'''Lyanna Stark''' was the younger sister of Lord [[Eddard Stark]] and was betrothed to Ned's childhood friend, [[Robert Baratheon]]. Her abduction by [[Rhaegar Targaryen]] was the event that ultimately triggered [[Robert's Rebellion]] and led to the downfall of [[House Targaryen|the Targaryen dynasty]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance and Character==<br />
:''See also: [[:Category:Images of Lyanna Stark|Images of Lyanna Stark]]''<br />
<br />
Lyanna is described by all who knew her as beautiful, with the dark hair, grey eyes and long face that characterize [[House Stark|the Starks]].{{Ref|aGoT|12}} Ned refers to her, like their brother [[Brandon Stark|Brandon]], as "wolf-blooded" - headstrong, willful, courageous and hot-tempered. He goes on to compare her to his tomboyish daughter [[Arya Stark|Arya]] in both appearance and personality, adding that Lyanna probably would have carried a sword if [[Rickard Stark|their father]] had allowed it. She is noted to have been an extremely skilled rider.{{Ref|aGoT|22}} Lyanna was very fond of the [[blue winter rose]]s that grew at [[Winterfell]].{{Ref|aGoT|58}}<br />
<br />
Lyanna rode horses like a northman. [[Harwin]] compares her riding skills to those of Arya Stark.{{Ref|aSoS|17}} [[Barbrey Dustin]] reports that both Brandon and Lyanna loved to ride. She compares them to a "pair of centaurs".{{Ref|aDwD|41}} [[Roose Bolton]] claims that Lyanna was "half a horse herself", probably meaning a centaur, however, he also claims that his son, [[Domeric Bolton]], could out-race her.{{Ref|aDwD|32}}<br />
<br />
Robert was deeply infatuated with Lyanna and remains very much in love with her memory over a decade after her death, to the point of causing major strain in his marriage to [[Cersei Lannister]].{{Ref|aGoT|4}}{{Ref|aGoT|8}} Ned, however, points out that Robert never really knew Lyanna very well, and suggests that they might not have gotten along as well as Robert imagines; while Robert believes Lyanna would never have publicly opposed him the way Cersei does, Ned says that Robert saw only Lyanna's beauty, and never recognized her boldness and strength of will.{{Ref|aGoT|30}} Lyanna may have been considerably less enthusiastic about the marriage than Robert was, as she commented to Ned at that Robert's love for her would not prevent him from being unfaithful after their marriage.{{Ref|aGoT|35}}<br />
<br />
[[Arya Stark]] resembles Lyanna in appearance, according to Eddard Stark.{{Ref|aGoT|22}} [[Margaery Tyrell]] is also said to resemble Lyanna. While in [[King's Landing]], [[Renly Baratheon]] had Eddard examine a miniature portrait of Margaery, painted in the style of [[Myr]]. He wanted him to confirm the supposed resemblance, but Eddard failed to see a connection between the two women.{{Ref|aGoT|27}} [[Kevan Lannister]] recalls Lyanna having a "wild beauty" about her. But her looks paled in comparison to a young [[Cersei Lannister]]: "however bright a torch might burn it could never match the rising sun."{{Ref|aDwD|72}}<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
[[File:rhaeg_lyanna-winterfelll.jpg|350px|right|thumb|Lyanna, her brother, and [[Rhaegar]] by M.Luisa Giliberti ©]]<br />
[[File: Enife_Lyanna_Stark.png |Lyanna, wearing a crown of [[blue winter rose]]s – by Enife ©|thumb|300px|right]]<br />
===Early life===<br />
When [[Bran Stark]] has visions through the heart tree of Winterfell, a scene seems to involve a girl looking like Arya. Two children are seen duelling with broken branches, using them as swords. The girl is older and taller than the boy. She defeats the boy, slashing him across the thigh. The boy loses his balance and falls into the pool. He starts splashing and shouting. The girl warns him to be quiet, or [[Nan|Old Nan]] will hear him and notify their father. She then kneels and pulls her younger brother from the pool. The scene shifts to another vision before Bran has a chance to see more of the two children.{{Ref|aDwD|34}} It is implied that the girl is Lyanna and the boy is her younger brother, [[Benjen Stark]].<ref name="Beyond the Wall"/><br />
<br />
Lyanna was at Winterfell when her father promised her hand to Robert Baratheon. That same night she confided to Eddard concerning her opinion of Robert: that the man will never keep to one bed. She had heard that Robert had an illegitimate daughter in the [[Vale of Arryn]], apparently [[Mya Stone]]. Eddard attempted to persuade her that what Robert did before the betrothal was insignificant and that Robert would change. She was not convinced.{{Ref|aGoT|35}}<br />
<br />
===Harrenhal===<br />
Lyanna was present at the [[Tourney at Harrenhal]]. There she found [[Howland Reed]] being bullied by three young squires, none older than fifteen-years-old. She roared "That's my father's man you're kicking" and attacked them with a tourney sword. The bullies scattered and Lyanna "the she-wolf" took the injured man back to her "lair," probably a tent. She cleaned his wounds and bound them with linen. Then she introduced the guest to her brothers [[Brandon Stark]] ("the wild wolf"), [[Eddard Stark]] ("the quiet wolf"), and [[Benjen Stark]] ("the pup").<br />
<br />
That evening, Lyanna persuaded Reed to attend the feast marking the start of the tournament. She insisted that he was highborn and had as much right to attend as anyone. The "wolf maid" was not easy to refuse. Benjen found a suitable garb for Reed. Within [[Harrenhal]], Reed ate and drank with the Starks. During the feast [[Rhaegar Targaryen|Prince Rhaegar Targaryen]], a noted musician, performed a sad and beautiful song that made Lyanna weep; when Benjen teased her for crying, she poured wine over his head.{{Ref|aSoS|24}}<br />
<br />
During the feast, Lyanna recognized the three bullying squires. One serving a pitchfork knight ([[House Haigh]]), one serving a porcupine ([[House Blount]]), and the last boy serving a knight of two towers ([[House Frey]]). She pointed them out to her brothers. Benjen volunteered to find armor for Reed, in case the crannogman wished to challenge them. Reed slept in the tent of Eddard that night. During the first two days of the tournament, the porcupine knight, pitchfork knight, and the knight of the two towers each won a place among the champions. But then the [[Knight of the Laughing Tree]] challenged and defeated all three of them, winning custody over their horses and armor. When the defeated trio sought to ransom back their former property, the Knight declared his terms: that they ought to teach their squires honor. The trio proceeded to chastise their squires sharply.{{Ref|aSoS|24}} It is uncertain whether Reed, Lyanna, or one of the other Starks hid behind the mask of the Knight.<ref name="Beyond the Wall"> [http://books.google.gr/books?id=tYUsrknjhbEC&pg=PT52&lpg=PT52&dq=Knight+of+the+laughing+tree+uncertain&source=bl&ots=3Oel8P1-Mf&sig=MaELA01H_FROetLJ7v4jNnc_tHk&hl=el&sa=X&ei=8WYJUOKpCOip4gSiv_XZCg&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=Knight%20of%20the%20laughing%20tree%20uncertain&f=false Beyond the Wall, Chapter: "History on a Personal Scale"] Commenting on the uncertainties of the text in the novels: "Even what appear to be straightforward elements of backstory turn out to be more complex, more shrouded in doubt, than they first appear. ... We have also seen through the heart tree that Lyanna Stark was a skilled swordswoman, capable of besting her younger brother - the future First Ranger of the Night's Watch and a very capable soldier - in mock combat. This fuels speculation that Lyanna was the mysterious Knight of the Laughing Tree ... and gives another reason for why she and Rhaegar may have met and developed a connection." </ref><br />
<br />
The Knight attracted unwanted attention. Robert Baratheon and [[Richard Lonmouth]] were determined to unmask him, while [[Aerys II Targaryen]] was certain that the man was his enemy. By the next morning, the Knight disappeared. An angry Aerys sent Rhaegar to search for the vanished Knight, but only the shield of the Knight could be found.{{Ref|aSoS|24}} Rhaegar went on to win the tournament and shocked all present by passing over [[Elia Martell|his wife]] to crown Lyanna, then already betrothed to Robert Baratheon, as [[queen of love and beauty]]. According to the recollections of Eddard Stark, that day Rhaegar managed to unseat [[Brandon Stark]], [[Yohn Royce]], [[Arthur Dayne]], and [[Barristan Selmy]]. Robert Baratheon was among the spectators, jesting with [[Jon Arryn]] and [[Eon Hunter]]. Then the victorious Rhaegar urged his horse past [[Elia Martell]], laying the [[blue winter rose]] laurel of the queen of beauty in Lyanna's lap. At that moment "all the smiles died".{{Ref|aGoT|58}} Selmy blames himself for failing to defeat Rhaegar that day, for then he would have had a chance to crown his own lady love: [[Ashara Dayne]].{{Ref|aDwD|67}}<br />
<br />
===Disappearance and consequences===<br />
At some time after the tournament, Lyanna was kidnapped by Rhaegar with the help of [[Arthur Dayne]] and [[Oswell Whent]].<ref name="aSoIaF App">"Rhaegar Targaryen" entry in ''[[A World of Ice and Fire]]''</ref> The story (as told by [[Robert Baratheon]]) goes that Rhaegar carried her off and raped her.{{Ref|aGoT|66}} Barristan Selmy is convinced that "Prince Rhaegar loved his Lady Lyanna," though that love sent thousands to their respective deaths.{{Ref|aDwD|67}} According to [[Viserys Targaryen]], Rhaegar was simply not happy with his marriage. If Rhaegar was happy with Elia, he would not have needed Lyanna. He once blamed their sister [[Daenerys Targaryen]] for being born too late to marry Rhaegar. A happily married Rhaegar would need neither Elia nor Lyanna. Daenerys, countered that, by the same logic, it was the fault of Viserys that he was not a girl. Because then he would be the sister destined for Rhaegar. Viserys beat her cruelly for her insolence.{{Ref|aSoS|42}} [[Cersei Lannister]], who was infatuated with Rhaegar, believes that the [[Targaryen madness|madness]] led King Aerys to deny [[Tywin|Lord Tywin]]'s proposal of marriage between her and the crown prince; Cersei thinks that if she herself had only married Rhaegar as [[faith of the Seven|the gods]] had intended, he would have been satisfied in his queen and never have looked twice at the "wolf girl".{{ref|affc|24}}<br />
[[File:Lyanna stark by riavel.jpg|250px|left|thumb|Lyanna Stark by riavel ©]]<br />
Her eldest brother [[Brandon Stark]] was on his way to [[Riverrun]] when the news of his sister's disappearance reached him, and instead he went straight to [[King's Landing]]. Entering the [[Red Keep]] with a few companions ([[Ethan Glover]], [[Jeffory Mallister]], [[Kyle Royce]], [[Elbert Arryn]]), he roared for Rhaegar "to come out and die." But Rhaegar wasn't there. [[Aerys II Targaryen|King Aerys]] had Brandon and his companions arrested, accusing them of plotting murder and charged them with treason. Aerys summoned their fathers to court, supposedly to answer the charge against their sons. When they presented themselves, Aerys decided to kill them all, fathers and sons together. Brandon and Lyanna's father, Lord [[Rickard Stark]], demanded a [[trial by combat]], and the king granted him the request. Lord Stark was allowed to armor himself for battle but was then suspended from the rafters over a blazing fire, Aerys choosing "fire" as his champion. He had Brandon watch as Rickard slowly roasted, the young son attached to a device which tightened a cord around his neck whenever he moved. Trying to reach for his longsword and rescue his father, Brandon strangled himself. They died with no real trial.This was a primary impetus for [[Robert's Rebellion]]. Aerys next demanded the heads of Robert and Eddard. They were both wards of Jon Arryn, the Lord of the Eyrie having pledged to protect them. Arryn responded to Aerys by raising his banners in revolt.{{Ref|aCoK|55}}{{Ref|aGoT|2}}<br />
<br />
During the war, Lyanna's fiancé Robert and brother Eddard were important leaders, together with [[Jon Arryn]], who had been their foster father. Rhaegar spent much of the war at the [[Tower of Joy]] with Lyanna. He left to join the war effort when Aerys sent [[Gerold Hightower]] to find him. Rhaegar left Gerold with Arthur and Oswell to guard Lyanna. The decisive battle of the war came at [[Battle of the Trident|the Trident]], where Robert slew Rhaegar in single combat and the rebels defeated the royal army.{{Ref|aGoT|4}} According to the stories of [[Viserys Targaryen]], Rhaegar had fought and died for "the woman he loved."{{Ref|aGoT|3}} [[Daenerys Targaryen]] believes in that version of the story.{{Ref|aGoT|64}} One of the visions Daenerys sees in the [[House of the Undying]], seems to depict the last moments of Rhaegar. Rubies are flying from his chest like drops of blood. Then his knees sink into the water. He whispers Lyanna's name with his last breath.{{Ref|aCoK|48}}<ref name="aSoIaF App"/><br />
<br />
Following the Battle of the Trident, the remnants of Rhaegar's army retreated toward [[King's Landing]]. Robert was wounded and unable to pursue them, but he entrusted Eddard with the pursuit. Eddard expected to find the city gates closed, with Aerys II and several thousand Targaryen loyalists leading the defense. He reached the city just after the [[Sack of King's Landing]] by the forces of [[House Lannister]]. For most of the rebellion, the Lannisters had remained neutral, ignoring calls to arms by both the rebels and the loyalists. Then [[Tywin Lannister]] and 12,000 of his soldiers reached the capital. Aerys opened the gates to them, mistaking them for allied reinforcements. Instead they were there to sack the city and join the rebels.[[Pycelle]] had managed to convince Aerys II to open the gates. The King did so, unaware that Pycelle himself was only loyal to Tywin. Aerys ignored the warnings of [[Varys]] to not trust Lord Tywin.{{Ref|aGoT|12}}{{Ref|aSoS|37}}<br />
<br />
Aerys II had one last plan: [[the Wildfire Plot]], a way to burn the capital, leaving for Robert only ashes, charred bones, and cooked meat. He commanded [[Rossart]], the [[Hand of the King]], to activate the plan, making certain to take the Lannister forces with him to his funeral pyre. Meanwhile, he gave [[Jaime Lannister]] orders to decapitate Tywin and bring the head to him. Jaime instead killed Rossart and then attacked Aerys himself, killing him. [[Elys Westerling]] and [[Roland Crakehall (Lord)|Roland Crakehall]] then entered the throne room, finding Jaime with the corpse. At about the same time, [[Gregor Clegane]] and Amory Lorch were scaling the walls of [[Red Keep|Maegor's Holdfast]] as Eddard Stark was leading his own forces through the city gates. When Eddard entered the throne room, he found Jaime seated on the [[Iron Throne]].{{Ref|aSoS|11}}{{Ref|aSoS|37}}<br />
<br />
===Death and burial===<br />
[[File: Asiulus_Promise_Me_Ned.png|Promise me [[Ned]] - by Asiulus ©|thumb|right|300px]]<br />
After these events, Ned rode south to the [[Stormlands]] to life the siege of [[Storm's End]]. The Lords [[Mace Tyrell|Tyrell]] and [[Paxter Redwyne|Redwyne]] bended the knee, and swore fealty to Robert. He then rode to [[Tower of Joy]] in the mountains of [[Dorne]] with six companions ([[Martyn Cassel]], [[Theo Wull]], [[Ethan Glover]], [[Mark Ryswell]], [[Howland Reed]], [[Willam Dustin]]), and found the three remaining loyalist members of the [[Kingsguard]] - Ser [[Arthur Dayne]], Ser [[Oswell Whent]], and Ser [[Gerold Hightower]] - guarding it. Only Ned and his bannerman [[Howland Reed]] survived the ensuing battle. Ned found Lyanna inside the tower in a "bed of blood", dying. When Eddard recalls the conflict in a dream, there is an additional detail. While the combatants clash, Lyanna screams. The dream then switches to a storm of blue rose petals, blowing across a blood-streaked sky. It is uncertain if these details are accurate memories.{{Ref|aGoT|39}}<br />
<br />
Lyanna died in a room that smelled of "blood and roses". A fever had taken her strength. Her voice had been faint as a whisper. There was fear in her eyes, while she called for "Ned" to promise her something. When her brother gave his word, the fear left her. She smiled, and her fingers clutched his own in a tight grip. They were still holding each other as she "gave up her hold on life". Rose petals slipped from her palm, dead and black. Later, [[Howland Reed]] found Eddard still holding the corpse. Howland managed to separate the hands of the living man and the dying girl, though Eddard had no recollection of what happened after Lyanna died.{{Ref|aGoT|4}} Shortly before her death, Lyanna extracted a promise from Ned.{{Ref|aGoT|35}} Neither the content of the promise nor the cause of her death are currently known. Her final words were a phrase that would haunt her brother for the rest of his life:<br />
<br />
{{Quote|Promise me, Ned.{{Ref|agot|4}}}}<br />
<br />
Lyanna was only "sixteen" years-old at the time of her death.{{Ref|aGoT|8}} Her tomb lies in the crypts of Winterfell, beside that of Rickard Stark. At the other side of Rickard's tomb stands the tomb of Brandon Stark. The three tombs stand together. A statue of Lyanna has been carved in the stone of her tomb, though Robert Baratheon claimed that the stonemason failed to capture her beauty.[[File:Ned_and_Robert_at_tomb.jpg|Ned and Robert visiting Lyanna’s tomb - by Pojypojy ©|thumb|300px|right]]Eddard claims that Lyanna herself asked him to return her to Winterfell. He reports bringing flowers to her tomb whenever he can, as his sister was fond of flowers.{{Ref|aGoT|4}} [[Bran Stark]] notes that only the kings and lords of Winterfell are supposed to have statues in their likeness, not their family members. But Eddard wished to honor his beloved siblings.{{Ref|aGoT|66}} Barbrey Ryswell informs Theon that the tomb is not a cenotaph (empty tomb). Eddard actually transported the bones of Lyanna all the way from [[Dorne]].{{Ref|aDwD|41}}<br />
<br />
===Named after Lyanna===<br />
The war galley [[Lady Lyanna]] has been named in honor of Lyanna Stark. King Robert named the galley in honor of the maid he had loved and lost. [[Davos Seaworth]] considers it a beautiful ship, likely its "beauty" inspiring the name.{{Ref|aCoK|41}}{{Ref|aCoK|58}}<br />
<br />
[[Lyanna Mormont]], youngest daughter of [[Maege Mormont]], is named after Lyanna Stark. [[Stannis Baratheon]] feels this was a transparent attempt to win the favor of Eddard Stark.{{Ref|aDwD|3}}<br />
<br />
===Appearance in nightmares===<br />
Eddard Stark has a nightmare involving Lyanna and her statue. In the dream, Eddard walks through the crypts of Winterfell. He can hear the statue of Lyanna whispering: "Promise me, Ned". He notices the statue wearing a garland of pale blue roses, while her eyes weep blood. Eddard immediately wakes with his heart racing.{{Ref|aGoT|47}}<br />
<br />
[[Theon Greyjoy]] has a nightmare involving a feast of the dead at Winterfell. Many of the dead men and women attending are people that Theon knew personally or were slain by his own hand and/or command. But he also notices faces that he had never known in life. Among them is Lyanna: a slim, sad girl wearing a crown of pale blue roses and a white gown splattered with blood. Brandon Stark stood beside her, their father Rickard just behind them. Theon wakes up screaming when [[Robb Stark]] and [[Grey Wind]], both bleeding, join the feast.{{Ref|aCoK|56}}<br />

