It ’s been an agonizing wait for time of year six of Game of Thrones — and it ’s last even longer than usual , since the show ’s premiering in April or else of March this twelvemonth . Somehow this redundant calendar month of waiting feels like a year all by itself . So we ’ve keep ourselves busy by collecting all our major questions about Westeros that we think will finally be answered this season . Hopefully .
Is Jon Snow going to stay dead?
countenance ’s get the biggie out of the means . First , let ’s all notice that Jon Snow is totally , absolutely , 100 % , stagnant — unless every single person who work on Game of Thrones has been lying to use for the last nine month . It ’s much more plausible that he ’s dead , and returns in one of the several ways Christ’s Resurrection can be reach in GoT , all of which boil down to “ magic . ” Book readers have been hanging on this peculiar cliff since A Dance With Dragons was published in July on 2011 ; it will be so bloody right to finally have this resolve .
What happened at the Tower of Joy?
The most important moment in Game of Thrones may have chance years before the time of year started . Rhaegar Targaryen had kidnapped Lyanna Stark , enraging Robert Baratheon to begin the rebellion that would finally gain him the throne . Rhaegar put Lyanna under guard at a place call the Tower of Joy , where a new Ned Stark push his fashion to his babe ’s side , only to see her choke — but not before force Ned to make her a hope . What was the hope ? Why did Lyanna die ? Why exactly did Rhaegar abduct her in the first place , knowing it would almost certainly guide to war ? Rumors have it that season six will have this pivotal shot as a flashback , experienced by Bran as he trains in the nontextual matter of greenseeing . I ’m not sure if it will answer all these questions , but any solvent at all would be cracking .
What else will Bran Stark learn?
We sincerely doubt that the Tower of Joy will be the only key part of Westerosi history that Bran see with his newfound powers . He ’s being trained by the Three - Eyed Raven ( now play by Max von Sydow ) , and should be read not only how to see the past , but possibly the hereafter as well . What other major mystery , lose to time , could Bran uncover ?
Will we see the Horns?
There are two fabled horns in the world of Westeros that we know of : the Horn of Winter , which is enunciate to be able to put down the Wall when blown , and the Dragonbinder , a horn that can control dragons . In the Book , self - style wildling king Mance Rayder had the six - foot Horn of Winter , which was purportedly burn by Melisandre , while Euron Greyjoy has Dragonbinder . We know that time of year six will introduce Euron to the mix , while Samwell Tarly uncovered a ( much minor but as inscrutable ) French horn among a pile of White Walker - killing dragonglass on the Fist of the First Men , way back in season two . Is this the TV ’s version of the Horn of Winter ? Do either of these horns in reality have these superpower as push ? Will one or both come up into frolic this season ? As Chekhov always said , “ If you enclose a magical Draco - control horn in deed one , someone ’s got ta fuck up it , and then control some flying dragon . ” ( I ’m paraphrasing . )
What will Sam learn at Oldtown?
When we last left Sam , he was travel to Oldtown with Gilly and her babe , in hopes of grooming to become a Maester at the Citadel . Specifically , he hoped to be able to find something that would help the Night ’s Watch battle the White Walkers , because the history books — like in any medieval society — can be passably dodgy , and it ’s intemperate to tell what is legend and what is fact ( and what caption is actually a fact ) . The novels make these discrepancies more overt , especially in regard to magic and the White Walkers , and it ’s implied that the Maesters have been cover information about these thing on purpose . Why ? What thunderbolt ( or thunderbolt ) will Sam learn , and will he be able to get the information to the Night ’s Watch ( and if he does , will anyone listen to him ) ? I think we can safely guess that the reason GRRM direct Sam to Oldtown was n’t just to give him a place to advert out — but instead to key out some noesis that will entirely commute the Game .

Did Jorah give greyscale to anyone?
