Photographs and trailers for the upcoming season of Game of Thrones have provided us with some sense of what to expect--wars, dragons, Daenerys in Westeros, Littlefinger looking suspicious, and so on. We now have an even better idea of what's to come from all three episodes of Season 7 airing in July.

　　HBO today issued a press release heralding the impending debut of Season 7. This includes descriptions and episode names for Episodes 1-3. As always, these are on the terse side, though they do give some sense of where characters are and allow us to speculate. That includes guessing who the "unexpected visitor" is that Daenerys encounters in Episode 2.
