Synopsis

Only Catelyn, Tyrion, Ser Rodrik, Bronn, Marillion and Ser Willis Wode made it through the Mountains of the Moon and are being escorted by Ser Donnel Waynwood to the Bloody Gate. Catelyn notices how Bronn and Tyrion have become friends. They meet Ser Brynden Tully at the Bloody Gate, and he and Cat hug each other. The Blackfish had been close to all the Tully children, including Ser Edmure, and even Petyr Baelish, until he left Riverrun after Lysa and Catelyn’s weddings due to a long feud with his brother, Lord Hoster. Ser Brynden warns her that her sister is unstable, and very afraid.

They pass the Bloody Gate, where a dozen armies had dashed themselves to pieces during the Age of Heroes. Ser Brynden is troubled by Robert Arryn being Lord of the Eyrie, for he is too weak to sit his father’s seat. Lysa is courting suitors for her hand in marriage, but he believes she intends to rule until Robert comes of age. After passing through a valley surrounded by the mountains, they reach the Gates of the Moon and meet Lord Nestor Royce. Catelyn intends to rest there until morning, but word came down from the Eyrie that her sister demands her to make the trip immediately. Both Catelyn and Ser Brynden are angered by her sister's demands.

Mya Stone takes Catelyn up the long trip to the Eyrie, passing the three waykeeps: Stone, Snow, and Sky. Mya tells Catelyn about a squire she loves, Mychel Redfort, but Cat knows his family is highborn and will never consent to their son marrying a bastard. After taking mules to reach Sky, Catelyn will continue no further by foot, and is taken up in a basket by winch. Catelyn is brought to her sister’s quarters, and Lysa is polite until Ser Vardis Egen and Maester Colemon depart. Then she yells at Catelyn for bringing Tyrion to the Eyrie, thus dragging her into Catelyn’s quarrel with the Lannisters. Cat replies that it was Lysa who sent her the letter naming the Lannisters as murdering her husband. Lysa is scared, wants nothing to do with war, and is near insane. When Robert Arryn comes out of his room, holding a doll, Catelyn thinks to herself ‘Jon Arryn’s son?’, incredulously. The child is scared by what Cat is saying, and Lysa placates him by allowing him to suckle at her breast, even though he is six years old. Lysa feels the child is strong, thinking her husband’s statement on his deathbed ‘the seed is strong’ was referring to his son. Robert Arryn wants to see Tyrion, "the bad man", fly.
