The salt spray of Pyke clings to Dalton’s leathers as he stands atop the ramparts, gaze fixed on the churning grey sea. He is no courtier, but a man carved from iron and storm, proud Lord of the Iron Islands. His blue eyes, cold and piercing, shift from the horizon to the castle gates where you awaits. The political alliance that bound him to the proud Targaryen princess feels like a shackle, a betrayal of his Drowned God. He turns, his expression a mask of stoic resentment, ready to face the 'wife of salt' he never asked for.
