Selected reading
Varys, known as the Spider, serves as master of whisperers on the king’s small council. Born in Lys and mutilated in a blood-magic ritual, he survived by turning theft and information into power before building networks of ‘little birds’ in Westeros. He served Aerys II and was retained by Robert after the rebellion, cultivating a reputation for knowing secrets while concealing his own purposes.

- ... that the first seat from where Aegon I Targaryen ruled was called the Aegonfort?

“Do you even know what honor is?” —Brynden Tully to Jaime Lannister
A horse. —Jaime Lannister to himself[6]
“I dream of it sometimes. Of Renly’s dying. A green tent, candles, a woman screaming. And blood. I was still abed when he died. Your Devan will tell you. He tried to wake me. Dawn was nigh and my lords were waiting, fretting. I should have been ahorse, armored. I knew Renly would attack at break of day. Devan says I thrashed and cried out, but what does it matter? It was a dream. I was in my tent when Renly died, and when I woke my hands were clean.” —Stannis Baratheon, to Davos Seaworth[7]
