Game Of Thrones Season 8 Trailer Breakdown: 21 Things You Need To See

11. Gendry's Back And Winterfell Prepares

Winterfell is busy preparing for war, and they need a lot more weapons if they're going to take on the vast swathes of wights at the Night King's disposal.

Luckily, they have Gendry on hand, a smith who trained under Tobho Mott, one of the finest in the realm. They can't just make any old weapons though, so Gendry will have to be busy taking that Dragonstone dragonglass and shaping it into swords and shields.

Furthermore, Mott was one of the few left in Westeros who knew how to work Valyrian steel. Could Gendry have learned it from him, and might he be able to forge more now? It's entirely possible, especially with dragon fire so close to hand. Gendry being at Winterfell also means that we should be getting a reunion with him and Arya, which is likely to be one of the sweetest moments in a season quite short on such scenes.