'''Weasel''' is a girl who lived in the [[Riverlands]]. Her real name is unknown. She was found by [[Yoren]] on the march north from [[King's Landing]]. She was named "Weasel" by [[Lommy Greenhands|Lommy]] who claimed she looked like one.{{Ref|aCoK|19}}<br />
<br />
==Recent Events==<br />
===A Clash of Kings===<br />
[[Yoren]] leads a group of fresh recruits for the [[Night's Watch]] through the [[Riverlands]]. He decides to avoid the [[kingsroad]] and leads his group around the western shore of [[Gods Eye]]. At some point the group notices flames to the north of their current location. They wait hours for the flames to die out and head towards their former location. There, they discover a burned down village and surrounding fields. Yoren, [[Murch]], and [[Cutjack]] go searching inside the village, while the rest of their group waits outside. {{Ref|aCoK|9}} Yoren returns with a little girl in his arms. Murch and Cutjack transport a woman whose right arm has been severed at the elbow. [[Arya Stark]] estimates the unnamed girl to be about two years old. The girl constantly cries, whimpering as if something is caught in her throat. Arya estimates that the girl either can't talk yet, or she has forgotten how to do so.{{Ref|aCoK|9}}<br />
<br />
Arya rides ahead of the wagons, trying to avoid listening to the constant cries of the girl and to the unnamed woman whispering pleas for mercy. {{Ref|aCoK|9}} The "one-armed woman" dies by the evening of that day. She was never able to identify herself, nor whether she was related to the girl. {{Ref|aCoK|9}}<br />
<br />
Yoren leads his group towards a small town. Hoping to find boats and secure transportation to [[Harrentown]]. He plans to seek shelter for his group at [[Harrenhal]], claiming that [[Shella Whent]] has always been a friend of the Watch. Arya hopes that Lady Whent can help "the crying girl" (Weasel). {{Ref|aCoK|14}} The group finds the town to be deserted. The buildings and fields have not been burned but the local population seems to have fled. Arya finds the situation scary and reminiscent of the burnt holdfast where they had found "the crying girl". She figures that the people must have been terrified to leave their homes and properties behind. And wonders what scared them away. {{Ref|aCoK|14}}<br />
<br />
Yoren splits most of his group to search parties, trying to locate anyone left behind by the locals or anything of use to them. Ten of the recruits are left behind to guard their wagons and the unnamed little girl. {{Ref|aCoK|14}} The search parties find some food and tools, but no human life. Yoren decides to spend the night in a nearby stone holfdast, though Arya protests that they should follow the example of the locals and evacuate the area. Behind the stone walls, "the crying girl" continues to whimper and cry. Until [[Hot Pie]] offers her a portion of the [[w:Goose|goose]] which serves as their meal. The hungry girl quickly eats the offered meat and looks for more. {{Ref|aCoK|14}}<br />
<br />
Later, Arya tries to sleep, using a straw pallet as a makeshift bed. She is at some distance from "the crying girl", but she can still hears the girl crying. She is somewhat frustrated with the constant sound of the girl's voice. She wishes for "the crying girl" to be quiet and let her sleep. {{Ref|aCoK|14}} Arya suddenly wakes with the impression of hearing a wolf howling. Shortly after, [[Kurz]] blows his hunting horn. Alerting the recruits that horsemen approach their location. Arya and [[Gendry]] climb to a parapet and inspect the unit approaching them. "The crying girl" approaches Arya and clutches her leg. Arya glances down in alarm and discovers who is holding her. She wrenches her leg free of the clutching arms and then shoves the girl away. {{Ref|aCoK|14}} Arya calls the girl "stupid" for following them to the parapet. She then instructs the girl to run and hide. {{Ref|aCoK|14}}<br />
<br />
The cavalry unit serves under [[Amory Lorch]], whose herald suggests that Yoren and his group are working for [[Beric Dondarrion]]. The standard-bearer of Lorch insists that Yoren wears a black cloak, which to him resembles the black field in the sigil of [[House Dondarrion]]. Yoren insists that there is no lightning bolt anywhere on his cloak. Gendry realizes that Lorch and his men are merely seeking a pretext to attack. A skirmish between the two groups follows. {{Ref|aCoK|14}} Yoren soon realizes the battle is lost. He instructs Arya to herd whoever she can and try to escape though a tunnel underneath the barn. While performing her task, Arya notices "the crying girl". The unnamed toddler is seated on the ground, surrounded by smoke and slaughter. Arya grabs the girl by the hand and pulls her on her feet. The girl refuses to walk on her own, even when Arya slaps her to get her going. Arya resolves to drag along "the crying girl" with her right hand, while she holds [[Needle]] in her left hand. {{Ref|aCoK|14}}<br />
<br />
Hot Pie notices that dragging the girl slows down "Arry". He shouts for his friend to leave the girl behind if she continues to resist. The girl does resist but Arya stubbornly keeps dragging her. Hot Pie refuses to help them and runs to escape. Gendry returns from his own escape attempt to help them out. He hoists "the crying girl" over his shoulder and instructs Arya to run. When the three reach the tunnel, it turns out to be narrow. Gendry can not carry the girl through it. Arya suggests they pull and push the girl to safety. Gendry decides that Arya should go first, the girl second, and he himself third and last. Arya instead instructs him to save the girl. {{Ref|aCoK|14}} Arya delays her own escape to rescue [[Biter]], [[Jaqen H'ghar]], and [[Rorge]] flom the flames surrounding them. {{Ref|aCoK|14}}<br />
<br />
"The crying girl" is among the remnants of the recruits who survive the skirmish. Kurz suggests that they should keep heading north. The rest of survivors go along with his idea. They continue their trail along the western shore of Gods Eye. {{Ref|aCoK|19}} During this part of their trail, the unnamed girl finally stops crying. Making the term "the crying girl" inaccurate. The group had to decide on a name for their charge. [[Lommy Greenhands]] suggests the name "Weasel", claiming that the girl resembles this animal. Arya can not really see the resemblance, but still agrees to use the new name. {{Ref|aCoK|19}} Weasel has the bad habit of eating mud.{{Ref|aCoK|19}} She also takes to following Arya and Gendry around. {{Ref|aCoK|19}} <br />
<br />
Arya climbs a tree and observes a fishing village to the north of their current location. She climbs down to report her findings to Gendry. Weasel is attracted by the sound of her voice and creeps out from the bushes. Arya notices that the mouth of their charge is filthy. As Arya continues to talk, Weasel approaches her and clutches her arms around Arya's leg. Arya mentally notes that lately Weasel keeps repeating this move. {{Ref|aCoK|19}} Arya continues with her report. Meanwhile, she tugs at the hair of Weasel. Matted hair which she can not detangle. Arya wonders whether she should hack off Weasel's hair. {{Ref|aCoK|19}}<br />
<br />
Arya and Gendry volunteer for a scouting mission. Trying to determine who currently resides in the village, and whether they can seek refuge there. Gendry instructs Hot Pie to keep Weasel from following them. Hot Pie complains about this task. The last time he tried to prevent Weasel from following Arya and Gendry, the girl kicked him. Gendry threatens to personally kick Hot Pie, if he fails to keep Weasel in place. Then he leaves without waiting for an answer. {{Ref|aCoK|19}} At some distance from the rest of their group, Gendry expresses his frustration with them. He finds Lommy, Weasel, and Hot Pie to be useless. Slowing the more capable Gendry and Arya down. He is certain they are going to get them all killed. Arya asks Gendry to leave Weasel alone. She defends the girl, claiming that Weasel is simply scared and hungry. {{Ref|aCoK|19}} While talking, Arya glances behind to make sure that Weasel is not following them. She is relieved that Hot Pie managed to stop Weasel. {{Ref|aCoK|19}}<br />
<br />
Gendry is caught during their scouting mission. Arya returns alone. She steps out of the woods right behind Lommy and Hot Pie and spooks the two boys. Weasel comes running up, trying to approach Arya. Arya places an arm around Weasel. Arya wants to help Gendry escape and convinces Hot Pie to join her. Lommy, who can't walk on his own, is tasked with keeping Weasel from following them. Lommy grabs Weasel by the hand and pulls her close. {{Ref|aCoK|19}}<br />
<br />
Once in the village, Hot Pie gets startled by a crow and gives away their position. He surrenders to the nearest guard. Arya is captured by several approaching guards. They have just been caught by [[Gregor Clegane]] and [[the Mountain's men]]. Hot Pie leads their captors back to their camp. He mentions that there is a girl with them, Weasel. The guards, however, find Lommy alone. {{Ref|aCoK|19}} Lommy explains that the guards made a lot of noise during their approach. Weasel heard them and ran off into the woods. Arya hopes that Weasel will manage to run as far away as she can. That the girl will manage to run, to hide, and to never return. {{Ref|aCoK|19}}<br />
<br />
===A Feast for Crows===<br />
The big eyes and hollow face of the [[Waif]] remind Arya of the original Weasel. {{Ref|aFfC|22}}<br />
<br />
==Named after Weasel==<br />
Gregor and his men lead their surviving captives to Harrenhal. These captives are kept to serve [[Tywin Lannister]] and his forces. Arya is examined by [[Amabel]] and [[Harra]]. When Harra asks for the name of this girl, Arya has to think for an alias. She needs a feminine name and names the first girl she can think of: Weasel. She claims that Lommy called her Weasel. The old women take her word on the matter. {{Ref|aCoK|26}} Arya keeps this alias while serving [[House Lannister]]. {{Ref|aCoK|30}} {{Ref|aCoK|38}} {{Ref|aCoK|47}} When [[Roose Bolton]] takes over Harrenhal, he chooses "Weasel" as his personal cupbearer. Roose finds the name Weasel to be improper and asks for her birth name. Arya claims that her full name is [[Nymeria (disambiguation)|Nymeria]], and that her nickname is [[Nan]]. Roose takes her word on the subject and starts calling her Nan. Arya abandons her previous alias {{Ref|aCoK|47}}<br />
<br />
In the [[House of Black and White]], the [[Kindly Man]] asks for the name of Arya. She tries to re-use several of her old aliases: Salty, Squab, Nan, Weasel, and Arry. He dismisses them all as as lies. She eventually resolves to introduce herself as Arya of [[House Stark]]. This time, the Kindly Man accepts her answer. {{Ref|aFfC|6}}<br />
==Quotes==<br />
{{Quote|Run, Weasel, run as far as you can, run and hide and never come back.{{Ref|aCoK|19}}}} - [[Arya]], glad that Weasel escaped [[the Mountain's men|their captors]]<br />

