Game of Thrones Season 6 Everything that We’ve Known So Far All Around The Kingdom

Once again Winter is Coming this April as Game of thrones season 6 will set to premiere this coming April 24, 2016. Before the season premiere will start let us just take a look what we have know so far in season 6 based in trailers and spoilers that we read online.

Now that the show has fully caught up with George R.R. Martin's epic-fantasy novel series A Song of Ice and Fire both book-readers and newbie viewers are totally in the dark about what's going to happen next. That makes keeping track of the show's sprawling cast and countless subplots more crucial and more daunting than ever. With out a surprise for the newbie fans that George can even kill off your favorite character in the show you better prepare all the time.

The Wall Jon Snow is dead. The idealistic 998th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch was stabbed to death by his own men led by his longtime nemesis Ser Alliser Thorne for the crime of getting too cozy with the wildlings, whom he'd allowed through the Wall to save them from the White Walkers. Of course, there are different degrees of "dead" in this world, and the big question at the start of this season is whether Lord Snow will rise again aided, perhaps, by his psychic bond with his direwolf Ghost, or resurrected by the magic powers of Melisandre, the red priestess who's demonstrated an ability to raise the dead in the past.

The North There are no White Walkers south of the Wall (not yet, anyway), but monsters are abound nonetheless. Foremost among them: the Bolton boys, Roose and Ramsay, who have seized control of the ancestral Stark fortress Winterfell and defeated Stannis Baratheon's army. They had plenty of help from Stannis himself: He burned his awesome daughter Shireen alive as a blood sacrifice to the Lord of Light, driving his wife to suicide and seeing half his forces flee in disgust.

It was Brienne of Tarth, however, who delivered the killing blow against the man who would be king, at last getting revenge for his Melisandre-assisted shadow-murder of his brother Renly. Unfortunately, this meant she and her sidekick Podrick Payne took their eyes off the prize, abandoning their stakeout of Winterfell just when Sansa Stark, wedded to Ramsay and subject to his sexual sadism, signaled for their aid in escaping.

But Lady Stark found help anyway, in the wretched form of Theon Greyjoy, better known to his cruel Bolton masters as Reek. Finally snapping after untold abuse, he killed Ramsay's vicious paramour Myranda, then leaped off Winterfell's walls into the snow with Sansa before the Bolton forces returned from battle. Their current status and whereabouts are unknown.

Braavos The watery "free city" off Westeros' eastern coast is the current home to Arya Stark, who spent the season training under master assassin Jaqen H'ghar to join his order of mystical murderers, the Faceless Men. But while she's supposed to become "no one," she's still a Stark at heart. When she gets the opportunity to kill Ser Meryn Trant — the brutal pedophilic Kingsguard responsible for so much of the family's misfortune — she seizes it with gory gusto. This sits ill with her new bosses, who only kill when given the order, and she is magically blinded as punishment. The Iron Islands West Coast represent: Though they've receded to the background for several seasons, the warlike Ironborn are still nominally an independent kingdom, ruled by Balon Greyjoy, the last of the War of the Five Kings' main monarchs left standing. (Renly Baratheon, Robb Stark, Joffrey Baratheon, and Stannis Baratheon have all gone to meet the Seven, and you can throw in King-beyond-the-Wall Mance Rayder for good measure.) His daughter Yara may be helping him rule these rugged islands off Westeros' western shore, though her abortive rescue mission of her castrated brother Theon may have driven a wedge between them.

King's Landing Technically, the capital of the Seven Kingdoms is still ruled by Tommen Baratheon, but, well … it's complicated. The boy king was already being used as pawn in the power struggle between his wife Queen Margaery Tyrell and his mother Queen Cersei Lannister, who was losing that particular battle. In her rage and paranoia, she gave free rein to the Faith Militant, an army of fanatical worshippers of the Seven led by the grandfatherly beggar priest called the High Sparrow. This worked out well for a while, as the fundamentalists arrested Margaery's brother Loras for homosexuality and tossed her in jail for covering it up in the bargain. But the Queen Mother herself finally found herself on the wrong end of their wrath when her born-again cousin Lancel revealed their incestuous relationship and her involvement in the death of her ex-husband King Robert. Her partial confession led to the humiliating walk of shame that served as the centerpiece of Season Five's finale.

So who's in charge now? Well, the High Sparrow rules the streets, but Tommen still sits the Iron Throne, and his great-uncle Kevan Lannister serves as the Hand. Presumably Lady Olenna Tyrell, the matriarch of Margaery's family, won't let either of her grandkids go down without a fight. Yet even a humiliated Cersei has a secret weapon: Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane. Brought back from the brink of death after he was poisoned in a duel against the Red Viper of Dorne, he's now the Kingsguard's newest member — and oh yeah, he's a mute, blue-faced zombie, too. Hey, what could go wrong?

Dorne The culturally distinct southernmost of the Seven Kingdoms had largely been spared the destruction of the War of the Five Kings, until Prince Oberyn Martell, aka the Red Viper, attempted to get revenge against the Lannisters and their lackey Gregor Clegane for the murder of his queenly sister during Robert's Rebellion years before. To put it mildly, it backfired. With his girlfriend Ellaria Sand and their daughters the Sand Snakes swearing revenge, Cersei sent her brother Jaime and his sparring partner Bronn right into their home turf to bring back their daughter Myrcella, whom Tyrion had sent to Dorne as a bargaining chip, before they can take out their anger on her. Prince Doran Martell prevented the two groups from coming to blows, insisting on peace and offering to relinquish the young woman as long as her fiancé — his son Trystane — could travel back to King's Landing with them to serve on Tommen's Small Council.

Meereen The easternmost stop in our world tour takes us from ice to fire. The city of Meereen, conquered by Daenerys Targaryen, her dragons, and her patchwork army of freed slaves, is currently as unstable a place as King's Landing, if not more so. It's got a fanatical insurgency, the Sons of the Harpy, and an assassinated leader, Dany's fiancé Hizdar zo Loraq. But no one back at the Red Keep has to deal with two dragons chained in the basement, and the third, Drogon, running amok before rescuing his "mother" and fleeing to parts unknown with her on his back.

With the Khaleesi in the wind, it falls to her advisors to rule in her stead. This means a strange-bedfellows triumvirate of her right-hand woman Missandei, the young leader of the elite Unsullied troops Grey Worm, and newcomer Tyrion Lannister, who fled to Meereen in hopes of joining forces with her against his hated family. The trio are now in charge, with the Imp's spymaster buddy Varys riding shotgun. Meanwhile, the two men vying for the Queen's affection, sexy sellsword Daario Naharis and turncoat exile Ser Jorah Mormont, have set off to find her bringing Mormont's hidden greyscale infection and the potential for a plague with them.
