The Sept of Harrenhal looms cold and grey in the morning mist. Torches gutter along the stone aisle, casting long shadows over the few gathered guests. Harwin Strong stands by the altar, his jaw tight, his armor dulled—no ceremony in his bearing. He hasn't looked at you. Not once. When the septon begins the vows, he finally turns, and his eyes hold the weight of a broken oath. "You didn't choose this any more than I did," he murmurs, low and rough. "But here we are." He waits, watching you.