While bringing the captive Tyrion to Daenerys in hopes of regaining her favor , Jorah Mormont sign on the pestilence - same disease live as greyscale , which is basically a slow form of petrifaction that also drives citizenry insane . Also , it ’s highly transmittable , but Jorah had no job unite Meereen ’s gladiatorial game or entering Daenerys ’ palace . How many people has he spread out the disease to ? Is a plague going to descend on Meereen ? Does Daenerys have it ?
Will the Boltons get what’s coming to them?
It ’s wild to think about , but the Boltons have ruled Winterfell longer than the Starks have , at least on - screen ; the Starks were rousted by Theon and the Iron - born in episode six of season two , while the Boltons took over Winterfell pretty much at the outset of season three . While there ’s no promise that Game of Thrones will have a well-chosen ending , it ’s a secure wager that at the terminal of the serial we ’ll see the Starks back in charge , which means at some point we ’ll get to see Westeros ’ most vicious jerked meat get their just desserts . Is this the season where it happens ? Man , we go for so .
What the hell is Littlefinger’s plan?
Now that Varys is helping Daenerys in Meereen ( even if the Queen of Dragons is presently MIA ) Petyr “ Littlefinger ” Baelish is presently the biggest mastermind playing the titular secret plan . He ’s managed to take charge of the Eyrie and forged an confederation with the North , thanks to bear Sansa to the Boltons for Ramsey to splice . It seems obvious that Littlefinger ’s endgame is nothing less than the Iron Throne himself , but how will he achieve this — or , more specifically , remove the route between him and King ’s Landing ? Even if we learn the full scope of Littlefinger ’s scheme , sure the next phase will be read place in time of year six .
What will the Faith Militant do to Margaery and Loras?
Cersei managed to get by the captivity of the High Sparrow and the Faith Militant by concede her sins and take the ultimate walk of pity through King ’s Landing . However , Queen Margaery and her brother Loras Tyrell are still held captive , Loras for the crime of engaging in “ buggery , ” and Magaery for perjure herself during his test . The only fashion Cersei realise her freedom was by completely humbling herself . Will Margaery do the same before the Faith Militant breaks her ? And what will be Loras ’ fate ? It seems unlikely that the High Sparrow would make him take a similar walk of ignominy , but it also seems more like that his punishment will be more … corporeal . Which leads us to the next question …
What are the Tyrells going to do?
There is no way the ruler of Highgarden are proud of that their two of their own are being held captive by a bunch of religious zealots , and there ’s even less of a opportunity of the razor - abrupt Olenna Tyrell not plotting to free them ( and plausibly get a bunch of revenge , too ) . The Tyrells are almost certain to attain in season six , and there ’s a all-fired good chance they defy Cersei creditworthy for Margaery and Loras ’ imprisonment . ( Because she was . )
Will Dany finally come to Westeros?
At some point , the last Targaryen needs to get along home to regain the Iron Throne ; it ’s what we ’ve been waiting for since time of year one . mightily now , she ’s lost her urban center - state of Meereen , she ’s lose her dragon , and she ’s been get hold of captive by the Dothraki , who seem to have no memories , adoring or otherwise , of her time as Khal Drogo ’s bride . Where are they taking her , and what do they planning on doing with her ? Sure , it seems impossible that Daenerys could go from incapacitated captive to encroacher of the seven kingdom by the end of season six , but there are supposedly only two time of year leave after this — she really does n’t have much sentence left to dawdle . On the positive side , if she somehow superintend to get these Dothraki on her side , she ’s going to have yet another jumbo army under her control …
Where the hell is Rickon Stark?
SERIOUSLY . We last see Rickon in season three , and we have zero idea what happened to him or where he went , other than the fact that Osha the Wilding and his direwolf Shaggydog went with him . There is no way Rickon ’s story is just done , so what is he doing , and when will he come back ? Maybe most importantly , what will he be like when he returns ? He was very , very young when he break off from Bran , and he already was kind of a hothead . Since then , the graven image only know what has come about to him , and his only guardian has been a Wildling . He ’s not going to be another even - keeled Robb Stark , that ’s for sure .
