Quotes about Longspear Ryk
“She broke his lip for him and bit one ear half off, and I hear he’s got so many scratches on his back he can’t wear a cloak. She likes him well enough, though. And why not? He don’t fight with no spear, you know. Never has. So where do you think he got that name? Har!”[2]
– Tormund Giantsbane referring to Ryk stealing Munda