<br />
:::::::That's fine. I was just going by Wikipedia guidelines. Carry on. [[User:Erick|Erick]] 15:03, 10 February 2013 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::::::It's not fine. Erick, you were right. We should be using Wikipedia's guidelines. And Dimadick, as for "Discussions often center on analyzing the scenes and there are often requests for descriptions and quotes.", well, we have the actual books for that. A character's page should describe who a character is and an overview of what a character has gone through in the books. Not every line said by, to, or about the character. The articles you're writing are more than excessive, and I don't see how you can't realize this. At the risk of sounding patronizing, your passion is appreciated, but it could be put to much better use. [[User:KamiShikkaku|KamiShikkaku]] 07:25, 13 February 2013 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::::::: And I continue to disagree. Are you actually aware of what are Wikipedia's guidelines on [[w:Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Writing about fiction|Writing about fiction]]? The articles should avoid focusing on information on the fiction itself and use "the real world as their primary frame of reference". That is why most Wikipedia articles on books, and films have small plot summaries (which certain editors continue to shorten or fully discard) and focus on information on the writer's intent, and reviews by professional critics. The guidelines specifically mention: "write from a real-world perspective". Do you care to change the articles to follow this guideline. <br />
<br />
Also the guidelines on notability require that only major characters with real-world impact qualify for articles. Secondary characters receive sections on a list of "characters by series", and minor characters are simply deleted. If we actually followed these guidelines we would have to merge or delete most of the already extant articles. <br />
<br />
"Who a character is" is already covered in the introduction of an article. Would you want to limit the articles to the introduction? I can't realize how the articles are excessive, because this is supposed to be a Wiki entirely focusing on a single set of works, and I don't see how my writing is off-topic. --[[User:Dimadick|Dimadick]] 09:47, 13 February 2013 (UTC)</div>

==Synopsis==<br />
[[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]] is waiting in [[Varys]]’s room when the eunuch walks in. The Spider reveals that [[Tywin Lannister]] means to restore [[Pycelle]] as [[Grand Maester]], since the archmaesters of the [[Citadel]] claim that “only the conclave can unmake a Grand Maester”. When the conclave meant to send Maester [[Gormon Tyrell|Gormon]], Lord Tywin acted at once, not wishing another [[House Tyrell|Tyrell]] on the [[Small Council]]. <br />
<br />
Tyrion is surprised to learn that Varys has whisperers even in the Citadel, where the conclave always met in secrecy. He finds out that [[Boros Blount]] has been restored to the [[Kingsguard]], and that [[Mandon Moore]] had been brought to [[King's Landing]] by [[Jon Arryn]]. Tyrion asks Varys to bring [[Shae]] to the eunuch’s chambers so that no one will notice their meeting. He realizes that he cannot trust Varys any further, but hopes to use him this one last time. When he meets Shae, he means to send her away to protect her from his father, but Tyrion once again cannot bear to part with her. He also knows he must deal with the singer [[Symon]] if he means to keep Shae in King’s Landing.<br />

==Synopsis==<br />
<br />
[[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]], [[Brienne of Tarth|Brienne]], and [[Cleos Frey|Cleos]] stop at the [[Inn of the Kneeling Man]] to eat. The innkeep mentions the [[Beric Dondarrion|Lightning Lord]], and we learn that Lord Beric and [[Thoros of Myr|Thoros]] are still together raiding in the [[Riverlands]]. The innkeep recommends they abandon their skiff and ride for [[King's Landing]]. Brienne buys the inn’s horses for three gold and their skiff, getting robbed blind according to Jaime. The [[husband]] of the innkeeper recommends they follow a specific path to avoid outlaws, and they ride off. Jaime is impressed that Brienne takes the opposite path, realizing they might have been set up. <br />
<br />
That night, Jaime reminisces of how he became a [[Kingsguard]]. [[Cersei Lannister|His sister]] was brought to court by [[Tywin Lannister|Tywin]], who was [[Hand of the King|Hand]] at the time. He hoped to wed her to prince [[Viserys Targaryen|Viserys]]. Jaime was squiring for [[Sumner Crakehall]], and was knighted by [[Arthur Dayne]] during the battle against the [[Kingswood Brotherhood]]. Cersei later told him that their father meant to wed him to [[Lysa Arryn]], and she told him that if he took the white cloak, they could be together in King’s Landing. They did it behind their father’s back, and Tywin could not object to King [[Aerys II Targaryen|Aerys]]’s wishes. Tywin then resigned as Hand and took Cersei back to [[Casterly Rock]], unknowingly ruining their plan, for Jaime was now stuck in King’s Landing as a sworn brother of the Kingsguard.<br />
<br />
Years later, when Aerys made the mistake of admitting Tywin’s army, the Mad King called for the former Hand’s head. Alone in the throne room, Aerys had one final plan, but Jaime arrived in his golden armor, the blood of Lord [[Rossart]] on his blade, and killed the King. Jaime had hoped to slip out unnoticed, but his father’s men entered the throne room, and they thought Jaime meant to give the throne to his father, but Jaime told them he didn’t care who was proclaimed king. He was waiting on the iron throne to see who would come to claim the kingdom, but it was [[Eddard Stark]] who found him there. Eddard said nothing but he saw the blood of the king Jaime had sworn to protect on Jaime's hands. If only his father’s men hadn’t found him standing over Aerys’ body…<br />

