タイトル of Season 6, Episode 4 leaked? 

episodes page for HBOAsia‘s website, the title of episode four this season is “Book of the Stranger.” Though the title is unconfirmed by HBO USA at this time, it’s unlikely that HBOAsia would have added the title to their system without it being provided to them, and we’ve seen this title nowhere else.

novels. The Stranger is one facet of the Seven, the new gods of Westeros, but the Stranger is the least popular one as he represents death.

It’s possible the title is literal and simply referring to something religious, since the Faith of the Seven storyline is still in play this season, with Margaery and Loras’ current imprisonment and Cersei’s trial on the horizon. References to the Stranger of the Seven crop up throughout Westeros and beyond. The word ‘stranger’ without religious connotations is also common enough that the title could have double meanings, and refer to other people.

Thanks to WotW reader TheMannis for letting us know about the title!

Book of the Stranger … if confirmed, aside from a physical object, it could also just relate to people either being added to a list of the dead OR people being removed from it (e.g. resurrected/found alive)

Euron and maybe the Quiet Isle… and a certain gravedigger?

I like it, but it is very rare that I complain about a title anyway; it is the quality of the episode that matters. Having said that, this is certainly the most intriguing title of Season 6 so far (if true).

“The Stranger represents death and the unknown, and leads the dead to the other world”…also their returning?

People still think Jon is going to be resurrected… poor things.

Should we call it as a leak since it is posted by official HBO Asia

I’m thinking of a certain horse belonging to a certain someone.

Isn’t this supposed to be Dany’s big set piece episode?

I wonder if this could be a book at the Citadel, one that wasn’t named but referred to in ADWD. If it is that would be awesome. But it could also be something ‘invented’ for the show as well.

Clear reference to the Billy Joel album, will involve show’s first visit to Asshai, which of course the denizens will refer to as “ASS-HIGH,” and they’ll be like, “OMG, are you FUCKING SERIOUS with that dress? It’s not even leath-A!”

what if jon, the hound and lsh all come back this ep?

You are putting a space between your last slash and the word spoiler. No spaces and it will work for you. Also you need to add the spoiler tag in brackets at the beginning of your spoiler with no spaces

We are all Unsullied now…and I kind of like it. Gives us a sense of mystery to deal with.

Interesting title. I think it was to be expected that there’d be a Faith of Seven related title this season. Obviously this could refer to more than just the Faith storyline.

Hmmm I guess it would be something related to Sam’s track. May be he finds something in Citadel related to white walkers or magic in general.

The holy text of the Faith of the Seven has been referred to as

The Seven-Pointed Star. Perhaps, akin to the Bible, it has a “Book of…” for each of the seven gods.

Probably references quite a few things. Dany surviving a big set piece, Jon’s resurrection, and perhaps someone – no idea who – bites it

Septon Meribald mentioned “The Maiden’s Book” in AFFC, so that seems to be the case.

Technically it’s a leak, because I’m sure HBO US would rather it not have gotten out before they deigned it public knowledge. Dunno why they can’t just have an on/off switch for things like this but I know nothing about airing television shows internationally or otherwise. Probably tech related.

Just a thought – Could Book of the Stranger have any connection to the Egyptian Book of The Dead? I think the book is about funerals and resurrection isn’t it?

That was my first thought too. In one of the trailers or promos the High Sparrow is talking to Tommen about how everyone deserves death. Maybe something to do with that? 😉

The eyeballs will collectively melt out of the fandom, leaving HBO with no more viewers and effectively ending the series. /kidding

Many good suggestions here. Also, isn’t the Stranger one of the faces of the Many-faces God? Arya could also be involved.

In the Histories and Lore for Season Five, I think there is one called “The Seven Pointed Star” IIRC. In it Jonathan Pryce says there are 7 books in there, each relating to an aspect of the 7.

Clearly this is a reference to the Necronomicon, and this is the episode where Ash first appears.

A certain lady who features in the very same screen shot?

Since each of the gods represents a certain aspect of life, I imagine the Book of the Stranger would be funerary rites, the nature of the afterlife, etc.

Unless we’re just going to see the Quiet Isle independent of any other POV, it’s too early for the gravedigger. None of the main characters are going to be in that area at that stage of things.

Heck, it might be the most intriguing title of the whole series thus far! Color me intrigued if this title is accurate…

“Bran trains under the guidance of the Three-Eyed Raven, Tommen gets advice from Jaime, Tyrion must get creative to find good news, Thorne has the support of the Night’s Watch, Balon Greyjoy hears several proposals, Ramsay comes up with a new plan.”

– Jonny boy coming back from the dead (if it’s in episode 3, we will see the aftermath here…how he has changed)

-more people getting killed, especially in KL and maybe even the North (hi Roose!)

– Faceless Men related things, gods, death

– something with Bran….maybe visions of the future or discussions about death

Perhaps we’ll learn more about the faceless men and the temple of black and white? Perhaps the book refers to prophesies of death and it’s over coming. Perhaps the gift of death needs to be given to this who have not passed when the stranger called?

“Bran trains under the guidance of the Three-Eyed Raven, Tommen gets advice from Jaime, Tyrion must get creative to find good news, Thorne has the support of the Night’s Watch, Balon Greyjoy hears several proposals, Ramsay comes up with a new plan.”

Didn’t Jonathan Pryce say in an interview that we will learn lots of things about the High Sparrow in this season – where he came from, what made him think as he does, and so on?

No other character will be anywhere near the Riverlands at that point.
