It doesn't matter that the fifth season of 'Game of Thrones' is officially over; people are still clamoring for news about the next chapter of HBO's hit show. Several speculations have surfaced, including the return of the fully trained warg Bran Stark and his long-lost brother Rickon Stark.
More casting news had been uncovered, and the call for new characters is offering a glimpse at how the story will continue in Season Six.
[WARNING, SPOILERS AHEAD]
It has recently been reported that several casting calls were released, most of which were asking for actors to play Northmen. However, one listed role only called for a "Legendary Fighter." The description of the role is listed below:
"A man in his thirties or forties who is a great swordsman and a paragon of knighthood. He carries a hugely famous sword on his back. The show is seeking a very impressive swordsman for the role- the best in Europe, for a week of filming fight scenes for a season 6 role. His ethnicity/race isn't specified, unlike many other roles."
The mention of the famous sword has led fans to speculate that this is a casting call for Ser Arthur Dayne, who was known as the Sword of the Morning and carried a sword named Dawn. Arthur Dayne was known for his sword-fighting skills and for being the best friend of Prince Rhaegar Targaryen.
The knight had allegedly assisted Rhaegar in abducting Ned's sister Lyanna Stark, leading to Robert Baratheon's rebellion. Although Arthur Dayne has been killed by Ned Stark, the casting has led to rumors that a flashback will feature what really happened in the Tower of Joy.
Hopeful fans are even pushing for the flashback to finally reveal Jon Snow's real parents.
Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) may be ruling Meereen quite easily in the new season. An audition video featuring Tyrion and a "Red Priestess" has been leaked, but quickly taken down.
The tape allegedly shows an actress reading for the part of "Kinvara," a priestess of the Lord of the Light who wishes to help Tyrion and Varys. The exchange reveals that Tyrion has a larger role to play in the future.