==Synopsis==<br />
[[Davos Seaworth|Davos]] learns that his son [[Devan Seaworth|Devan]] is alive, and that mainly only the [[House Florent|Florents]] remain to King [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]]. Many of his other bannermen who were captured during [[Battle of the Blackwater|the Battle]] bent the knee to King [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]]. He also learns that Lord [[Guncer Sunglass]] was sacrificed to the fire by [[Melisandre]] as an offering to [[R'hllor]]. [[Salladhor Saan|Salladhor]] tells Davos that Lord [[Alester Florent|Alester]] is now [[Hand of the King]], but Stannis remains in the [[Dragonstone#Stone Drum|Stone Drum]] and sees no one but [[Melisandre]]. <br />
<br />
Davos plans to kill Melisandre because he blames her for the defeat and the death of his sons. He reveals as much to Salladhor who tries to talk him out of it. When put ashore, he meets [[Shireen Baratheon|Shireen]] and [[Edric Storm]]. The boy greatly resembles Robert and [[Renly Baratheon|Renly]], and he reveres his father. Edric says that his uncle Stannis should never have chopped off Davos’s fingers, but the Onion Knight knows that Robert was a different man than Stannis. Before Edric can talk further, Ser [[Axell Florent]] arrives and takes Davos into custody for plotting to kill Melisandre.<br />

==Synopsis==<br />
While hiding in the [[Tumbledown Tower]], [[Bran Stark|Bran]] gains the ability to open his third eye at will, and become [[Summer (direwolf)|Summer]]. [[Jojen Reed|Jojen]] again warns him not to spend too much time as Summer, neglecting his body and forgetting what he should do when in contact with his direwolf. They have been traveling north; staying away from civilization for fear that Bran might be seen, especially by the [[ironmen]] or [[House Bolton|Bolton men]]. Jojen insists they make for the [[Wall]] so that Bran can find the [[three-eyed crow]], because Jojen can teach him no more.<br />

==Synopsis==<br />
<br />
[[Illyrio Mopatis|Illyrio]]’s three ships are sailing for [[Pentos]], and Daenerys is watching her dragons fly over the ocean. [[Barristan Selmy|Arstan]] tells her that [[Balerion]] was 200 years old when he died during the reign of King [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen|Jaehaerys the Conciliator]]. Arstan then speaks of [[Rhaegar Targaryen|Rhaegar]], how he had been bookish as a child, always reading. Then one day he had read something in a scroll that made him want to be a warrior, and he began training fiercely. Arstan admits Rhaegar was a great warrior, but he had won no battles. <br />
<br />
Later, [[Jorah Mormont|Jorah]] tells her that Arstan is more than he seems, and warns her not to trust him. The knight advises her to sail for [[Astapor]] and buy [[Unsullied]], the best trained fighting force in the world. He tells the tale of the [[Three Thousand of Qohor]], where a small army of Unsullied defeated a huge ''[[khalasar]]'' trying to pillage [[Qohor]]. The Unsullied are eunuch slaves trained to obey orders absolutely, and they feel no pain. Daenerys agrees that she will force Captain [[Groleo]] and Strong [[Belwas]] to change course. Ser Jorah then grabs her by the waist and kisses her. Dany tells him he should not have done so, but Jorah talks of her vision in the [[House of the Undying]], and how the dragon having three heads may mean that she should take two more husbands.<br />

==Synopsis== <br />
[[Jon Snow|Jon]] is brought before [[Mance Rayder]], since [[Rattleshirt]] doesn’t trust him. In the King’s tent, Jon mistakes [[Styr]] for Mance Rayder. But it is the gray-haired man playing the lute who is the [[King-Beyond-the-Wall]]. Rattleshirt reveals his misgivings about Jon to the king, but Mance wishes to speak with Jon alone. <br />
<br />
Mance indicates that he has seen Jon twice before, once when he was still a [[Night's Watch|black brother]] and Jon just a boy, and again during King [[Robert Baratheon|Robert]]’s visit to Winterfell. Mance had disguised himself as a singer in order to see King Robert and get the measure of [[Benjen Stark]], who was a bane to the wildlings. Testing Jon, he asks why he deserted the Night’s Watch, but Jon asks him to tell his story first. The king explains that he had been wounded in a hunt and treated by an old wildling woman. She mended his cloak with burgandy thread which was rare for wildlings to have and, hence very valuable to part with. When Mance returned to the Watch, they replace his cloak with a new black one emphasising the importance of the black uniform, not recognising the symbolism of her gift. Mance came to resent the restriction new black cloak of the Night’s Watch.<br />
<br />
Jon, knowing now that Mance was at [[Winterfell]], asks, "And did you see where I was seated Mance? Did you see where they put the bastard?" The king then accepts Jon as member of the free folk.<br />

==Synopsis==<br />
<br />
[[Sansa Stark|Sansa]] is invited to dinner by [[Margaery Tyrell|Margaery]] and her grandmother, the Lady [[Olenna Redwyne|Olenna]]. She is escorted to the party by [[Loras Tyrell|Loras]], and unknowingly upsets him by talking of [[Renly Baratheon|Renly]]’s death. The party is held in the [[Red Keep#Maidenvault|Maidenvault]], where King [[Baelor I Targaryen|Baelor the Blessed]] confined his sisters so they would not tempt him, as he had sworn a vow of celibacy. She is introduced to all of Margaery’s cousins and companions, but it is the Queen of Thorns who takes the most interest in Sansa. <br />
<br />
Lady Olenna reveals that the [[House Baratheon|Baratheons]] have [[House Targaryen|Targaryen]] blood, and that the [[House Tyrell|Tyrell]] claim to [[Highgarden]]n has always been shaky since several other houses in [[the Reach]] can claim descent from [[Garth Gardener (Greenhand)|Garth Greenhand]] as well. The old woman makes it known that [[Mace Tyrell|her son]] is an oaf for making this alliance with the [[House Lannister|Lannisters]], and she wishes to learn from Sansa the truth of what [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]] is. Sansa fears that [[Varys]] is listening, but Lady Olenna commands [[Butterbumps]] to sing at the top of his voice. Sansa reveals the truth about Joffrey to the Queen of Thorns and Margaery, telling them that the King is a monster and that she fears for Margaery. Lady Olenna assures Sansa that the wedding will still go on, as Mace is determined that his daughter wed the King. The Queen of Thorns offers Sansa a proposal to visit Highgarden after the wedding, and wishes Sansa to marry her grandson [[Willas Tyrell|Willas]].<br />

==Synopsis== <br />
[[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]], recovering from his wounds, learns from [[Bronn]] (who is now Ser Bronn of the Blackwater) that Ser [[Addam Marbrand]] was named Commander of the City Watch since Lord [[Jacelyn Bywater|Jacelyn]] was killed by his own men during the [[Battle of the Blackwater]]. He finds that much has changed in [[King's Landing]] under [[Tywin Lannister|his father]]’s rule. He also realizes that his father has seen to it that Tyrion received little of the credit for saving the city. He asks Bronn to learn more about Ser [[Mandon Moore]], trying to discover if his sister sent the [[Kingsguard]] to kill him. [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]] has returned [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen]] to the city, and the [[House Kettleblack|Kettleblacks]], now all knights, are no longer working for Tyrion. His cousin [[Tyrek Lannister|Tyrek]] still has not been found, and is feared dead. <br />
<br />
Tyrion forces himself to dress and visit his father, despite his near captivity in [[Red Keep#Maegor's Holdfast|Maegor's Holdfast]] by his sister. Lord Tywin reveals that some battles are won by quills and ravens, and is in the process of composing letters. The [[Hand of the King|Hand]] tells his son that Ser [[Helman Tallhart]] and [[Robett Glover]] are marching on [[Duskendale]], but he has sent Lord [[Randyll Tarly]] and Ser [[Gregor Clegane|Gregor]] to deal with them. Tyrion seeks a little gratitude from his father, but Lord Tywin tells him, "Mummers and monkeys require applause." Tyrion states that he wants [[Casterly Rock]], as he is heir by rights since [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]] is a sworn brother of the Kingsguard. Tywin will never let Tyrion have the [[House Lannister|Lannisters]]’s ancestral seat, however, and warns him that he will hang the next whore Tyrion takes to bed.<br />

[[Catelyn Tully|Catelyn]] has been confined to [[Hoster Tully|her father]]’s rooms by Ser [[Desmond Grell]] for releasing [[Jaime Lannister|the Kingslayer]] without the consent of [[Edmure Tully|Edmure]] or King [[Robb Stark|Robb]]. She is aware Ser [[Robin Ryger]] was sent to bring back Jaime, and hopes that he fails. Her father, near death, is mumbling in pain, "Tansy…forgive me…the blood…you’ll have others…sweet babes, and trueborn…" Catelyn deduces that her father had had aborted a child [[Lysa Arryn|Lysa]] carried before marrying. She realizes that [[Jon Arryn]] took a soiled bride, thinking, "Lysa was the price Jon Arryn had to pay for the swords of [[House Tully]]." She does not know who the father might have been. Later, Edmure returns to [[Riverrun]], informing Catelyn that he has sent ravens with the message that the Kingslayer escaped. Catelyn despairs because if Jaime escaped instead of being released, the [[House Lannister|Lannisters]] have no reason to free Catelyn's daughters.<br />

==Synopsis== <br />
Ser [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]] is being escorted to [[King's Landing]] by [[Brienne of Tarth|Brienne]] and his cousin Ser [[Cleos Frey]]. He was released in secrecy from [[Riverrun]] by [[Catelyn Tully|Catelyn]] after swearing never again to take up arms against the [[House Stark|Starks]] or [[House Tully|Tullys]], and to honor [[Tyrion Lannister|his brother]]’s pledge to release [[Sansa Stark|Sansa]] and [[Arya Stark|Arya]]. The oath was sworn at sword point, yet Jaime considers killing Brienne and getting away. He is still chained hand and foot. Their boat is moving down the [[Trident#Red Fork|Red Fork]] of the [[Trident]], and Jaime has Ser Cleos shave his head so he will be less recognizable should they get caught. He treats Brienne with contempt, mocking the Starks after they find several tavern wenches hung by Northmen for sleeping with the [[House Lannister|Lannisters]]. Their trip is interrupted when Brienne spots a river galley bearing down on them. The galley is under the command of Ser [[Robin Ryger]], sent by Ser [[Edmure Tully]] to return the Kingslayer. Brienne jumps out of the skiff and climbs a cliff face, knocking boulders down on the galley, sinking it. When she swims back to the boat, Jaime considers smashing her in the face with his oar, but instead pulls her into the boat.<br />

==Synopsis==<br />
<br />
[[Chett]]’s hatred of [[Jon Snow]] and [[Samwell Tarly]] for usurping his cushy position as steward to [[Maester Aemon]] has boiled over. He and [[Lark]] the Sisterman are conspiring to desert the [[Night's Watch]], along with about a dozen other sworn brothers. They plan to kill Lord Commander [[Jeor Mormont|Mormont]] and several others to prevent anyone from actively seeking them out. <br />
<br />
[[Thoren Smallwood]] and his party are the only of the three rangings to return so far, and they have seen the size of [[Mance Rayder]]’s army. Thoren wishes to give battle to Mance’s army, mainly because there are so few warriors in it, its composition mostly women and children. Chett and his men plan to kill in the dead of night, and flee to places of safety, leaving Thoren Smallwood and [[Ottyn Wythers]] as senior rangers. Thoren won’t search for them because he wants to lead the attack, and Wythers would rather flee to the Wall and could not care less about deserters. That evening, the Watch gathers before Mormont and his senior men, who announce that they will march in force against the [[wildling]] army, which is about ten days away. <br />
<br />
Late in the night, Chett awakens to find it snowing. If they would desert now they can be easily tracked so his plans are ruined. In revenge he approaches the sleeping Sam Tarly, with the intention to murder him. Then a ranger in the distance sounds his horn. Sam awakens, and they hear the horn blow three times. This is an agreed sign but has not been used in hundreds and thousands of years. For three soundings of a horn means the [[Others]] approach…<br />

