5th place: the gold path
The bottom of this list is the gold path. This is one of the main streets in Westeros, which connects the realm of Casterlystein in the west to Königsmund in the east. Among other things, the Goldweg is also used to transport gold from the famous gold mines in the Lennisters to the capital. Hence the right name.

An army of the Lennisters, accompanied by Jaime, therefore transports gold and food on the gold path to Königsmund. But shortly before you reach your goal, you will be attacked by Daenerys on your dragon Drogon and the Dothraki. There is a violent battle, in which numerous soldiers in particular fall victim to the deadly kite flames.
Number of deaths: 116
