Some devastating news comes from the sets of Game of Thrones in Northern Ireland where the final season of the show is being shot. 

If you do not want any spoilers about the upcoming season, please walk away now.

The production crew of Game of Thrones took months to build the massive set of Winterfell before the shooting began.

A few images taken by fans surfaced showing the night shoot in full swing. According to Watchers of the Wall, the set was preparing for some kind of siege at Winterfell. 

The fansite said that the extras looked like they belonged to the human army than being White Walkers. 

This means that it is possible that at some point Cersei Lannister will attack Winterfell. 

Now we can formulate theory whether that attack is on Jon Snow and his men or it is an attack after the Night King has taken over the North of Westeros.

But a more recent video taken by fans show that the entire set of Winterfell up in flames. The fansite also said that the major battle sequence before it all went kaput included around 400-500 extras on the set. This tally takes the intensity of the scene close to what we saw in Battle of Bastards.

This makes sure that Winterfell will eventually fall and the battle for the Iron Throne will move to the South. 

Now there are three possibilities here. The all-engulfing fire could be the wrath of the Mad Queen that rules the King's Landing now. Another Wildfire incident. Or if the showrunners decide to turn the flames blue in post-production VFX/CGI sessions, then it could be the work of Viserion -- the dragon that serves the Knight King now. Or it is possible that Daenerys' two remaining dragons went batcrap crazy.

We still have to wait until 2019 to see if all these theories pan out.
