With just over two months to go before its latest season drops, "Game of Thrones" treated its fans to new glimpses of the inhabitants of Westeros (and beyond) in the first photos from the sixth season of the popular HBO fantasy drama series.

One of the 20 pictures released shows a blind Arya (Maisie Williams) begging in the streets of Braavos as part of her training to become a Faceless Man. Another photo shows that Sansa (Sophie Turner) and Theon (Alfie Allen) are still alive, having survived their jump from the walls of Winterfell in the season 5 finale. Samwell (John Bradley) and Gilly (Hannah Murray), meanwhile, are in the bowels of a ship that, as viewers of the show know, is bound for Oldtown.

One of the more surprising photos, however, is that of a standing Bran (Isaac Hempstead-Wright) and the Three-Eyed Raven (Max Von Sydow), in what may be one of Bran's visions. 

Fans also get to see Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie) looking noticeably clean and blood-free after having just (purportedly) killed Stannis Baratheon (Stephen Dillane). Daenerys (Emilia Clarke), who was last seen surrounded by a group of Dothraki, appears to have made it back to civilization, perhaps to face judgment for her dragon's actions in season 5. Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) and Varys (Conleth Hill) are seen standing together, as are the Bolton men, Roose (Michael McElhatton) and Ramsay (Iwan Rheon).

Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) is sailing home from Dorne with the corpse of his daughter Myrcella (Nell Tiger Free), who was poisoned by one of the Sand Snakes in the season 5 finale. In another photo, he and son-nephew King Tommen (Dean-Charles Chapman) mourn over Myrcella in King's Landing. Another photo shows Jaime comforting his sister Cersei (Lena Headey) after he arrives with her dead daughter.

In King's Landing, the High Sparrow (Jonathan Pryce) looks to be deep in thought and Septa Unella (Hannah Waddingham) pays Queen Margaery (Natalie Dormer) a visit. And in Castle Black up north, Davos (Liam Cunningham) looks down from one of the towers and Melisandre (Carice van Houten) sits astride a horse.

The sixth season of "Game of Thrones" premieres on April 24 on HBO.
