Warning: Spoilers ahead for "Game of Thrones" season seven.

"Game of Thrones" season seven is just around the corner — the penultimate season airs on Sunday, July 16, at 9 p.m. Ahead of the new episodes, we've gathered all the major details released through trailers, new cast interviews, and more.

Keep reading for a look at what to expect in "Game of Thrones" season seven.

Daenerys is heading to Dragonstone.

At the end of season six, Daenerys finally set sail for Westeros. Thanks to details in the first trailer, we know that she'll land on the island stronghold Dragonstone. Not only was this where she was born, but it's an ancient Targaryen castle built on top of a huge obsidian (dragonglass) deposit. This should come in handy, considering that dragonglass is one of the few materials known to be deadly in a fight against White Walkers.

Dany will claim the Dragonstone seat as her own with no resistance, since its previous lord was Stannis Baratheon and he's long gone.

 



The Lannisters, led by Jaime and Bronn, will clash with Daenerys' Dothraki and Unsullied.

Multiple shots in the new trailer have set up a fierce battle between Cersei's Lannister forces and Daenerys' two armies. According to a report from Entertainment Weekly, "Game of Thrones" broke a record while filming by lighting the largest number of stuntmen on fire for a single scene. 



The field isn't the only place they'll meet. The Unsullied will also attack what looks like Casterly Rock — the Lannisters' castle.

Based on the context of this shot from the trailer, with Lannister sigils on the entryway and a dead Lannister guard, we're sure this is Casterly Rock. The prospect of seeing the Lannister stronghold is super exciting — in the book series, Casterly Rock is described as sitting at the top of a huge cliff that's nearly three times higher than the Wall.
