Warning: Spoilers ahead for season five of "Game of Thrones."
"Game of Thrones" returns to HBO on April 24, and fans are pumped to see their favorite characters back on screen. Since it's been nearly nine months since the season five finale, we took it upon ourselves to remind fans about all the important details you should know heading into Sunday's season six premiere.
Let's dive into everything you need to know. And don't worry — we left out any known details about season six in case you want to go in blind.
Let's start up north. Roose Bolton and his wife, Walda Frey, are expecting a baby. Ramsay, Roose's bastard son, isn't too happy.
Even though Ramsay was legitimized (dropping the surname Snow and taking Bolton), Roose's new baby — who is believed to be a boy — is technically a threat to Ramsay. The Boltons are currently occupying the Stark home of Winterfell, and are trying to secure their hold on the North.
The Boltons were prepared for battle against Stannis, who wanted to conquer the North as part of his attempt at taking the Iron Throne.
Stannis knew the Boltons were loyal to the Lannisters and King Tommen, which meant he would have to uproot them from Winterfell and take the North if he were to be king.
Stannis and his wife, Selyse, made the choice to burn their daughter Shireen alive in order to please the Lord of Light.
They needed the snow to melt in order to attack the Boltons, and Melisandre promised this was the only way forward. Unfortunately, the child sacrifice actually caused sections of Stannis' troops to abandon their king. The snow did melt, however, and Stannis forged on.
