Game Of Thrones Season 6 March Madness Trailer Breakdown: 21 Things You Must See

10. Tower Of Joy

Few elements, if any, of Season 6 are as exciting as this: the Tower of Joy sequence. We saw a couple of quick shots of it in the previous trailer, and it's expanded here to give us a better look at a couple of its participants. The main person in the images above and below definitely seem to be a younger Ned Stark, who is of course the man leading the soldiers into battle against the Kingsguard, in order to rescue his sister Lyanna.
And then there's the man with two swords. From what we've seen of the Tower of Joy so far, he's the most prominent of those fighting in Targaryen armour, so there's a very good chance this is Ser Arthur Dayne. Unfortunately it seems as though he won't have his greatsword Dawn, but then maybe two swords are better than one. (They're not, we want to see Dawn, dammit!)
Not clearly seen here is the man we've all been waiting to meet: Howland Reed. The only other known survivor of the Tower of Joy, and now the last one standing after Ned's death, there's been no confirmation on his appearance, but he has to be here. Could that be him on the left of this shot?
