In 1996 George RR Martin published A Game of Thrones, a fantasy fan-favorite and first in a series he called A Song of Ice and Fire. He's published 4 more books since then, and we're looking forward to those last two. (How will it end?!)

In 2010 HBO began production on a TV series based on Martin's books. They have a good team and we wish them all the best in their efforts-- they seem to have done all right so far.
We have a comparatively modest task ahead of us: to bring one SCENE from the first Game of Thrones book to life on-screen. It's the scene from Ned Stark's dream, where he and six friends square off against three Knights at the foot of the Tower where Ned's sister is being held,
presumably against her will.

This scene hasn't appeared in the TV show, and the full SIGNIFICANCE of it hasn't even been revealed in the books, at least not in the way we interpret it.
We're turning a hazy mysterious memory-dream into a vivid mountaintop showdown, complete with a
10-man sword fight and (more importantly) an answer to the most burning question in the minds of so many GoT fans:
Who is Jon Snow's mother?
