Editing Cregan Karstark (section)

===''A Dance with Dragons''===
Cregan and his father [[Arnolf Karstark|Arnolf]], castellan of [[Karhold]], conspire to [[Marriage|marry]] him to [[Alys Karstark]], the daughter of the late [[Rickard Karstark]], the previous [[Lord of Karhold]].{{Ref|ADWD|53}} According to Alys, after the wedding Cregan and Arnolf plan to have her brother, Lord [[Harrion Karstark|Harrion]], Lord Rickard's heir, killed by the [[House Lannister|Lannisters]], who currently hold Harrion prisoner at [[Maidenpool]]. That way, they wish to claim the lordship of [[Karhold]] for Cregan. Alys fears that Cregan may kill her once she has given birth to his child.{{ref|ADWD|44}}

To avoid the marriage all together, Alys flees north to the [[Wall]] and requests protection from the [[Night's Watch]].{{Ref|ADWD|44}} Cregan follows her with four [[men-at-arms]], a huntsman, and a pack of [[dog]]s. He arrives at [[Castle Black]] a day after Alys does, and is subsequently arrested and thrown in the [[ice cell]]s before he can claim the [[guest right]], together with four of his men, while the fifth is slain.{{Ref|ADWD|49}}

[[Jon Snow]], the new [[Lord Commander of the Night's Watch]], arranges [[wedding of Sigorn and Alys Karstark|a wedding]] between Alys and [[Sigorn]], the new [[Magnar of Thenn]]. After the ceremony, Jon confronts Cregan, offering him the option of taking the black and telling him that Alys has agreed to allow every man from Karhold who had betrayed her to do so as well. When Cregan refuses, Jon warns that King [[Stannis Baratheon]] might eventually put Cregan to death unless Cregan wears a cloak of the Night's Watch.{{Ref|ADWD|49}}

Cregan remains in the ice cells, taking to howling in the night. He additionally begins to throw his frozen feces at the men who bring him his [[food]]. When snowstorms start to bury the access to the ice cells, Jon Snow orders Cregan moved to the undervault of the [[Lord Commander's Tower]]. Cregan attempts to attack the men of the Night's Watch when they move him, but has been weakened by the cold in the ice cells.{{Ref|ADWD|69}}
