[[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]], with Ser [[Balon Swann]] and Ser [[Mandon Moore]] at his side, is cutting through [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]]’s forces. He is confused to see such a large force of men to the west, seemingly fighting Stannis’s men, and can’t figure out where they came from. But he has little time to consider it, as he sees hundreds of Stannis’s troops crossing the [[Blackwater Rush|Blackwater]] by using the half-sunk ships as a bridge. Racing onto the boats, Tyrion’s men are overwhelmed, and he goes over the edge of a gunwale, clinging for his life. Ser Mandon Moore appears and tells Tyrion to take his hand, his left hand. As Tyrion reaches for his hand, he instinctively withdraws as Ser Mandon’s sword slices into his face. Tyrion, grievously wounded, watches as [[Podrick Payne]] saves his life by shoving Ser Mandon into the river.
[[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]] leads a sortie from a sally point against [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis's]] forces, who have landed on the [[tourney grounds (King's Landing)|tourney grounds]] and are attacking the [[King's Gate]]. Tyrion orders [[Podrick Payne]] to turn back, but the young squire refuses to leave Tyrion's side. With Ser [[Mandon Moore]] of the [[Kingsguard]] at his side, Tyrion leads the wedge in shattering the attackers. Along the riverfront, Tyrion also sees the men of Ser [[Balon Swann]] or Ser [[Lancel Lannister]] attacking Stannis's men as they disembark from burning ships.  
 
Tyrion next rides for the [[River Gate]], feeling he has what [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]] calls ''battle fever'' as he cuts down men along the way. Balon points out to Tyrion that Stannis's men are trying to cross to the northern shore of the [[Blackwater Rush]] by leaping from deck to deck across wrecked ships. Balon and Mandon join Tyrion in attacking them as they cross the makeshift bridge.
 
The ship Tyrion is on starts to sink, and amid the chaos he is confused to see a great battle seemingly involving Stannis's men on the south shore of the Blackwater, the opposite shore of the [[Red Keep]]. When Tyrion is about to slip into the water, Mandon reaches from the next ship and tells Tyrion to take his hand, his left hand. As Tyrion reaches for his hand, he instinctively reels backward as Mandon's sword slices part of his face. Tyrion struggles onto the deck and collapses. Mandon prepares to stab Tyrion through the throat, but suddenly lurches to the side and vanishes into the water. Podrick, who has saved Tyrion by pushing Mandon, advises his grievously-wounded master to rest.

Synopsis

[edit]
Tyrion Lannister during the Battle of the Blackwater by John Picacio ©

Tyrion leads a sortie from a sally point against Stannis's forces, who have landed on the tourney grounds and are attacking the King's Gate. Tyrion orders Podrick Payne to turn back, but the young squire refuses to leave Tyrion's side. With Ser Mandon Moore of the Kingsguard at his side, Tyrion leads the wedge in shattering the attackers. Along the riverfront, Tyrion also sees the men of Ser Balon Swann or Ser Lancel Lannister attacking Stannis's men as they disembark from burning ships.

Tyrion next rides for the River Gate, feeling he has what Jaime calls battle fever as he cuts down men along the way. Balon points out to Tyrion that Stannis's men are trying to cross to the northern shore of the Blackwater Rush by leaping from deck to deck across wrecked ships. Balon and Mandon join Tyrion in attacking them as they cross the makeshift bridge.

The ship Tyrion is on starts to sink, and amid the chaos he is confused to see a great battle seemingly involving Stannis's men on the south shore of the Blackwater, the opposite shore of the Red Keep. When Tyrion is about to slip into the water, Mandon reaches from the next ship and tells Tyrion to take his hand, his left hand. As Tyrion reaches for his hand, he instinctively reels backward as Mandon's sword slices part of his face. Tyrion struggles onto the deck and collapses. Mandon prepares to stab Tyrion through the throat, but suddenly lurches to the side and vanishes into the water. Podrick, who has saved Tyrion by pushing Mandon, advises his grievously-wounded master to rest.
