I'm going with either Ironborn, northern or wildling. Yeah I think so too. Hopefully by September we hearing some casting news. I don't expect any huge major roles since things are winding down towards the end game, but who knows.

I don't expect any huge major roles since things are winding down towards the end game, but who knows. I agree. I think this will be a fairly quiet thread unless it involves returning flashback actors. Other than Maesters and flashbacks, we've got out endgame cast. If we get lucky, we might get Howland Reed. Young Howland Reed could be re-cast if he appears. I doubt if they needed young Ned, Arthur Dayne and Gerold Hightower, that they would be re-cast. The same applies with Aisling Franciosi.

We finally have casting news. General, in the age range 40 – 55. He’s a senior military officer, and they’re looking for a white actor who uses the British RP accent. The actor is needed for the week of September 6th.
Priest, in his 60’s. He’s a venerable priest with moral authority and gravitas. The show is seeking a white actor, using an RP accent, with characterful face for this part. He’s scheduled to shoot one week, from September 22nd.
Warrior, in the 35 – 45 age range. The character is a tough-looking bruiser with the attack skills of a pit bull, and the actor needs to be great at fighting. He has a “considerable” amount of dialogue as well. It’s described as an “excellent part for a top-end actor.” Helpful clues in the description? We know it’s not a Dothraki character as the actor for the role is required to be white, and they’re asking for a neutral and non-posh English accent. This role is currently scheduled to shoot across October.
Gate Guard, in his 20’s. The character is described as a “Confident, characterful, straight-talking Northern lad with a great face to play across a very excellent series of scenes.” They’re looking someone with wit, timing, and charisma. He’s currently scheduled to film between mid-October and mid-November.
City Guard, in his 30’s. The show is casting for a city guard who intercepts a suspicious-looking person on his nightly patrol. They require an RP accent for this one. He’s set to shoot for a week in mid-October.
Merchant, in his 40’s. The merchant appears at an inn during a busy evening. They’re seeking a character actor, for a non-combatant role. His appearance is more open, including ethnicity/race. That suggests a character appearing somewhere in Essos- or a place we’ve never been before, since Daenerys is now on the move. This part is scheduled to shoot the first week of November.
Lovely Lady. Ah yes, what would Game of Thrones be without its courtesans and nudity. The show is casting for an attractive young courtesan who is sure of her own mind. It’s described as a “good speaking part” and casting notes that full nudity is required for the role. Similar to the merchant, the lovely lady’s physical appearance is open, indicating this role is for somewhere on Essos, or at a new location. She’s scheduled to shoot for one week in early October.
Young Lord in his late 20’s. He’s a tall, handsome young lord, and the show is looking for a white actor who uses the RP accent. He’s scheduled to shoot in the week commencing September 20th.
Lieutenant, in his 20’s. The character is described as an athletic, physically fit, and disciplined warrior. Appearance-wise, they’re looking for someone not white, with Middle Eastern descent mentioned. This bears the hallmarks of a Dothraki character description. He’s set to shoot several days across three weeks, between mid-September and mid-November. watchersonthewall.com/variety-new-roles-cast-game-of-thrones-season-7/#more-71967

I see they're still using the word "characterful" in casting breakdowns.

I wouldn't be surprised if "Young Lord" was Rhaegar and the Priest shooting in the same week is whoever marries him and Lyanna. "Lord" might sound too lowly to be a prince but then last year Aerys's casting just said, "Aristocratic man".
Also I think it's as likely that the "Lieutenant" casting call is for a Dornishman as it is a Dothraki.

Finally something! Azor H. Ahai, it's been what now, two months with zero news? Still, I have no idea who these characters may be.

So I think he's from south of the Neck, just with lowlier origins than most knights. Not that that helps narrow his identity down too much, of course. I guess it's too late for a Kettleblack.

I said in the long list of questions mandzipop posted I didn't think we'd get a Rhaegar flashback but this "Handsome Young Lord" description specifically with the "RP accent" means it's someone more elegant than Northerners and definitely not an Essos type character. The age is right as well. Unless they intend to bring in a young Lord from some house we never expected (Vale Lords/Harry the Heir?) I can't think of many characters at this late in the story that would fit the role described.

It would fit for a few brief flashbacks. But then, any guesses here are pretty big stabs in the dark. These casting calls are as vague as it gets.

That one stood out to me too. Is it Rhaegar? The only other person I can think of is Harry the Heir, but they've chopped that story.
