New 'Game of Thrones' Photos Reveal: People Gonna Die

The new photos and trailer hint at an important battle to come.

Jon Snow may know nothing, but neither do Game of Thrones fans anymore. After last week's resurrection of Lord Commander Snow (codename: "LC"), even book readers have no idea what will come next. If the show itself is any indication, Snow might be a very changed man. The two other resurrected characters—Beric Dondarrion of the Brotherhood Without Banners and Gregor "the Mountain" Clegane—came back, respectively, as a shell of his former self and a speechless zombie abomination. Be careful what you wish for, Ser Davos.

What clues do we have about the next episode, "Oathbreaker"? HBO just released teaser photos today to go along with the episode trailer. Tyrion seems to be attending the Essos Met Gala as he glowers with a glass of wine and a shiny tunic. Arya is still playing blind Donatello, despite winning the last round of the "my name is no one" game with her Faceless Men trainers. Davos is looking a little shocked to see… something. (Did Jon Snow's loincloth fall off during the resurrection?)

By far the most interesting photo features the twisted Maester Qyburn hanging out with a room full of children. Is Qyburn—last seen creating the Franken-Clegane knight—about to open the St. Qyburn School for Little Necromancers? Or is lonely Franken-Clegane about to get a new set of undead friends?

We also see the Three-Eyed-Raven and Bran chilling in a sunny locale. From the episode-three trailer, we know that they are witnessing one of the most pivotal—and mysterious—moments of the entire story: the battle at the Tower of Joy.

Here, Ned Stark and a few fellow soldiers defeated prince Rhaegar's men that were guarding his sister, Lyanna Stark. It was Lyanna's kidnapping by Rhaegar that set off the series of events that led to Robert Baratheon and his rebels overthrowing the Targaryen king. This moment also features an important promise Ned made to his dying sister. Could it have something to do with a certain resurrected bastard? We may just find out Sunday.
