The Tarly house may be involved in the upcoming battles in "Game of Thrones" season 7. Meanwhile, a list of major plot details were released on the internet that may or may not be accurate.

Previously in "Game of Thrones," Sam's (John Bradley) father — Randyll Tarly (James Faulkner) — was introduced when Sam went back home in the hopes of keeping Gilly (Hannah Murray) safe there until he finishes his mission to become a Maester.

However, Randall was a hateful man who despised both Sam and Gilly, which left the two with no choice but to leave. Before departing, Sam stole his father's ancestral Valyrian sword, Heartsbane.

Watchers on the Wall confirms that Faulkner was seen nearby the set of "Game of Thrones" season 7 in Cáceres, where the locations are used for King's Landing.

It seems that Randyll may be travelling south because of a summons by one of the big players who were reported to be gathering there, such as the Lannisters. It is also possible that Randyll will be investigating what had happened to the house that he is sworn to – House Tyrell – since the explosion at the Sept of Baelor, Cinema Blend reports.

Meanwhile, a Reddit user posted major plot leaks for "Game of Thrones" season 7, and one of them was confirmed by the fan site Watchers on the Wall.

Reddit user awayforthelads posted a list of events involving many characters, if not all, and specific episodes that are speculated to happen in "Game of Thrones" season 7. The plot leaks have been posted before the airing of the series and they have been proven to not always be accurate.

But one of the plot details posted was confirmed by Watchers on the Wall, which is Jon (Kit Harington) bringing proof to the Dragonpit that the White Walkers exist. If the rest of the plot details leaked are true, then viewers can look forward to Jon and Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) having sex and Arya (Maisie Williams) killing Little Finger (Aidan Gillen) in season 7.

"Game of Thrones" is expected to premiere in 2017.
