There are few places in HBO's Game of Thrones that hold as much significance as Winterfell, the ancestral home of House Stark and the seat of the ruler of the North.

According to Northern legend, Winterfell was built by Bran the Builder more than 8,000 years ago, just as the Wall was, and considering Bran's relationship with the Giants and Children of the Forest, it's safe to say that there's more than meets the eye regarding the "capital" of the North. While the walls of the castle have certainly seen a lot go down over the years, the latest teaser for the series's upcoming final season has folks wondering about the secrets housed in the crypt below.

Here's what you need to know about House Stark's mysterious underground labyrinth before the series returns on April 14.
