A big moment that fans are anticipating in season 7 is Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) possibly forming new alliances in her quest to conquer the Iron Throne. Meanwhile, an overdue Stark reunion appears to be on the horizon.

Previously in "Game of Thrones," Daenerys and her loyal advisers – such as Missandei (Nathalie Emmanuel) and Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) – will be heading to Westeros. The Mother of Dragons is now one step closer to claiming the Iron Throne.

According to Watchers on the Wall, production of "Game of Thrones" will be settling in the Italica, which will serve as the Dragonpit in season 7. Based on the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series, the Dragonpit is described as a huge structure where the Targaryens held their dragons for generations, and is located near King's Landing.

Watchers on the Wall also reports that Daenerys was seen meeting with Davos Seaworth (Liam Cunningham) and Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie). Because of this scene, it is anticipated that Daenerys will gain new allies in Sir Davos and Lady Brienne.

Because Sir Davos has sworn to serve Jon Snow (Kit Harrington), and Brienne of Tarth has sworn to serve the Starks, it is anticipated that Daenerys will be soon forming alliances with the Starks in "Game of Thrones" season 7.

Speaking of the Starks, one of the anticipated big events in season 7 is the reunion of the remaining Stark house members.

Several behind-the-scenes photos of Arya (Maisie Williams) and Bran (Isaac Hempstead Wright) together on set sparked speculations that the two will finally cross paths in "Game of Thrones" season 7.

Since season 6, Arya has left Braavos and has begun her quest in avenging the deaths of her family, starting with House Frey who killed her mother Catelyn Stark (Michelle Fairley) and Robb Stark (Richard Madden). The outfit that Arya was wearing on set was similar to what Bran had worn back home, which could be an indication that Arya has finally returned home to Winterfell.

"Game of Thrones" season 7 is expected to premiere in September 2017.