==Synopsis==<br />
[[Jojen Reed|Jojen]] wakes [[Bran Stark|Bran]] from a wolf dream, and warns him that he's spending too much time as [[Summer (direwolf)|Summer]], and that while the wolf eats in the dreams, Bran does not. Bran informs them that [[Winterfell]] has been burned to the ground and is all ash except for the stone walls. They had been hiding in the crypts all this time. Trusting Bran’s vision, they decide it is now safe to come out of hiding. [[Hodor]] moves a massive stone blocking the door from the crypts, and they indeed find Winterfell in ashes. They find several of [[Theon Greyjoy|Theon]]’s ironmen dead, along with men bearing the badge of the [[Dreadfort]].<br />
<br />
The direwolves rejoin them, and lead them to Maester [[Luwin]] who lies near death in the godswood, which is still largely untouched. Jojen says, "There is power in living wood, a power strong as fire." The maester is thankful that the boys are still alive, although he knew that Theon had killed the miller’s boys from their looks, but had never revealed his knowledge to Theon. Maester Luwin admits that he is dying, and provides his last advice. He tells [[Osha]] not to send the boys off together, they are [[Robb Stark|Robb]]’s heirs and must be separated. Osha asks him where to bring the boys, but Luwin is unsure, with the [[ironmen]] to the west, the [[Ramsay Snow|Bastard of Bolton]] to the east, and war everywhere, "each man against his neighbor, and winter is coming…such folly, such black mad folly…" Maester Luwin tells Bran to be strong, that he is [[Eddard Stark|his father]]’s son. He then asks a boon of Osha, and the wildling woman sends the others away. When she returns, it is decided that Bran will go north in search of the crow with Jojen, [[Meera Reed|Meera]], Hodor and Summer, while Osha will take [[Rickon Stark|Rickon]] and [[Shaggydog]] south, perhaps to [[White Harbor]]. As Bran looks upon Winterfell for perhaps the last time, he thinks to himself, The stone is strong, the roots of the trees go deep, and under the ground the [[King In The North|Kings of Winter]] sit their thrones. It was not dead, just broken. Like me. I’m not dead either.<br />

==Synopsis==<br />
The weather in the [[Skirling Pass]] has gotten worse. [[Qhorin Halfhand|Qhorin]] sends [[Ebben]] back with the last garron to reach the [[Jeor Mormont|Lord Commander]] with all haste, while the rest try to head off pursuit. Watched by the eagle, Qhorin then sends [[Stonesnake]] back as well, to take the high passes to reach the [[Fist of the First Men]]. Qhorin commands Stonesnake to tell Mormont all that [[Jon Snow|Jon]] saw: that he faces giants and wargs and worse, and that the trees have eyes again. That night, the Halfhand asks Jon if his sword is sharp, and makes the young man recite his oath with him. Qhorin then commands Jon to yield when they are overtaken, and not to balk no matter what the wildlings ask him to do to prove himself. Jon is appalled at the suggestion, but Qhorin tells him to go among the [[Wildlings]] and learn what they plan, watch what they do, but to remember who he is and to return to Mormont when he has learned what the wildlings are searching for. Qhorin promises to tell the Lord Commander that Jon never broke his oath when he sees him again.<br />
<br />
They are overtaken soon after by [[Rattleshirt]] and a party of wildlings, [[Ygritte]] amongst them. They have Ebben’s head, and Rattleshirt orders them killed. Jon yields, as Qhorin ordered him to, and the Halfhand says in contempt, "I was warned bastard blood is craven." Rattleshirt commands Jon to kill Qhorin to prove himself. Jon slays the big ranger only after [[Ghost]] gives him an opening by biting the man’s calf. The wildlings accept him despite Rattleshirt’s misgivings, and Ygritte tells him that the eagle was once [[Orell|the man]] he killed up in the passes when they captured her.<br />

[[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]] lies abed dreaming of the men who died fighting alongside him in [[Battle of the Blackwater|the battle]], as well as those he killed. He dreams of [[Tysha]] as well, and when he awakens, realizes that he is not at the [[Tower of the Hand]], and the maester hovering over him is one he does not recognize. Unable to speak, the maester gives him [[milk of the poppy]]. Later, when the maester returns, Tyrion knocks the poppy from his hands and demands the cast be removed from his face. Maester [[Ballabar]] keeps mumbling about [[Cersei Lannister|the Queen]]’s orders, but Tyrion will not listen. He demands wine not poppy, and looks upon his destroyed face in a mirror. Three-quarters of his nose is gone along with part of his lip, and the stitching job was sloppy. Tyrion sends the maester away and asks for [[Podrick Payne]]. The boy arrives, and Tyrion swears him to silence about what occurred at the docks with Ser [[Mandon Moore]]. He tells Pod to bring Maester [[Frenken]], for he does not trust this new maester.<br />

==Synopsis==<br />
Maester [[Luwin]] warns [[Theon Greyjoy|Theon]] to yield when Ser [[Rodrik Cassel|Rodrik]] arrives, for there will be no siege. Theon has too few men to hold the castle against two thousand men. The Maester advises that Lord [[Balon Greyjoy|Balon]] is concerned about [[Moat Cailin]], because [[the North]] will be won or lost there, not at [[Winterfell]]. Luwin tells him to ask for mercy, but Theon will not hear of it. Only seventeen of his men stay with him; the rest desert along with all ten of [[Asha Greyjoy|Asha]]’s men. Even the men who remain loyal have contempt for him, and his plan to stay Ser Rodrik’s hand. When the old castellan surrounds the castle, Theon comes out to parley. Ser Rodrik gives him the chance to die honorably, but Theon pulls out his trump card: [[Beth Cassel]], with a noose around her neck. Ser Rodrik is horrified, but he is too honorable to withdraw, and tells Theon he has until sunset before he storms the walls.<br />
<br />
Later, Theon is practicing archery, knowing he cannot win, when Maester Luwin tells him there is a way he can live through this: yield, and take [[Night's Watch|the black]]. Theon decides that he will take the black and perhaps save some of his dignity and honor, but he never gets the chance. Fighting has broken out between several hundred men from the [[Dreadfort]] and Ser Rodrik’s. The Dreadfort men win because they were at first accepted as allies until they began slaughtering Ser Rodrik’s troops. Theon meets their leader, whom he identifies as [[Reek]], but learns the man all along was [[Ramsay Snow]]. The bastard prefers to call himself Ramsay Bolton, and we learn that he had a ring given to him by [[Roose Bolton|his father]] which allowed him certain authority at the Dreadfort. The Bastard of Bolton knocks Theon out cold with a punch to the face, and then commands his men, "Save me [[House Frey|the Freys]] and burn the rest. Burn it, burn it all."<br />

==Synopsis==<br />
[[Sansa Stark|Sansa]] watches the long procession of heroes and captives being presented before [[Joffrey Baratheon|the King]]. [[Tywin Lannister]] is now [[Hand of the King|Hand]], and many are rewarded for their service to [[House Lannister]] during the [[Battle of the Blackwater]], with over 600 new knights made. Ser [[Loras Tyrell]] is named a member of Joffrey’s [[Kingsguard]], and [[Margaery Tyrell|Margaery]] is betrothed to Joffrey. With this Sansa's betrothal to Joffrey is ended, to her great relief. [[Mace Tyrell]] is named to the King’s [[Small Council|small council]]. <br />
<br />
Many of the great lords sworn to [[Casterly Rock]] and [[Highgarden]] receive honors, and many hedge knights and freeriders as well. [[Lothor Brune]] is knighted, and called Apple-Eater for defeating several [[House Fossoway|Fossoway]]s; [[Philip Foote]] is granted the lands of Lord [[Bryce Caron]] and elevated to lord. [[Hallyne]] the Pyromancer is named lord, but given no lands, and [[Lancel Lannister|Lancel]] is named lord and given the land of the [[House Darry|Darrys]], except he may die or lose his arm from the wounds he suffered. [[Petyr Baelish|Littlefinger]] is granted [[Harrenhal]] and named Lord Paramount of the Trident for negotiating the treaty which brought the [[House Tyrell|Tyrells]] to the aid of [[King's Landing]]. <br />
<br />
When the captives were brought in, many swear fealty to Joffrey, but several were killed for openly ridiculing the King and refusing to bend the knee. Later that night, Sansa goes to the godswood and meets [[Dontos Hollard]], who is sad because the [[Cersei Lannister|Queen]] still has plans for Sansa, and that escape will be impossible while the Queen is watching. However, Dontos does reveal that they will escape during Joffrey’s wedding in about a month. Dontos then gives her a hair net that resembed a silver spiderweb with amethysts in it. He tells her to wear it, for "It’s magic, you see. It’s justice you hold. It’s vengeance for [[Eddard Stark|your father]]. It’s home."<br />

[[File:Valar Morghulis by Tim Tsang.jpg|In order to escape [[Harrenhal]], [[Arya Stark]] slit the throat of the guard at postern gate - © Tim Tsang|thumb|430px|left]]<br />
After aiding in the capture of [[Harrenhal]] [[Arya Stark|Arya]] is now serving Lord [[Roose Bolton]]. She is bothered by the killing and head-staking of many of the servants who worked for Lord [[Tywin Lannister|Tywin]], most of them inherited from Lady [[Shella Whent]] who held Harrenhal prior to Lord Tywin.<ref> Maester [[Tothmure]], [[Lucan]] the armorer, Goodwife [[Harra]], and Lady Shella Whent's former steward.</ref> Arya does not wish to reveal herself to the Lord of the [[Dreadfort]], even though she knows the man to be one of [[Robb Stark|Robb]]’s banner-men. <br />
<br />
Arya overhears a meeting between Bolton and his advisors, mainly [[House Frey|Freys]]. The Freys believe that Robb will lose, and that they should sue for peace and leave Harrenhal. Bolton states that he is not a man to be undone, like [[Stannis Baratheon]] was. Arya learns that [[Winterfell]] has fallen and is horrified when she finds out that her brothers are dead. Bolton dismisses the Freys, and has Arya remove the leeches. <br />
<br />
[[Qyburn]] reads a letter from the Lady [[Fat Walda Frey|Walda]], Bolton’s new wife. Bolton orders the letter burned, and a message sent to [[Helman Tallhart]], who had recently taken [[Darry]] from the [[House Lannister|Lannisters]]. Bolton orders him and [[Robett Glover]] to burn the castle and put the people within to the sword in the name of King Robb, and then to strike east for [[Duskendale]]. Bolton says that both men will wish vengeance for what has transpired to their families and homes in [[the North]].<br />
<br />
Bolton then announces that he will hunt wolves that day, for he cannot sleep with all the howling at night. That evening, Bolton returns with nine dead wolves, and tells Arya that he means to give Harrenhal to [[Vargo Hoat]] when he returns to the north. Arya is to remain at Harrenhal to serve the Goat. Outside the tower occupied by the Freys, she hears much shouting within and sees [[Elmar Frey|Elmar]] crying on the steps. The young son of [[Lord Walder Frey]] says, "We’ve been dishonored. There was a bird from the Twins. My lord father says I’ll need to marry someone else." Elmar was promised a princess originally, but whether or not he knows it to be Arya{{Ref|AGOT|59}} is unknown. <br />
<br />
Arya then decides to flee [[Harrenhal]], and eventually convinces [[Gendry]] and [[Hot Pie]] to come with her that night. They meet at the [[Tower of Ghosts]], Gendry says the postern gate is guarded, and Arya says she will get rid of the guard. She approaches him openly and tells him that Lord Roose has her giving a silver piece to all the guards for their service. She takes out the coin Jaqen gave her and drops it, when the guard reach for it, she slits his throat and the three ride out through a sally port and away from Harrenhal.<br />

