For Tywin Lannister-Lord of Casterly Rock, Warden1 of the West, father to Queen Cersei, Ser Jaime the Kingslayer, and Tyrion the Imp2, and grandfather to Joffrey Baratheon, the new-crowned boy king-was the true danger, Catelyn believed. “True enough,” Ser Brynden admitted. “And Tywin Lannister is no man’s fool. He sits safe behind the walls of Harrenhal, feeding his host on our harvest and burning what he does not take. Gregor is not the only dog he’s loosed. Ser Amory Lorch is in the field as well, and some sellsword out of Qohor who’d sooner maim3 a man than kill him. I’ve seen what they leave behind them. Whole villages put to the torch, women raped4 and mutilated, butchered children left unburied to draw wolves and wild dogs... it would sicken even the dead.” “When Edmure hears this, he will rage.” “And that will be just as Lord Tywin desires. Even terror has its purpose, Cat. Lannister wants to provoke us to battle.” “Robb is like to give him that wish,” Catelyn said, fretful. “He is restless as a cat sitting here, and Edmure and the Greatjon and the others will urge him on.” Her son had won two great victories, smashing Jaime Lannister in the Whispering Wood and routing his leaderless host outside the walls of Riverrun in the Battle of the Camps, but from the way some of his bannermen spoke5 of him, he might have been Aegon the Conqueror6 reborn. Brynden Blackfish arched a bushy grey eyebrow7. “More fool they. My first rule of war, Cat-never give the enemy his wish. Lord Tywin would like to fight on a field of his own choosing. He wants us to march on Harrenhal.” “Harrenhal.” Every child of the Trident knew the tales told of Harrenhal, the vast fortress8 that King Harren the Black had raised beside the waters of Gods Eye three hundred years past, when the Seven Kingdoms had been seven kingdoms, and the riverlands were ruled by the ironmen from the islands. In his pride, Harren had desired the highest hall and tallest towers in all Westeros. Forty years it had taken, rising like a great shadow on the shore of the lake while Harren’s armies
