Editing Duncan the Tall (section)

===Service at Standfast===
Duncan and Aegon took service with Ser [[Eustace Osgrey]], a poor and broken [[landed knight]], at [[Standfast]] in the [[Reach]]. Also employed was Ser [[Bennis of the Brown Shield]], an old acquaintance of Duncan from his time with Arlan. Duncan and Bennis discovered that peasants of the widowed [[Rohanne Webber]], [[Lady of Coldmoat]] had dammed the [[Chequy Water]]. Bennis provoked Rohanne by cutting the cheek of one of her peasants. Duncan and Bennis began training a small levy of peasants for Eustace.

Since Eustace refused to travel to [[Coldmoat]], Duncan went to the castle to try to reason with Lady Webber. Though sexual tension charged their meeting, Rohanne refused Duncan and told him about Eustace's support of [[Daemon I Blackfyre|Daemon Blackfyre]] during the [[First Blackfyre Rebellion|Blackfyre Rebellion]]. Shocked by the revelation, Duncan attempted to leave Eustace's service, but a fire in the nearby woods caused him to suspect that Rohanne had already started her campaign against Eustace.{{Ref|TSS}}

Duncan knew that the battle was a lost cause. He disbanded Eustace's meager levies, but promised to be by his side when he faced Rohanne. Meeting with her forces, Duncan cut his own cheek, claiming he was the one who attacked Rohanne's peasant. Lady Webber and Ser Eustance refused to back down, however, and they decided upon [[trial by combat]]. Duncan represented the elderly Eustace, and Rohanne's champion was her overbearing [[castellan]], Ser [[Lucas Inchfield]]. Duncan's wrestling ability compensated for his lack of swordsmanship, and he managed to kill Lucas Longinch, though Duncan received major wounds himself and almost drowned in the stream in which they had been fighting.{{Ref|TSS}}

After recuperating, Duncan discovered that Eustace and Rohanne had settled their differences and decided to marry. Duncan felt rejected, but was confronted by Rohanne shortly before he left. He took one kiss from Rohanne and cut off a length of her signature braid as a keepsake, after which he and Aegon took their leave.{{Ref|TSS}}