==Synopsis==<br />
[[Daenerys Targaryen|Dany]] considers the defeat of the Undying [[Drogon]]’s victory. However, [[Xaro Xhoan Daxos|Xaro]], whose guest she is, warns her that the [[Warlocks]] are gathering their power to come for her, and that the other two great merchant consortiums want her either expelled from [[Qarth|the city]], or killed outright. Dany realizes she must flee, for Xaro’s protection can only go so far. The merchant again asks her to marry him, but this time Dany learns that what Xaro really wants is one of the dragons. Dany tells him that it would cost one-third of all the ships in the world in order for her to give up one of her dragons. Xaro leaves, and Dany questions Ser [[Jorah Mormont|Jorah]] about some of the mysteries she saw in the [[House of the Undying]]. Jorah says that three heads of the dragon represents [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon]] and his two sisters, but Dany is not convinced. The knight confirms that [[Rhaegar Targaryen|Rhaegar]] did play a silver harp, but he says that if the [[Aegon Targaryen|Prince’s son]] was the promised one in the vision, the infant Aegon was killed during the [[sack of King's Landing]]. Jorah has no knowledge of the song of ice and fire.<br />
<br />
Dany later sets out with the exiled knight and her bloodriders to find ships to take her from Qarth. Along the docks, Jorah warns her that two men are following them. When a merchant hands her a beautiful box as a gift, Dany opens it to find a green scarab within. The creature within the box flies out, and mayhem erupts. The creature would have bit Dany had it not been for the old man with the staff who had been following them. The merchant was a [[Sorrowful Men|Sorrowful Man]], and the creature a [[manticore]] that would have killed Dany had it bitten her. They learn that the huge, scarred eunuch is the pit-fighter Strong [[Belwas]], and the old man is his squire [[Barristan Selmy|Arstan Whitebeard]] both sent by Magister [[Illyrio Mopatis]] to return them to [[Pentos]]. The old man recognizes Mormont, and the exile recognizes him but cannot place a name. Arstan claims he comes from the [[Seven Kingdoms]], and had squired for a knight of [[House Swann]] as a young man. The two claim that Illyrio sent for them because he wishes to have her dragons in order to bring justice to the Seven Kingdoms, which are a divided and warring realm. Dany concedes that she must leave Qarth, but commands them to change the names of their three ships to that of Aegon’s three dragons.<br />

==Synopsis==<br />
Ser [[Lancel Lannister|Lancel]] curses [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]] for calling [[Joffrey Baratheon|her son]] back inside [[Red Keep#Maegor's Holdfast|the Holdfast]], when the king’s face might have rallied the troops. He claims all is lost, and Cersei leaves the room. [[Sansa Stark|Sansa]] watches as Lancel falls to his knees, severely injured. [[Dontos Hollard|Dontos]] persuades her to lock herself in her room, and when Sansa arrives at her chambers, she finds [[Sandor Clegane]] hiding in the shadows. The Hound, drunk and battered from the fighting, tells her he lost, and that he should have killed [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]] years ago. Sandor claims he is leaving [[King's Landing|the city]], maybe to head north somewhere. Clegane forces her to look at him, and then tells her, "I could keep you safe…No one would hurt you again, or I’d kill them." He then asks that she sing for him, as she had promised she would. After singing, some instinct makes her cup his cheek with her fingers, and she can feel tears on his cheeks. Sandor strips off his white cloak and leaves her room. Later, Dontos returns to bring her the news--the war is over, King’s Landing has been saved by the [[House Tyrell|Tyrells]] and Lord [[Tywin Lannister|Tywin]] and all their men. Lord Tywin held the right wing, Lord [[Randyll Tarly]] the center, and [[Mace Tyrell]] commanded the left. Yet it was the vanguard that won the battle, some say led by the ghost of King [[Renly Baratheon|Renly]] who slew Ser [[Guyard Morrigen]] in single combat.<br />

==Synopsis==<br />
[[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]], with Ser [[Balon Swann]] and Ser [[Mandon Moore]] at his side, is cutting through [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]]’s forces. He is confused to see such a large force of men to the west, seemingly fighting Stannis’s men, and can’t figure out where they came from. But he has little time to consider it, as he sees hundreds of Stannis’s troops crossing the [[Blackwater Rush|Blackwater]] by using the half-sunk ships as a bridge. Racing onto the boats, Tyrion’s men are overwhelmed, and he goes over the edge of a gunwale, clinging for his life. Ser Mandon Moore appears and tells Tyrion to take his hand, his left hand. As Tyrion reaches for his hand, he instinctively withdraws as Ser Mandon’s sword slices into his face. Tyrion, grievously wounded, watches as [[Podrick Payne]] saves his life by shoving Ser Mandon into the river.<br />

==Synopsis==<br />
[[Davos Seaworth|Davos]]’s ship ''[[Black Betha]]'' is in the second line on the right as [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]]’s great fleet enters [[Blackwater Bay]]. He sees that the city defenders have few enough ships, but the shore is well fortified, and dozens of catapults and archers line the walls of the cities. Davos is glad to know that Stannis sent [[Melisandre]] back to [[Dragonstone]], because the king feared the commonfolk would say it was the sorceress who won the battle. <br />
<br />
As they pass two winch towers on either side of the headwaters of the channel entering the [[Blackwater Rush]], Davos fears a chain boom, which he sees exists, but it is not raised. The old sailor is curious, but there is little time to consider what it means. Fighting breaks out, and despite his inexperience, Ser [[Imry Florent]]’s battle plans seem to be working well, until the barge with the [[wildfire]] in it explodes. The channel turns into a ruin of hundreds of ships, many burning from the unquenchable green liquid. Davos goes overboard as hundreds of both men on both sides die screaming in the green blaze. As the mass of ships and debris begin to float back out to sea and Davos hopes he can reach the open sea, he sees the great chain boom raised closing off the Blackwater Rush!<br />

==Synopsis==<br />
[[Sansa Stark|Sansa]] is in the sept of [[Red Keep#Maegor's Holdfast|Maegor's Holdfast]]. The [[battle of the Blackwater]] is joined and the people in the sept are waiting for the outcome. <br />
<br />
[[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]] had obliged her to see him off before. He had made her kiss [[Hearteater|his sword]] promising that he would kill [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]] with it. Sansa hoped that Joffrey would fight himself and get himself killed. She told him that her brother [[Robb Stark|Robb]] was always in the thick of the fight. Joffrey replies that he will kill Robb as well. <br />
<br />
In the sept the people are singing. Sansa sings with them until they start praying for the victory of Joffrey. Silently Sansa prays for his defeat and goes away. As she leaves for Maegor's Holdfast she can hear the sound of battle. <br />
<br />
Within the holdfast Sansa notices [[Ilyn Payne]]. She asks Cersei why Ser Ilyn has come. Cersei explains why the need him:<br />
:::-''"When the axes smash down those doors, you may be glad of him."''<br />
:::-''"Won't your guards protect us?"''<br />
:::-''And who will protect us from my guards? The queen gave [[Osfryd Kettleblack|Osfryd]] a sideways look. "Loyal sellswords are rare as virgin whores. If the battle is lost my guards will trip on those crimson cloaks in their haste to rip them off. They'll steal what they can and flee, along with the serving men, washer women, and stableboys, all out to save their own worthless hides. Do you have any notion what happens when a city is sacked, Sansa? No, you wouldn't, would you? All you know of life you learned from singers, and there's such a dearth of good sacking songs."''<br />
:::-''True knights would never harm women and children. The words rang hollow in her ears even as she said them.''<br />
:::-''True knights. The queen seemed to find that wonderfully amusing. "No doubt you're right. So why don't you just eat your broth like a good girl and wait for [[Symeon Star-Eyes]] and Prince [[Aemon Targaryen|Aemon the Dragonknight]] to come rescue you, sweetling. I'm sure it won't be very long now."''<br />

==Synopsis==<br />
[[Theon Greyjoy|Theon]] is having another nightmare when [[Reek]] awakens him to inform him of [[Asha Greyjoy|his sister]]’s arrival in [[Winterfell]]. He has been having nightmares of the evening he and Reek killed the boys at the old mill and mounted their tarred heads on the gates of Winterfell. Theon is concerned because several of his men have mysteriously turned up dead recently. Asha has arrived with only 20 men, and she berates him for a fool for the slaughter of two innocent children, both of whom were princes. Asha plans to leave him only ten men, despite Theon’s protests that the remainder of [[the North]] is mobilizing against him, and that [[Dagmer]] was defeated at [[Torrhen's Square]], allowing Ser [[Rodrik Cassel]] to begin marching back to Winterfell. Asha tells him he should have burnt Winterfell to the ground and brought the two princes to [[Pyke]] as hostages. Asha again calls him a fool for his actions, but gives him one last chance to burn Winterfell and return to [[Deepwood Motte]] with her. Theon will not hear of it, not wishing to give up his prize. He tells his sister he killed the boys to pay for [[Rodrik Greyjoy|Rodrik]] and [[Maron Greyjoy|Maron]], hoping [[Balon Greyjoy|his father]] would approve. Asha departs in disgust. Reek asks Theon for his permission to return to the [[Dreadfort]] and gather men to help him protect Winterfell. Theon, desperate for men, agrees.<br />
<br />
That night, Theon dreams of the night King [[Robert Baratheon|Robert]] feasted at Winterfell, nearly two years before. But all the diners are dead, Robert with his guts spilling out, Lord [[Eddard Stark|Eddard]] headless, and dozens of others Theon has known. But there are others he has never met, a sad girl with a crown of winter roses who could only be [[Lyanna Stark]], Ned’s brother [[Brandon Stark|Brandon]] and father [[Rickard Stark|Rickard]]. And then [[Robb Stark|Robb]] enters the hall with [[Grey Wind]] at his side, both bleeding from dozens of savage wounds. Theon awakes, and goes outside; thinking that the castle belongs to the [[House Stark|Starks]] and that he should have gone with his sister. He stares at the heads above the gatehouse, and reflects on what fools people are when they look with their hearts and not their eyes. The heads on the wall are from the miller’s sons, for Theon and Reek had never found [[Bran Stark|Bran]] and [[Rickon Stark|Rickon]]…<ref>Jojen Reed's precognitive dream from [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 35|Chapter 35]] is fulfilled here</ref><br />

==Synopsis==<br />
[[Catelyn Tully|Catelyn]] hears the celebration going on in [[Riverrun]], but she sits alone and desolate over the loss of her two young sons. The raven had arrived that morning, and Catelyn was beside herself with grief, despondent at the thought nearly all her children are dead or lost to her. She tells [[Brienne of Tarth|Brienne]] that she sent [[Jaime Lannister|the Kingslayer]] a bottle of wine to loosen his tongue. She means to question him, and is perhaps contemplating having the man killed since she has so little to live for anymore. At midnight, Catelyn goes to interrogate Jaime, and asks Brienne to wait outside. Jaime mocks her at first, but eventually agrees to answer her questions if she agrees to answer his. Jaime admits to being the father of all [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]]’s children, and to throwing [[Bran Stark|Bran]] out the tower window. However, Jaime denies sending the assassin after Bran, saying, "if I wanted your Bran dead I would have slain him myself." Catelyn questions him about the dagger that [[Petyr Baelish|Littlefinger]] claimed [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]] had won from him. Jaime backs what Tyrion told her in the [[Mountains of the Moon]], that he always bets on his brother and had lost at that tourney. Jaime admits that King [[Robert Baratheon|Robert]] had mocked him with the dagger at the feast the night of the tourney, and Catelyn is dismayed that Littlefinger, who had been like a brother to her once, would deceive her the way he had.<br />
<br />
Catelyn then reveals that [[Robb Stark|Robb]] had recently taken [[the Crag]] from the [[House Westerling|Westerlings]], and marched ever closer to [[Casterly Rock]]. Jaime then steers the conversation to what really happened to [[Brandon Stark]] and Lord [[Rickard Stark|Rickard]] at the hands of the Mad King [[Aerys II Targaryen|Aerys]], perhaps to absolve himself of having slain the king. Brandon was on his way to Riverrun when he learned of [[Lyanna Stark|Lyanna]]'s disappearance, and had instead gone to [[King's Landing]] with a handful of friends, all sons of prominent lords, and upon entering the Red Keep, Brandon shouted for [[Rhaegar Targaryen|Rhaegar]] to "come out and die". Rhaegar was not there to answer the challenge, and Aerys had Brandon and his men arrested for conspiring to murder his heir. Aerys demanded the fathers of the men come to King’s Landing to answer the charges against their sons; when they came, both fathers and sons were murdered at the command of King Aerys, with Brandon dying of strangulation trying to reach his father who was being burnt alive by Aerys's pyromancers. Jaime was a young member of the [[Kingsguard]] when he saw all this, and it was Ser [[Gerold Hightower]] who told him, "You swore a vow to guard the king, not to judge him", Jaime admitting that the White Bull was a better man than he. Jaime, now fully drunk, angrily rants that he is reviled for what he considers his finest act and begins to mock [[Eddard Stark|Ned Stark]]’s honor, stating that unlike Ned, a man who fathered [[Jon Snow|a bastard]], he has never been unfaithful and that Ned had no right to judge him, the man who avenged his father and brother, but Catelyn has heard enough, and calls for Brienne’s sword.<br />

