There are now only two episodes of Game of Thrones left, and while the series finale is sure to be eventful in its own right, we're probably going to witness most of the fire and blood in this Sunday's penultimate installment.

HBO has released 9 promo images from the still untitled episode, and they give us a glimpse of the calm before the storm as Daenerys, Jon, Tyrion, Cersei and the rest of our main players contemplate "The Last War" to come.

Check out the pics below, and let us know how you think this ep will play out in the comments.

Dany

Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) and Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) prepare for one last showdown.


Daenerys was prepared to give Cersei a chance to surrender, but that all went out the window along with Missandei's head in the closing moments of last week's episode.

The Dragon Queen still seems conflicted about what comes next, but we reckon King's Landing - and most of its denizens - are toast.

The Golden Company



They may be short a few elephants, but Cersei still has some formidable backup in the form of Harry Strickland and his Golden Company mercenaries.

We've been led to believe that both armies are now pretty much evenly matched. Dany does have Drogon, but those anti-dragon scorpions are sure to keep him at bay - unless...

Euron


Euron and his fleet were responsible for taking out Rhaegal in the last episode, and the phychotic Greyjoy is bound to be confident that he can bring Drogon down the same way.

However, a shot from the promo of Euron looking surprised as something emerges from the clouds has led to speculation that Dany's last dragon may have been fitted with some armor to deflect those lethal scorpion bolts.

Cersei



The odds may have stacked against Cersei Lannister when the season began, but the vindictive ruler must now believe she can emerge victorious.

Remember, Cersei always has something up her sleeve, so expect a few surprises this Sunday.

Grey Worm



Poor Grey Worm survived The Battle of Winterfell only to witness the love of his life decapitated at the gates of King's Landing a few days later.

Revenge will be on the Unsullied Captain's mind, but will he back his Queen's plan to incinerate the city?

Tyrion



Tyrion still believes in Dany and may well attempt to reason with her one last time, but did we see Varys sway him a little in "The Last of The Starks"?

If The Dragon Queen does destroy King's Landing, her Hand is sure to join Team Jon.

Varys



Varys meets Jon and his men on the shores of Dragonstone.

We know that The Spider now intends to declare for Jon Snow Aegon Targaryen, and is prepared to betray - or possibly even assassinate - Daenerys to see the former Bastard of Winterfell sit the Iron Throne.

The Edge of Battle



Davos, Jon and Tyrion survey the battlefield.

It'll be interesting to see how Jon reacts to Tyrion knowing his secret.

Aegon



Aegon Targaryen has some big decisions to make this Sunday.

We know he doesn't care about claiming the Iron Throne, but there's no way he'll sit by and allow Dany to burn the city to the ground. Will he declare himself the rightful King of Westeros in order to stop her?

this season feels force and a bit more for the fans ... but it can really turn around imo is a few power moves to end on a good note .


i think dany maybe the true villain by the end

@LordCipher - i love the show but i can see the glaring problems .... i think this is one of those shows that can salvage it with the last 2 eps but it has to be something reasonable and not look forced....the night king was such a huge ball drop IMO ... i'm fine with araya doing it but the lay out the ep should've been done so differently

@knocturnalzen10 - GoT seems to be the rare popular show that is forced to end asap.
I could have used one or two more seasons tbh.

@WakandanQueen - yes , it's very confusing on why it isn't 10 eps this season to flush everything out and give each character a proper send off whether they die or not ..... stuff just seems to be happening to just happen ...

@knocturnalzen10 - Last week's episode felt especially rushed and forced and unnatrual. Very convenient that they didn't use Brand's magic powers before visiting their enemies; you know, just to make sure they weren't ready to destroy their fleet and kill one of their dragons.

@WakandanQueen - bran's powers conveniently not being used anymore for an entire ep was hilarious .....

@knocturnalzen10 - We still don't know what the hell he was doing during the Battle of Winterfell other than spying on the Night King.

@LordCipher - I hope they don't forget about him entirely. But it won't shock me if it happens.

@LordCipher - I always liked her acting in the show tbh. She does improve with each season.

@LordCipher - This may just be the best season acting-wise. And we haven't even seen much of the acting goddess Headey yet.

People have been bitching about/loving this show for almost a decade now

...it's only fitting it should end the same way.

@Kman - you may be speaking of walking dead

Most people adored this show but the bitching began last season when they ran out of source material
