"The elders of Beirut support Jon Snow in his war against the White Walkers," one banner hanging in Beirut read.

As the world braces for the eight and final season of Game of Thrones to drop on Sunday, one fan took it upon himself to call his banners in show of support of the King in the North — well, in a manner of speaking. A set of banners have begun popping up in Beirut, the capital city of Lebanon, in the last few days to give helpful advice and encouragement to some of the show's main characters. On one banner, originally hung on one of Beirut's main bridges, the writer declares, "The elders of Beirut support Jon Snow in his war against the White Walkers."

My best firend ladies and gentlemen 😂🤣 #GoT @FTimrawi

The originator of the banners, Faysal Timrawi, told BuzzFeed News in a Skype interview on Wednesday that he came up with the idea while speaking with his friend Ziad, who tweeted the first pictures of his handiwork. "We were just waiting and counting the days for the final season to show up," Timrawi, a 32-year-old architect with a business that operates in both Lebanon and Jordan, said. "I told him about the idea and wanted to make something funny about it."

In Lebanon's fractured political scene, where 13 separate parties have seats in parliament, banners supporting various parties and candidates can often be found hanging around the capital city. It was in that spirit that Timrawi decided to hang a few of his own. "Even the signature [on the first banner] 'friends of Faysal' was a joke about what's happening in Beirut," he said.

Timrawi says he's been a fan of Game of Thrones since the second season aired. The show technically airs in Lebanon the day after the US premiere thanks to time zones — it comes on at 4 AM Mondays with Arabic subtitles — but as a fan of other fantasy works like The Lord of the Rings, Timrawi said it's worth the wait.

The first — and biggest — banner got taken down not long after it was hung. He isn't sure who actually removed it, but that hasn't stopped him from producing more, including one that declares, "The White Walkers took down the first banner, but we will not shut up."

يا جماعة فَكّولنا اليافطات، مش رح نسكت 🤣

In another, Timrawi begs Queen Cersei, First of Her Name, to unite with the rest of Westeros in the fight against the Army of the Dead.

"Cersei Lannister...open your mind...our strength is in our unity," the banner reads.

THIS ONE THOUGH!
