Tycho is sent to the Wall to negotiate payment of the debt of the Iron Throne with King Stannis Baratheon. He comes to Eastwatch-by-the-Sea with three ships, and then travels to Castle Black with Queen Selyse. Jon Snow negotiates with him for a loan to purchase food for the winter, and the use of his ships for a voyage. The Night's Watch provides Tycho with guides to reach Stannis, who has left Castle Black.[1]

Tycho travels to Deepwood Motte, where he pays Lady Sybelle Glover a ransom for six ironmen: Tristifer Botley, Fingers, Grimtongue, Qarl the Maid, Rook, and Roggon Rustbeard. The ironborn escort Tycho as he goes through the snow toward Winterfell, looking for Stannis. The king is not there, but Tycho finds Mors Umber outside the gates with some green boys. He takes Theon Greyjoy and Jeyne Poole, who were with Mors Umber after their escape from Winterfell. After three days they arrive at Stannis's camp in a crofters' village.[3]
