Šibenik, Croatia, is one of the new cities added to the impressively long list of Game of Thrones locations this year, and crews have arrived in town to prepare for filming.
According to Sibenik.in and several new photos (posted below), sets are under construction at the Fortress of St. John, readying the area for shooting September 15th through the 21st. The site reports that a dress rehearsal will take place in Šibenik on September 8th.
O’ come all ye faithful, and welcome to your favorite Game of Thrones theme park, WatchersontheWall.com: The unofficial home of the unprofessional.
As we continue to settle into the new homestead and get our alumni pics hung on the wall, a man was reminded about just how many characters have been ousted on the show and the unbelievable amount of attrition (and subsequent changes) that we the viewer have been forced to endure.
Here is a list of five that came to mind and wish we could have seen a little more of (even if they were bastards, or womanizing pricks, or both). And worry not… my list will not be filled with the common names so many have chosen in the past.
And even if it did, it is known that you can’t have a reputable website without some kind of list hidden somewhere. It’s an internet regulation for crying out loud. So here is our first one (that I know of). Enjoy. And feel free to add your own in the comments. There are plenty to choose from…
We’ve covered the Funniest Quote category for the Watchers on the Wall Awards, and now it’s time to narrow down the category of Best All-Around Quote of Game of Thrones season 4. We have a huge variety of nominees for you, courtesy of WotW reader submissions, with funny quotes, epic speeches, and witty soundbites from your favorite characters.
As with the other categories, we’re asking that you choose FIVE candidates for Best Quote in this preliminary round. You can choose fewer than five, if you want to, but no more.
Update: Goran Leš of the Skyscraper City Forum traveled to the set of pillars near Duilovo in Split today, and although he didn’t make it in time to spot any cast or crew, his pictures reveal one very important feature that we haven’t seen before: a set of tall painted doors, one black, and one white.
This makes the new pictures of Maisie Williams and the Braavosi captain spotted on set yesterday (seen below) even more interesting.
Spoilers and more pics after the jump!

Game of Thrones now has another accolade to add to its collection. The show has officially been entered into the Guinness World Records 2015 book as the most pirated TV program.
Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes once said that “[piracy] leads to more paying subs… Game of Thrones is the most pirated show in the world. That’s better than an Emmy.” Since we’re celebrating the piracy of Thrones, we have some recent statistics that are relevant.
The following numbers are truly staggering, giving a clearer numerical insight into the legions of fans the show has built over the years. All statistics in this post are taken from Tru Optik.

Kristian Nairn is currently touring his “Rave of Thrones” DJ set. While in Australia yesterday, he spoke to Monique Schafter of ABC, and disclosed some new information about season 5.
Monique Schafter: Fans around the world are hungry for the next series of Game of Thrones, but they’ll have to be patient.
Kristian Nairn: We’re not actually in Season Five, by the way. We have a season off. We have a year’s hiatus.
Monique Schafter: Really?
Kristian Nairn: Solely because, I imagine, our storyline is up to the end of the books. … So I get a year off now to do Rave of Thrones and gallivant all over the world.
