Game Of Thrones Season 7 Trailer 2 Breakdown: 37 Things You Must See

2. The Lone Wolf Dies

We don't see Sansa again in the trailer, but she has the closing voiceover: "When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies..."

It's an ominous message, especially as we see someone on horseback, looking injured and fleeing for safety. That someone, of course, almost certainly being Jon Snow, who has been fighting against wights and White Walkers.

The words themselves were first said by Ned Stark, in the first book of A Song of Ice and Fire, to Arya. The meaning is, essentially, that the Starks must stick together.

Clearly it's hinting towards a death - with Jon obviously being painted at the lone wolf, but I think that's misdirect.
