We know the rules by now: You win or you die. That’s made clear in the new Game of Thrones Season 6 teasers, which feature the torn flags of house sigils waving hopelessly in the wind.
The three new teasers feature the flag of each house — Stark, Lannister and Targaryen — in serious contention for the Iron Throne (sorry, Tyrells). Winterfell has been burned and abandoned, while most of the Starks are either dead or presumed so — but that doesn’t mean the North isn’t ripe for the taking…

Seasons 4 and 5 saw the first real shakeups in the Lannisters’ unrelenting quest for power, but they still have clout in King’s Landing and a thirst for vengeance against the Sparrows.

Finally, the house of fire and blood faces a burning flag as Danaerys found herself surrounded by furious Dothraki in the Season 5 finale. To them, she is nobody, “queen of nothing” — and the throne she once seemed so close to may be impossible to reach.
