Telltale has released the first information about its upcoming episodic Game of Thrones title, and it's pretty tantalising stuff.The below image was revealed and, while solid facts are thin on the ground, that hasn't stopped us from doing some research about what it all may mean. As you can probably imagine,. With that out of the way, speculation hats on. We're going in.As House Forrester stands out, it seems that this could be the group we're likely to focus on. In the books, we never meet any named character from this noble house, though we do know they're from the Wolfswood in the North and sworn to House Glover of Deepwood Motte. As a result, it seems we're likely to encounter an entirely original character when the story starts.Also in the books, they're mentioned as the scouts Lady Glover sends to help Stannis Baratheon travel through the Wolfswood as he travels to Winterfell. That's the context for the quote at the top of the image, which is said by Asha Greyjoy... who is from the Iron Islands. Linking into that hashtag, she's in effect "Iron" rescued from "Ice" by her capture in the North.But there's more to it than that. Stannis makes Iron from Ice by intervening in the goings on at The Wall. If we assume "Iron" refers to power, he wins the iron swords of the Northmen, who are likely the ice in this interpretation. Or, possibly, it refers to Stannis earning the "Iron Throne" by being the only individual to actually care for the good of the realm by taking the fight to the Others, beings as cold as ice. Also, he does this by paying the iron price valued so highly by House Greyjoy, through strength rather than political intrigue and riches.When we begged Telltale to respond to our thoughts and ideas, we were told "We’re unable to confirm any new information about the game. Stay tuned for additional details soon."For now then, our best guess is that the series will follow Stannis' troubled march to Winterfell as he's battered by snowstorms and prepares to face off against the Boltons, with you taking the role of a member of House Forrester. Are we right? We'll have to wait and see.
