Briefly: Tonight on HBO, a new Game of Thrones promo entitled “Chaos” debuted.

In it, we get pretty badass close-ups of many of the lead characters.

Says the scary narrator, “Chaos isn’t a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Any who try to climb it fail. Never get to try again. Fall breaks them. Some are given the chance to climb, they cling to the realm. Or the gods. Or love. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.”

Game of Thrones season 3 premiers March 31, 2013. The synopsis for the first episode of the season is below:

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.

This synopsis reveals a few changes from the books, most notably that it is Littlefinger who offers Sansa a way out of King’s Landing. Do you think that this makes sense for the television series?

What do you think about this trailer? Still no new footage, but we think the character close-ups have a really epic feel to them.