==Synopsis==<br />
[[Varys]] shows [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]] a message from [[Winterfell]] that reveals [[Bran Stark|Bran]] and [[Rickon Stark|Rickon]] were killed at the hands of [[Theon Greyjoy]]. Tyrion goes to tell [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]] the news, wanting very much to see her reaction. She tells him she could have frightened Bran into silence, but [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]] reacted without thinking. Tyrion tells her that they must take good care of [[Sansa Stark|Sansa]], because with two of her sons dead, Lady [[Catelyn Tully|Catelyn]] might decide to kill Jaime. Cersei warns him that he trusts Varys too much, telling him that the Spider feeds them all information to make them think they would be helpless without him. She reveals that Varys told her Tyrion meant to take [[Sandor Clegane|the Hound]] from [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]], and Tyrion explains he needs Sandor Clegane and Ser [[Balon Swann]] to lead sorties in the upcoming battle. Tyrion also informs her he means to give Joffrey a small command far out of the main fighting, so that the men can see their King leading them. <br />
<br />
Cersei then springs a surprise on Tyrion, bringing out who she thinks is Tyrion’s whore, [[Alayaya]]. The girl has been badly beaten, and the Queen reveals she did this because [[House Lannister|a Lannister]] always pays her debts, and Tyrion has been conspiring against her since he arrived. Tyrion pretends to be horrified, but is relieved that his sister had not found [[Shae]]. Cersei tells him the whore will not be harmed so long as [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen]] remains safe, but Tyrion bluffs by saying he will have Tommen treated the same way the girl is. Alayaya does not give Tyrion away, and goes along with the whole thing. Tyrion then threatens to pay Cersei back for what she did, when she least expects it. Having lost, the Queen shouts at him to get out. He finds Shae in his room, having come through the secret passage, but she was blindfolded by Varys and does not know where the entrance lies. <br />

==Synopsis==<br />
[[Jon Snow|Jon]] tells [[Qhorin Halfhand]] what [[Ygritte]] had said to him about [[Mance Rayder]] accepting him if he ran off. Qhorin confirms this. Qhorin knew Mance when he was a black brother, and the ranger tells Jon that Mance loved songs and [[wildling]] women, and that he was a wildling captured as a child by the Watch. He was the best ranger they had, but he returned to his roots, some say to gain a crown. Qhorin suspects that Jon let Ygritte go, and Jon confirms that he did, however Qhorin understands that the girl was not a threat, and if he had wanted her dead he would have had [[Ebben]] do it, or have done it himself. Qhorin tells Jon that he now knows him better than he did before, and that it was important for a commander to know his men.<br />
<br />
They were traveling at night and resting during the day. That morning, Jon dreams of five direwolves, when there should have been six. Seeing through the eyes of [[Ghost]], he finds himself in a forest and senses a voice calling his name from a nearby [[weirwood]], one that resembled [[Bran Stark|his brother]] except it had three eyes. His brother explains to him how to open his eyes, and the tree reaches down and touches him, and he finds himself back in the mountains. He is atop a cliff, and oversees thousands of men training for combat, and he also sees [[mammoth]]s with [[giants]] riding them. Suddenly, an [[Orell|eagle]] soars out of the sky coming straight for him. Jon awakens shouting Ghost’s name. The others hear his shout, and he tells them what he sees. Qhorin calls it a wolf dream, and Ebben calls Jon a [[skinchanger]]. Qhorin, however, does not balk at the thought of wargs and giants during a time when the dead walk and the trees have eyes again. They set out at just before dusk, and spot an eagle watching them, well out of bowshot. <br />
<br />
Soon after, they find Ghost wounded and dress the direwolf's wounds. Qhorin tells them they must head back to the [[Fist of the First Men|Fist]], for they have been seen by the eagle which they fear is a skinchanger as well. They begin the journey back through the [[Skirling Pass]] without lighting any fires despite the cold. But their lead on the enemy was shortening, and when they came upon the place where the wildlings were killed, Squire [[Dalbridge]] remains behind with all their arrows, sacrificing himself to give the others an advantage.<br />

==Synopsis==<br />
[[Sansa Stark|Sansa]] meets again with Ser [[Dontos Hollard|Dontos]] in the godswood, and learns that he hears more things as a fool then he ever did as a knight. And [[Varys]] the Spider pays in gold for anything overheard, making Dontos believe [[Moon Boy]] has been working for Varys for years. Dontos tells her that [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]] burned the sept at [[Storm's End]] at the behest of the [[Melisandre|Red Woman]]. When Sansa asks him to make good on his promise, Dontos tells her the time is not right for their escape. Dontos does promise her that when his friend returns to [[King's Landing]], they will have a ship to escape on. On her way back to her room, Sansa is grabbed by [[Sandor Clegane|the Hound]]. Clegane is in a foul mood as ever, and tells her that he enjoys killing, and that only cowards fight with fire. He claims he fears no man, but Sansa thinks that he does fear [[Gregor Clegane|his brother]]. Once again, he assures her that there are no true knights. <br />
<br />
That night, Sansa has a dream where she is surrounded by a mob, and calls out to all the great knights, but none respond to her call. She feels herself bleeding, and awakes to find the sheets soaked with blood. She realizes that she just had her first flowering, and burns the sheets in fear that [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]] would find out and want to bed her. Her maids find out and bring her before [[Cersei Lannister|the Queen]], but Cersei comforts her, knowing the girl is frightened at the prospect of marrying Joffrey. She tells him how difficult he was to bear, and how [[Robert Baratheon|Robert]] was out hunting when Joffrey was born. Cersei informs her that while she may not love Joffrey, she will love the children she bears him. The Queen also reveals that Robert had always wanted to be loved, to have friends and be cheered, and that her brother [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]] had the same disease. <br />

==Synopsis== <br />
<br />
[[File:Ygritte by AniaEm.jpg|thumb|250px|Ygritte by Anja Dalisa ©|left]]<br />
<br />
As [[Qhorin Halfhand]]’s party moves through the [[Skirling Pass]], they note watchers high up in the pass. Qhorin sends [[Stonesnake]] and Jon to dispatch the watchers, and they were warned not to let them sound a horn. Stonesnake teaches Jon how to climb a sheer cliff face, and they eventually reach the top above the [[wildling|wildlings]]. There were three, and after killing two, the third turns out to be a woman. She yields to them, and Jon takes her captive, despite Stonesnake’s warning that she should be killed. When she learns that Jon is a bastard son of a Stark lord, she tells him the wildling story of [[Bael|Bael the Bard]]. Supposedly, before he joined the free folk, he was a raider, or, according to Stonesnake, a murderer and robber. <br />
<br />
The [[Brandon_Stark_(the_daughterless)|Stark King]] wanted Bael’s head, but was never successful in capturing the bandit. To teach the king a lesson, Bael slipped into [[Winterfell]] calling himself Sygerrik, which means ‘deceiver’ in the old tongue of the [[First Men]], which the giants still speak. In return for his performance, he requests the fairest flower in Winterfell, and the king gave him the rare winter rose. In the morning, the singer was gone along with King Brandon’s daughter. <br />
<br />
A year later, the king’s daughter is found in her bedchamber with a young baby. Bael had hidden her in the crypts of Winterfell. Thirty years later when Bael was [[King-Beyond-the-Wall]] and led the wildlings south, it was his son, the new Stark King, who slew Bael, since the bard would not harm his son. Upon returning home, the young king’s mother killed herself when she found out Bael was dead. Jon does not believe the story, which claims that the blood of the Starks and the wildlings are the same. <br />
<br />
When Qhorin and the others arrive, [[Ygritte]] recognizes the Halfhand and confirms that the wildlings would kill him if he yielded. Qhorin’s men state that she should be killed, and Qhorin leaves Jon alone with Ygritte to carry out the task. Ygritte tells Jon that [[Mance Rayder]] would accept him if he ran off with her. Jon, about to behead her, finally stops himself and tells her to run off. <br />

==Synopsis== <br />
[[File:Looking for Stark children by MarcSimonetti.jpg|250px|thumb|Looking for Stark children by MarcSimonetti]]<br />
<br />
[[Theon Greyjoy|Theon]], who has been having nightmares of late, awakes in the dead of night and notices the absence of the direwolves' howls. He sends [[Urzen]] to investigate and wakes [[Wex Pyke|Wex]] to make sure [[Bran Stark|Bran]] and [[Rickon Stark|Rickon]] are in their beds. Wex returns to inform Theon that the wolves are gone, along with both boys, and that a couple of his ironmen have been killed outside the [[Winterfell#Hunter's Gate|Hunter's Gate]]. He orders them to roust the castle and have Black [[Lorren]] check the gates.<br />
<br />
Theon has already sent [[Stygg]] to fetch help from his sister [[Asha Greyjoy|Asha]] at [[Deepwood Motte]], but help is far off. He learns that both [[House Reed|Reeds]], [[Hodor]], and [[Osha]] are missing as well, and Theon curses himself for trusting the wildling woman. He has the people of [[Winterfell]] gather and demands to know the whereabouts of [[Bran Stark|Bran]] and [[Rickon Stark|Rickon]]. When no one responds, [[Reek]] tells Theon to strip off their skins, as Lord [[Roose Bolton|Bolton]] used to say, "A naked man has few secrets, but a flayed man’s got none." Theon considers what he knows of the [[House Bolton|Boltons]], that their lords used to wear cloaks made from the skins of their enemies, and several Starks ‘had ended thus’. Supposedly, that had stopped a thousand years ago when the Boltons bent the knee to Winterfell. <br />
<br />
Theon then sets out with several of his men, bringing along a couple of huntsmen from Winterfell, as well as Maester [[Luwin]] since he cannot be trusted if left alone. [[Walder Frey (Little)|Little Walder]] comes too, saying he wants a wolfskin cloak. They track the boys into the [[Wolfswood]], but lose the trail by a stream. No matter how hard they search, the hounds cannot regain the trail, and they begin to head back to Winterfell, with Theon despairing of how he can reverse the indignity of losing the boys, especially with [[Asha Greyjoy|Asha]] soon to arrive.<br />
<br />
Theon does not want to appear weak before his sister, but Reek comes to the rescue by showing him the contents of a bag he is carrying. He suggests the boys are hiding at the old mill on the [[Acorn Water]]. Theon is somehow sure they’re there, and sends the others back to Winterfell, telling Maester Luwin he will show no mercy to the boys since his patience has worn out.<br />

