After surviving the Battle of Castle Black in the penultimate episode of Season 4, Jon Snow was left as one of only 50 remaining guards of the Night’s Watch.

Many believed he would have his fate handed to him by the wildlings, but Stannis Baratheon came forward and halted Mance Rayder’s siege. As Snow knows Stannis is the true king of the Seven Kingdoms, will he move forward as part of the charge to topple the throne, or stay and defend the wall with the Night’s Watch?

 

Tyrion Lannister

Being one of the most popular characters through the first three seasons, Tyrion’s journey took an unexpected twist when he was wrongly accused of murdering his nephew King Joffrey.

The Season 4 finale saw Tyrion escape the jail with the help of his brother Jaime, before shooting his father Tywin Lannister. We last see Tyrion hidden aboard a ship to Essos, with Lord Varys accompanying him as the alarms ring at King’s Landing. Will Varys help Tyrion escape the clutches of the death penalty when they arrive in Essos, or will he alert Cersei to his whereabouts?

With Brann, Sansa and Arya all spread out across the Seven Kingdoms, will we ever see a commanding Stark presence in the show again?

The end of the fourth season saw Arya leave “The Hound” for dead, departing Westeros and boarding a ship to the Free Cities. Can Arya mount a Stark revival to avenge the murders of her family? Will the coin Jaqen H’ghar give her help more along the way?
