As she stares at the statue of her mother, the voice of Catelyn Stark (Michelle Fairley) is then heard, saying: “All this horror that’s come to this family, is all because I couldn’t love a motherless child”.
Arya Stark is then introduced to the promo to join her sister under Winterfell – with all the surviving Stark family members reuniting, some were baffled to realise Bran Stark was not in the Game of Thrones teaser trailer.

“You are a Stark. You might not have my name, but you have my blood,” Sean Bean’s character says over the footage.

Arya and Jon both draw their swords, ready to battle, as the frost descends over the Winterfell chambers.
