are born and live and die all in darkness while the direwolves grow gaunt and
hungry, and the white walkers move through the woods"

When he opened the door, the light from within threw his shadow clear across the yard, and for just a moment Tyrion Lannister stood tall as a king."
― George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones
