HBO finally dropped the Game of Thrones Season 7 trailer Wednesday afternoon, and now it's time to obsess over every frame.

Case in point, let's talk about that creepy, zombie-esque hand reaching out from what appears to be a cell.

Looking closely, the wrist appears almost burnt, scabbed over and crusted with grey. Exactly like you'd imagine an advanced case of the feared flesh-eating disease greyscale to look like.

Who do we know might be dealing with that malady? None other than Sir Jorah Mormont, who we last saw taking a fond farewell from Khaleesi, with greyscale advancing up his arm. The left arm, as a matter of fact. Check out how it looked back in Season 6.

And while Mormont pledged to "end things" before he lost his mind in the end stages of the disease, he was also commanded by Danerys to find a cure for it. Which may or may not exist.

Either way, if that is Mormont, it doesn't look like things are turning out so well at the moment.
