Even with 'The Walking Dead's Sunday return, likely any genre fan places 'Game of Thrones' season 3 at the top of their list for 2013's anticipated returns. And while HBO has served up some incredible photos from the coming season that feature new and old characters alike (Bran's getting big!), we've been without many major details. Sure, we could read George R.R. Martin's books, but why do that when we have fresh 'Game of Thrones' spoilers from the season 3 premiere inside!

Start strapping on your armor, you're going to need it when 'Game of Thrones' returns for its highly-anticipated third season on Sunday, March 31. And while anyone can pick up a copy of 'A Storm of Swords' for a rough outline of the season 3 events to come, HBO has released the first official episode description of the March 31 premiere, which as of yet hasn't received an official title.

See for yourself:

--Episode #21: Jon is brought before Mance Rayder, the King Beyond the Wall, while the Night’s Watch survivors retreat south. In King’s Landing, Tyrion asks for his reward, Littlefinger offers Sansa a way out, and Cersei hosts a dinner for the royal family. Arya runs into the Brotherhood Without Banners. Dany sails into Slaver's Bay. (Written by David Benioff & D.B. Weiss; directed by Daniel Minahan)

Just about everyone who caught season 2 finale "Valar Morghulis" could have told us that Jon Snow would meet up with Mance Rayder (Ciaran Hinds) and that the Night's Watch would have cause to retreat, but we're interested to meet some of Arya's newest friends, and Cersei's royal family as well. Not to mention our main man Tyrion!
