It may still take a while before HBO releases the premiere episode of "Game of Thrones" season 7, but new location news seems to drop hints about the plot of the upcoming season.
A fan reportedly sent a photo of a rumored "Game of Thrones" set taken in the town called Stangarvegur in Iceland's Gjáin valley to Watchers on the Wall.

But the fan noticed that only a small part of the dam is currently being constructed. The fan also mentioned that he got the idea that the set is for "Game of Thrones" based on a local shopkeeper staying near the rumored site.
The epic series based on George R.R. Martin's hit book saga "A Song of Ice and Fire" also spent time in Iceland to shoot several important scenes. It took advantage of the area's snow-capped landscapes to film the scenes happening around the vicinity of the Wall.
While the images could not provide any specific details about the possible plot of "Game of Thrones" season 7, it can be speculated that there could be an epic battle waiting to happen outside the Wall.
Other reports also claimed that Samwell Tarly's father Randyll will return in "Game of Thrones" season 7 after actor James Faulkner was spotted near the show's filming locations in Spain. This could mean that Sam (John Bradly-West) could have another face-off with his father, especially since he stole the family sword heirloom called the Heartsbane.
Cinema Blend also noted that filming for the seventh season of "Game of Thrones" had to be put on hold in order to wait for the colder season because winter officially came for Westeros, meaning the environment for the upcoming season should be covered in snow. This explains why HBO had to delay the release of "Game of Thrones" season 7 later than its usual spring debut in 2017.
More spoilers about "Game of Thrones" season 7 are expected to be released in the coming days.
