s illegitimate son, Jon Snow, who is later revealed to be the son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark, Ned’s sister. While very few of them stick together, the Starks walk down their own paths of life as they attempt to survive the harrowing world of Westeros amid a succession war and the fight against the undead. For some Starks, their stories were very different in the books.The show portrays Bran as the only warg to encapsulate his uniqueness among his family. But the books tell another story. The current generation of Starks appear to all be wargs to some degree, with Bran being the most advanced due to his training. The books never explain how the Starks suddenly gained these supernatural abilities, but there are theories that the Starks have possessed the magic of wargs since the Age of Heroes. It only took a close connection to direwolves and a revival of magic in the known world to jumpstart those abilities.
