Ladies and gentlemen, it's the end of an era.
Crashing its way onto our screens with impressive violence, plenty of dramatic twists and turns and around 100 percent more incest than we're used to seeing, Game of Thrones will take its final bow this April, as the HBO fantasy epic nears its final credits.
Eager to avoid even hinting at a spoiler, HBO have kept things close to their chest, but Twitter might have just put the cat amongst the pigeons, so to speak. As part of a retweet campaign to drum up anticipation for the latest series (as if any was needed), we've got as many as 20 new character posters to look at.
...Oh. You wanted me to show them to you. That's fair enough. Okay.
1. First up, here's Jon Snow
