With the newly released Game of Thrones Season 5 cast list, you can be sure that the murder rate in Westeros isn't going to be decreasing anytime soon -- not that anyone expected that.
HBO announced the new cast members at Comic-Con in San Diego on Friday afternoon, revealing a strong fifth season focus on the Martell family, a group of fearsome warriors from Dorne (all related to the recently departed Red Viper).
While the show hasn't focused much on the Martell family yet, they're a pivotal and intimidating force in George R.R. Martin's novels. Equally exciting is the casting of the High Sparrow, a religious figure within Westeros with legions of loyal followers, who is sure to cause some trouble in King's Landing.
Take a look at the full new cast list and the role they will play in Season 5.