==Synopsis== <br />
[[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]] dispatches his clansmen into the [[Kingswood]] to raid [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]]'s baggage trains, ambush his scouts, and perform night raids. Tyrion feels he can trust only about a quarter of the 6,000 men in the [[City Watch of King's Landing |City Watch]], and feels unprepared for the coming battle. He orders [[Bronn]] to start burning down the houses along the wall by the quay, feeling that the enemy could scale the wall easier by climbing on the roofs of the houses. Tyrion is aware that [[Winterfell]] had fallen to the [[ironmen]]. [[Balon Swann]] had been named to the Kingsguard to replace [[Preston Greenfield]], and Tyrion had approved, but he did not approve of Cersei’s choice of [[Osmund Kettleblack]] to replace [[Boros Blount]]. Blount had been stripped of his white cloak after he had surrendered [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen]] immediately when [[Jacelyn Bywater|Jacelyn]]’s men overtook them. Blount was rotting in [[Rosby]]’s dungeon on the count of treason, since the Kingsguard are supposed to give their lives in defending the royal family. <br />
<br />
Tyrion had appointed the new [[High Septon]], and told him to warn the people that Stannis meant to burn the [[Great Sept of Baelor]]. Tyrion also visits the [[Alchemists' Guild]], and is surprised to learn that they have 13,000 jars of [[wildfire]], way ahead of schedule. When Tyrion asks [[Hallyne]] why, the pyromancer explains that their spells have been more potent of late, and was at a loss to explain why. He does ask Tyrion if there were any [[dragon]]s about, and elaborates something he had heard a long time ago, that magic had begun to disappear from the world when the last dragon died. <br />
<br />
Jacelyn informs Tyrion that Tommen is safe, but the Hand does not know where the boy is being kept in case Tyrion is captured and tortured by the invaders. [[Varys]] then informs Tyrion of a plot by several merchants calling themselves [[Antler Men]] to arm commoners in the streets. Tyrion writes the order for their arrest, one of them being the master smith [[Salloreon]].<br />

[[File: House_of_Dust_MarcSimonetti.jpg |[[Daenerys]] being attacked by the Undying Ones - by Marc Simonetti ©|thumb|350px|right]]<br />
<br />
[[Daenerys Targaryen]] enters the [[House of the Undying]]<br />
<br />
==Synopsis==<br />
Daenerys stands before the House of the Undying. [[Drogon]] hisses a gray and ancient ruin and most of her companions Ser [[Jorah Mormont|Jorah]], [[Jhogo]], [[Aggo]], and [[Xaro Xhoan Daxos|Xaro]], tell her she should turn back, but she is resolute that she must enter the abode of the Warlocks. [[Pyat Pree]] steps out to her, saying that Daenerys must enter alone, or not at all. He leads to the entrance, warning her to always take the door to her right, and take any stairs up. On her way she will see visions of the past, future and days that never were, and those that would speak to her from other rooms, but she must not to enter any room and keep her path until she reaches the Undying audience chamber. <br />
<br />
At the entrance, Daenerys drink glass of [[shade of the evening]] a dwarf gives her, to prepare her for the truths within and enters. In the House of the Undying she notices right away that she is in the presence of sorcery. Fortunately, she brought [[Drogon]] with her into the Warlocks' home. Daenerys sees a great many visions during her travel through the halls:<br />
<br />
# A beautiful naked woman sprawling on a floor with four little men, with rat like faces raping her.<br />
# A feast of corpses, a room full of savagely slaughtered bodies, and many of the corpses have cups or spoons in their hands; above them sits a dead man on a throne with the head of a wolf, wearing an iron crown and holding a leg of lamb like a king would hold a sceptre;<ref>Spoiler: a reference to the [[Red Wedding]]</ref><br />
# old, dead, loyal Ser [[Willem Darry]] beckons her into the house with the red door, in [[Braavos]]<ref>The place where Daenerys grew up</ref> <br />
# An [[Aerys II Targaryen|old man]] with long silver hair sits on a [[Iron Throne|barbed throne]] in a great hall with dragon skulls, and says "Let him be the king of ashes";<ref>Spoiler: King [[Aerys II Targaryen]] ordering the destruction of King's Landing, during the [[Sack of King's Landing]]</ref><br />
# a [[Rhaegar Targaryen|man]] who looked like [[Viserys Targaryen|Viserys]], but taller and with darker eyes, who says to a [[Elia Martell|woman]] nursing a baby, "[[Aegon Targaryen|Aegon]]… What better name for a King… He is the Prince that was Promised, and his is the song of ice and fire"; and when the man’s eyes meet Dany’s, he says either to her or the woman with the baby, "There must be one more… The dragon has three heads", and he picks up a silver harp and begins to play;<br />
# a vision of Pyat Pree telling her the visit was over, and to follow him into a garden;<br />
# a great hall with several robed people claiming to be the [[The Undying Ones|Undying]] of [[Qarth]], who tell her, "We sent the comet to show you the way (to Qarth)… shall we teach you the secret speech of dragonkind?", but it turns out to be sorcery.<br />
<br />
Finally, Daenerys comes upon a room with several figures that were no more than shadows, unbreathing, and over them floated a human heart, blue and corrupted (these are apparently the real Undying). The figures speak inside Dany’s head, saying "we know… the shape of shadows… morrows not yet made… drink from the cup of ice… drink from the cup of fire… Mother of Dragons… Child of Three… three heads has the dragon… three fires must you light: one for life and one for death and one to love… three mounts must you ride: one to bed and one to dread and one to love… three treasons will you know: once for blood and once for gold and once for love… daughter of death, slayer of lies, bride of fire…" She now sees visions in her head, floating faster and faster:<br />
<br />
# [[Viserys Targaryen|Viserys]] dying;<br />
# a tall lord with copper skin and silver hair bearing the banner of a fiery stallion (probably [[Rhaego]], her unborn son);<br />
# a [[Rhaegar Targaryen|dying prince]] with rubies flying from his armor whispering the name of a [[Lyanna Stark|woman]] with his last breath;<br />
# a [[Stannis Baratheon|blue-eyed king]] with a red sword in his hand who cast no shadow;<br />
# a cloth dragon amidst a cheering crowd;<br />
# a great stone beast flying from a smoking tower, breathing shadow fire;<br />
# her Silver horse given to her by [[Drogo]] at her wedding;<br />
# a corpse at the prow of a ship, eyes bright in his dead face, smiling sadly;<ref>Possibly a reference to Jon Connington</ref><br />
# a blue flower growing from a chink in a wall of ice;<br />
# shadows dancing in a tent;<ref>A likely reference to the death of [[Renly Baratheon]], in [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 33|Chapter 33 of ''A Clash of Kings'']]</ref><br />
# a little girl running toward a house with a red door;{{Ref|aSoS|52}}<br />
# [[Mirri Maz Duur]] shrieking in the flames as a dragon bursts from her;<br />
# a corpse being dragged behind a silver horse;<br />
# a white lion running through grass taller than a man;<br />
# a line of naked crones emerging from a lake, kneeling before Daenerys beneath the [[Mother of Mountains]];<br />
# ten thousand slaves crying "Mother" as Daenerys rode by on her silver.<ref>A reference to the [[Unsullied]]</ref><br />
<br />
At this point, the visions turn to nightmare as the Undying try to consume Dany, and she is helpless to stop them until Drogon starts to tear the corrupted heart to pieces. Fleeing from the burning House of the Undying, Pyat Pree attacks her with a dagger, but Drogon interrupts him long enough for Daenerys to hear [[Jhogo]]’s whip crack, and then she was in the arms of Ser [[Jorah Mormont|Jorah]].<br />

==Synopsis==<br />
[[Arya Stark|Arya]] and [[Hot Pie]] are eating tarts in the kitchens, when the [[Brave Companions|Bloody Mummers]] return, this time with nearly 100 northmen as prisoners, along with their commander, [[Robett Glover]]. [[Vargo Hoat]] claims that Lord [[Roose Bolton]] fled with his host after the battle. Ser [[Amory Lorch]] has the men imprisoned in the Widow’s Tower. Arya tries to convince [[Gendry]] to help her free the northmen, but the apprentice smith is happy enough where he is and wants no part of it. Arya later goes to the godswood to practice with a wooden stick, and she meets [[Jaqen H'ghar]] there. The Lorathi tells her he would have done with his promise, and asks her to name a third. He also knows her to be Arya Stark, and tells her that some people have many names. She asks him to help her free the northmen, but Jaqen reminds her that she has only one name left. When Arya asks if she could name anybody, even the king, Jaqen tells her, "Speak the name, and death will come. On the morrow, at the turn of the moon, a year from this day, it will come. A man does not fly…but one foot moves and then another and one day a man is there, and a king dies. A girl whispers if she fears to speak aloud. Whisper it now. Is it [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]]?" Arya whispers "Jaqen H’ghar", and stuns the man. But Jaqen is unafraid, and a dagger appears in his hand, telling her she would lose her only friend. Arya says that a friend would help her, and Jaqen agrees to help her if she names another name. They go and find [[Rorge]] and [[Biter]], and Jaqen tells her, "The hungry gods will feast on blood tonight, if a man would do this thing", but Arya is resolute.<br />
<br />
Jaqen brings Arya along, and has her demand several kettles of hot soup from the cooks. Each man takes one of the huge kettles, with Rorge carrying two, and invade the guardtower where the prisoners are kept. Boiling soup flies everywhere as the guards are dispatched, and when Rorge unlocks the door to the cells, Robett Glover thanks them and asks if they are from the Brave Companions. Arya is confused, but has no time to ask him what he meant when fighting breaks out in the great castle. Jaqen wipes blood from his sword on Arya’s shift, telling her this is her work. Later, Arya takes back the name, and asks if she still can name a third, but Jaqen tells her she has gotten far more than three deaths. As she watches, Jaqen tells her the debt is paid and that he must die, and his features change as he passes a hand over his face. Arya asks who he is and if she could learn, but Jaqen tells her that she would need to go with him across the [[Narrow Sea]]. He leaves her with a coin, of great value in the right place, and tells her that if she ever needs to find him again, she should give the coin to any man from [[Braavos]], and say ''"Valar morghulis"''. Jaqen, who claims his name is as dead as Arry, then disappears into the night.<br />
<br />
Later, after the northmen and the Bloody Mummers have secured [[Harrenhal]], Lord Roose Bolton arrives, and Vargo Hoat turns the castle over to him. The prisoners were all a ruse to begin with, and apparently Bolton had bought the services of the Qohorik sellsword. As Roose Bolton takes control of the castle, [[Shagwell]] grabs Arya and presents her to her brother’s bannerman as the weasel who made the soup. Bolton asks her name, and Arya tells him ‘Nan’. The Lord of the Dreadfort then asks if she is afraid of leeches, for he claims that a man must purge himself of bad blood. When Arya tells him she is not afraid, Bolton names her his cupbearer. The banners over the gatehouse are changed to the flayed man of the [[Dreadfort]] and the direwolf of the [[House Stark|Starks]]. Arya watches as the [[Bloody Mummers]] parade Ser Amory around naked, then feed him to a caged bear, and she thinks to herself, a bear all in black, like [[Yoren]].<br />

==Synopsis==<br />
[[Bran Stark|Bran]] is once again dreaming through the eyes of [[Summer]], and he and [[Shaggydog|his brother]] can smell something wrong in the air. The direwolf tries to climb a tree to reach the wall, following Bran’s thoughts. Summer falls from the tree, and Bran awakes to find a strange man in his room, followed by [[Theon Greyjoy]]. Theon tells him that the castle is his now, that his [[ironmen]] had swam the moat and unlocked the postern gate. His father’s former ward informs him that he must make the people of [[Winterfell]] aware that Theon is in command, and that no one will be hurt if they concede. Bran watches as all those whom [[Jojen Reed|Jojen]] had seen in his dream die, and all of the crannogman’s words have come true.{{Ref|aCoK|35}} Most in the castle defy Theon, but [[Reek]] and [[Osha]] join his service. Bran is able to convince the rest that fighting is not the answer.<br />
