Editing A Feast for Crows (section)

===In the crownlands and riverlands===
[[Brienne of Tarth]] continues her quest to find [[Sansa Stark]]. She is found by [[Podrick Payne]], Tyrion's former squire, and agrees to let him accompany her. They pass north through the town of [[Duskendale]], where they encounter the Tyrell army under Lord [[Randyll Tarly]] and are joined by an old acquaintance of Brienne, Ser [[Hyle Hunt]]. Brienne's explorations take her along [[Crackclaw Point]], where she kills several of the now-scattered [[Bloody Mummers]], and to the [[Quiet Isle]] in the estuary of the [[Trident]]. The [[Elder Brother (Quiet Isle)|Elder Brother]] of the septry tells her that he found [[Sandor Clegane]] dying under a tree and learned that he had been with [[Arya Stark]], who fled towards the coast. Brienne's pursuit takes her to [[Maidenpool]] and [[Saltpans]], but she can find no sign of Arya. Her group runs across the remnants of the [[brotherhood without banners]], who take her captive at the [[crossroads inn]] after she fights more Bloody Mummers. [[Thoros of Myr]] tells her that [[Beric Dondarrion]] died, giving up his borrowed life to save another. They take her to the undead Catelyn Stark, who is now called Lady Stoneheart. Catelyn believes that Brienne has betrayed her by allowing Jaime to go free without returning with her daughters. She offers Brienne a chance to redeem herself by killing Jaime; when Brienne refuses, Stoneheart orders her, Podrick, and Hyle hanged. As they dangle on the noose, Brienne screams a word.

Jaime departs King's Landing to help end the [[siege of Riverrun]], where the [[House Frey|Frey]] and [[House Lannister|Lannister]] besiegers are still defied by the castle's castellan, Ser [[Brynden Tully]]. Each day Ser [[Ryman Frey]] threatens to hang the Blackfish's nephew, the captive Lord [[Edmure Tully]], and Brynden refuses Jaime's terms of surrender. Jaime cuts Edmure down and negotiates a surrender with him, as he is the true lord of the castle. Edmure is returned to Riverrun, but he delays his surrender for half a day, allowing his uncle to slip out one of Riverrun's water gates, past the Lannister siege. Furious, Jaime has Edmure sent under heavy guard to Casterly Rock. [[Emmon Frey]] takes his appointed place as [[Lord of Riverrun]]. Shortly after the siege has ended, snowflakes start falling across the riverlands. Winter has come. Jaime realizes that there will be no time for another harvest. The Seven Kingdoms will suffer harshly in what is to come.
