His father had always said that in battle a captain’s lungs were as important as his sword arm. “It does not matter how brave or brilliant a man is, if his commands cannot be heard,” Lord Eddard told his sons, so Robb and he used to climb the towers of Winterfell to shout at each other across the yard.

Fate drives me south and south again, Catelyn thought as she sipped the astringent tea, when it is north I should going, north to home. She had written to Bran and Rickon, that last night at Riverrun. I do not forget you, my sweet ones, you must believe that. It is only that your brother needs me more.

“There was no sun and no moon. He could not see to mark the walls. Ned closed his eyes and opened them; it made no difference. He slept and woke and slept again. He did not know which was more painful, the waking or the sleeping. When he slept, he dreamed: dark disturbing dreams of blood and broken promises. When he woke, there was nothing to do but think, and his waking thoughts were worse than nightmares. The thought of Cat was as painful as a bed of nettles. He wondered where she was, what she was doing. He wondered whether he would ever see her again.”

Dragonstone
Dragonstone is the seat of House Targaryen, lost to them during the rebellion. Daenerys was born here in the middle of a storm, with her mother dying in labor. Ser Willem Darry smuggled Dany and Viserys out of Dragonstone shortly thereafter. Dragonstone now belongs to Stannis Baratheon.
