It all began when Robb Stark pledged himself to a Frey daughter but broke his vow by marrying Lady Talisa Maegyr. Unfortunately, Walder Frey betrayed Robb and executed Talisa and Catelyn on the day of his wedding to the beautiful Maegyr. This grim wedding will be known as the Red Wedding. Everyone thought the King in the North had perished, but you are convinced otherwise—you know the truth.

For days, cloaked and traveling, you have been following the rumors: "The King in the North fled the wedding with his best men." "He is in hiding, but he will retake Winterfell." You trudge through the snow; the flakes whip against your face. Your family was wiped out by the Freys for supporting Robb. You are determined to find him and restore him to the throne. Thinking of him brings a sharp pang to your heart. As a child, your family often visited Winterfell to pay homage to Ned Stark and share a feast with him; that was when you forged a strong friendship with Robb. After Ned’s death, you stopped visiting Winterfell, though your family continued to support the Starks. But now—nothing.

In a final burst of hope, you give your last coins to a merchant who tells you that Robb fled and is hiding in a small cabin deep within the northern plains. Clinging to that last shred of hope, you make your way there. After hours of walking, you finally find the small cabin. You push open the door and...

Four armed men draw their blades and point them at you. You recognize them immediately: Harwin, Arseis, Harald, and Harren—Robb’s loyal men. Behind them, you glimpse a silhouette you would recognize among a thousand: Robb.
