Recently, a few new photos from (one of the many) Game of Thrones season three sets has come to light, showing a small portion of one of the larger houses of Westeros. Yes, just when you think you?ve gotten a grasp on all of the characters and locations in Game of Thrones, there?s a new season on the horizon full of even more people and places to keep track of. But for fans of the book series, the revelations in casting and location scouting are exciting in order to see how showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss are adapting certain aspects of the A Song of Ice and Fire world.

The pictures are most certainly showing details from Riverrun, home of House Tully. Catelyn Stark originally hailed from here, in what?s called the Riverlands (the area which the house rules over), before marrying Ned Stark and moving to Winterfell.

Iwan Rheon cast as 'Boy'

My guess about his role:

Ramsay Snow

.

Whoever does the casting deserves a medal. This guy owned Misfits and he's another great addition.

I think Robert Sheehan owned the show and it hasn't been nearly as good without him. Still, he's the second best out of the group. Especially when given the opportunity.

The Rome actor has been cast as Wildling leader Mance Rayder, the King Beyond the Wall. Rayder has united the disparate clans of the Far North behind a single mission: To attack The Wall. He?s been frequently referenced (though unseen) in the HBO hit fantasy drama?s first two seasons. In the second season finale, undercover Night?s Watchman Jon Snow (Kit Harington) was being taken to meet Rayder.

First Production Still & Scene Description From GAME OF THRONES Season 3

"It was an important rehearsal, and the two main protagonists are two of my season favorites: an unexpected pairing, whose war of words is almost as full-on as the fight. This struggle has been choreographed and rehearsed for weeks, with each move carefully placed to match the terrain. The fighters wore pads and fell on crash matts, though for the close-ups later in the week, during the first night shoot of the season, the landing would not be quite so comfortable. It will be a character-defining scene, for more than one who is involved, so it has to be done well.

More departments began to arrive for a full run-through. VFX was involved in creating the final moments of the scene, and special effects had a lot to do to make it all work. Armoury had designed a special weapon for this scene alone, and there was a nervous moment when it was first tested against the wood of a massive tree stump and the body of one of our brave stunt guys."

    • That's not what I meant:) I like the tabs being above the URL bar, but previously the tab selection started from the top of the screen (y=0). So I could just quickly push my mouse up and done. Now I have to actually aim it just slightly below the top, because the tab is now a few pixels below the top. In other words, previously I only had to aim with my mouse horizontally, now I have to both vertically and horizontally. Super annoying.
