The eastern sky was rose and gold as the sun broke over the Vale of Arryn. Catelyn Stark1 watchedthe light spread, her hands resting on the delicate carved stone of the balustrade outside her window.
Below her the world turned from black to indigo2 to green as dawn crept across fields and forests. Palewhite mists rose off Alyssa’s Tears, where the ghost waters plunged3 over the shoulder of themountain to begin their long tumble down the face of the Giant’s Lance. Catelyn could feel the fainttouch of spray on her face.
Alyssa Arryn had seen her husband, her brothers, and all her children slain4, and yet in life she hadnever shed a tear. So in death, the gods had decreed that she would know no rest until her weepingwatered the black earth of the Vale, where the men she had loved were buried. Alyssa had been deadsix thousand years now, and still no drop of the torrent5 had ever reached the valley floor far below.
Catelyn wondered how large a waterfall her own tears would make when she died. “Tell me the restof it,” she said.
“The Kingslayer is massing a host at Casterly Rock,” Ser Rodrik Cassel answered from the roombehind her. “Your brother writes that he has sent riders to the Rock, demanding that Lord Tywinproclaim his intent, but he has had no answer. Edmure has commanded Lord Vance and Lord Piper toguard the pass below the Golden Tooth. He vows6 to you that he will yield no foot of Tully landwithout first watering it with Lannister blood.”
Catelyn turned away from the sunrise. Its beauty did little to lighten her mood; it seemed cruel for aday to dawn so fair and end so foul7 as this one promised to. “Edmure has sent riders and made vows,”
she said, “but Edmure is not the Lord of Riverrun. What of my lord father?”
“The message made no mention of Lord Hoster, my lady.” Ser Rodrik
