Game Of Thrones: Season 7 - 8 Clues From "Stormborn" Trailer

5. The Stark Army Moves Out

It's only a very brief shot in the trailer, but there's a flash of Stark soldiers leaving Winterfell, armoured up and ready to fight.

There may be some temptation to suggest that this is Jon's party on the way to visit Dragonstone, but it's probably too early for that, since Dany is too busy planning how to attack Westeros and weighing up Yara's advice. And the synopsis' promise of an "unexpected visitor" to Dragonstone is probably more likely to be Melisandre (who we've seen there in the trailers and who will no doubt be beginning to realise that Dany is her best option for Azor Ahai reborn now).

So where are the Starks going? North to the Wall to retrieve Bran perhaps? That would make sense, since Dolores Edd will no doubt send word that he's there, and there's no way we'll be forced to watch his slow sled journey south (again).
