Season 7 'Sigils Tease.'

The new teaser trailer came at the end of a Facebook Live stream in which fans were encouraged to comment "Fire" or "Dracarys" to melt a block of ice containing "GOT" Season 7 premiere date.

Below you can watch the full video:

The teaser trailer features voiceovers from several characters. The first one is Daenerys Targaryen (Fire), and the last one is Jon Snow (Ice). The video features, in chronological order, voiceovers from Daenerys, Robert Baratheon, Cersei Lannister, Joeffrey "Baratheon," Balon Greyjoy, Roose Bolton, Olenna Tyrell, Qyburn, Dany again, Ned Stark and Jon Snow (plus a scream from Catelyn Stark).

'Sigils Tease' tells us a lot about next season's plot

HBO's official teaser says a lot about the next season of the show. Daenerys remembering her father atrocities clearly hints at the possibility of her going "Dracarys-crazy" in season 7. The sigils crawling down at the end of the clip apparently symbolize the ruin in which Westeros is driven by the never-ending struggle for power of its rulers.

Significantly, pieces of the rocky sigils became a spiral pattern, the same model drawn by the White Walkers in previous seasons (remember the Children of the Forest's flashback?)

The Others are here, tell us Jon Snow at the end of the clip. Daenerys will invade Westeros and probably score some victories, but what really matters is the "true war", "the only war", the war against The Others.

Almost every actor stated that "season 7 will be worth the wait". Since we're pretty sure we will see Daenerys' war against the Lannisters (with Tyrion as her advisor), the meeting of Ice and Fire (Jon and Dany) and the beginning of the war against The Others, we agree with Liam Cunningham: "It will be worth the wait"!
