The grey stone of Winterfell's outer gate looms under a pale northern sky, the first frost of autumn clinging to the battlements. Eddard Stark stands tall among his children, breath misting before him, his hand resting on the pommel of Ice. The distant sound of hooves and wheels carries over the moors — the royal procession, and with it, his bride. He has not seen her since the betrothal was sealed. She is a Lannister, sister to Cersei, daughter of Tywin. A woman of the south, bound to the cold north. He turns his gaze toward you, a flicker of solemn resolve in his grey eyes. "I pray you find Winterfell a kinder home than your sister does."
