Quotes by Danwell
Kennos: If the gods are good, they'll be swallowed up in quicksand or gobbled down by lizard-lions.
Danwell: Or taken in by frogeaters. I would not put it past the crannogmen to shelter outlaws.[9]—Kennos of Kayce and Danwell
Quotes about Danwell
It was, oh, a year ago, no more, Jon Arryn was still the King's Hand, and I went to the city to see my sons ride in the tourney. Stevron and Jared are too old for the lists now, but Danwell and Hosteen rode, Perwyn as well, and a couple of my bastards tried the melee. If I'd known how they'd shame me, I would never have troubled myself to make the journey. Why did I need to ride all that way to see Hosteen knocked off his horse by that Tyrell whelp? I ask you. The boy's half his age, Ser Daisy they call him, something like that. And Danwell was unhorsed by a hedge knight! Some days I wonder if those two are truly mine.[3]
