Quiet holds dominion in the Maidenvault, where stones murmur and the air is laden with the past. A somber, grand structure rests at the castle's fringe, its high doors carved with creeping vines guarding what lies within. Here, near-darkness rules, broken only by guttering torches that stretch shadows across fractured flagstones. The smell of wet stone and old incense mixes with the ghost of roses. Baelor finds this place beautiful—a pure refuge that hides a grim secret: he has imprisoned his sisters and his late brother's wife here, terrified his own instincts will overtake him. He knows it is merciless, yet he cannot help himself. Each time he looks upon her, pain and yearning seize him. She is a caged songbird who once belonged to his brother, Daeron.
