Season 2 of Game of Thrones is set to air this sunday at 9pm EST and HBO has given us a first look at several scenes from the first two episodes of the season titled “The North Remembers” and “The Night Lands”. Season 1 left us with a war brewing after the death of King Robert and the brutal death of Lord Ned Stark at the hands of the new king Joffery Baratheon. Some of the tag lines for the new season have included Daenerys where she describes the current situation like this, “The time to strike is now. The Starks fight the Lannisters, the Baratheons fight each other”. Here is a snyopsis of episode 1 airing this Sunday.

As Robb Stark and his northern army continue the war against the Lannisters, Tyrion arrives in King’s Landing to counsel Joffrey and temper the young king’s excesses.  On the island of Dragonstone, Stannis Baratheon plots an invasion to claim his late brother’s throne, allying himself with the fiery Melisandre, a strange priestess of a stranger god.  Across the sea, Daenerys, her three young dragons and khalasar trek through the Red Waste in search of allies, or water.  In the North, Bran presides over a threadbare Winterfell, while beyond the Wall, Jon Snow and the Night’s Watch must shelter with a devious wildling.
