The call has gone out: war is coming, and tonight on the season two premiere of the hit HBO series Game of Thrones, it's coming to stay.
First you'll notice the picture above: actor Nonso Anozie will play the role of Xaro Xhoan Daxos, "a powerful merchant prince of the great city of Qarth." He is the first Black person cast in a major role for the series, and looks like he'll play a pivotal part in the conflict between sovereigns.
Second, here's videos taking a very brief look at five of the major houses and what they have going on for season two …
Finally, one fan used all the available resources to create "the most complete map ever made" of Westeros and Essos …
… referenced from over 20 pre-existing maps. This map includes over 250+ locations:
Labeled on the map are: Seas, Bays, Islands, Regions, Lakes, Rivers, Ruins, Settlements, Cities, Mountains, Forests, Roads, Towers, The Wall … etc.

To my knowlege the map covers an area over 25,000 Square Miles.
Game of Thrones has its season two premiere tonight at 9PM Eastern and Pacific Standard Time.
