The fifth season of Game Of Thrones left many fans shocked, depressed, and instantly pining for details of the next episode. And it turns out that information regarding the upcoming sixth season to the HBO behemoth might already be with us after an alleged leaked script for the show was released online.
Obviously there are SPOILERS ahead for both the end of the fifth season of Game Of Thrones and maybe even upcoming episodes. So, if you’re not up-to date, you probably shouldn’t read ahead. You have been warned.
According to Watchers on the Wall , via the Independent , a new character, possibly played by British actress Tehmina Sunn, will be introduced, named Kinvara, a red priestess who ends up spending time in Meeren with Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) and Varys (Conleth Hill).
This character has been described as “beautiful, intense, and magnetic,” and it’s believed that she is in her 20s or 30s. A video of Sunn auditioning for the part was released online earlier this week, but has subsequently been taken down.
Meanwhile, the fate of Emilia Clarke’s Daenerys Targaryen was also teased in the leaked clip. The Khaleesi Queen and ruler of the dragons was last seen at the end of the fifth season stranded after her dragon had flown her from certain death in Meeren.
And some dialogue from this first episode between Tyrion/Varys and Kinvara suggests Kinvara might not have the best intentions for Daenerys. According to Metro , their exchange reads as follows.
Kinvara: “Her dragons are fire made flesh. A gift from the Lord of Light. But you’ve heard all of this before, haven’t you? On the Long Bridge of Volantis? The dragons purify nonbelievers by the thousands, burning their sins and flesh away.”
Tyrion/Varys: “Ideally, we’d avoid purifying many non-believers. The Mother of the Dragon has followers from many different faiths.”
Kinvara: “You want your queen to be worshiped and obeyed. And while she’s gone, you want her advisors to be worshiped and obeyed.”
Tyrion: “I’d settle for obeyed.”
Kinvara: “I will summon mummers and appoint priests. They will spread the word. Daenerys has been sent to lead the people against the darkness.. for this war, and the Great War yet to come.”
Varys: “That sounds excellent. A man named Stannis Baratheon was appointed as the Chosen One by one of your priestesses. He too had a glorious destiny. He attacked King’s Landing, and was soundly defeated by the man standing beside me. Last I heard, he’d been defeated again. This time at Winterfell.. and this time for good.”
