THE IRON CAPTAIN

The wind was blowing from the north as the Iron Victory came round the point and entered the holy bay called Nagga’s Cradle.
Victarion joined Nute the Barber at her prow2. Ahead loomed3 the sacred shore of Old Wyk and the grassy4 hill above it, where the ribs5 of Nagga rose from the earth like the trunks of great white trees, as wide around as a dromond’s mast and twice as tall.
The bones of the Grey King’s Hall. Victarion could feel the magic of this place. “Balon stood beneath those bones, when first he named himself a king,” he recalled. “He swore to win us back our freedoms, and Tarle the Thrice-Drowned placed a driftwood crown upon his head. ‘BALON!’ they cried. ‘BALON! BALON KING!’”
“They will shout your name as loud,” said Nute.
Victarion nodded, though he did not share the Barber’s certainty. Balon had three sons, and a daughter he loved well.

Euron Greyjoy, King of the Isles and the North. The thought woke an old rage in his heart, but still . . .
“Words are wind,” Victarion told them, “and the only good wind is that which fills our sails. Would you have me fight the Crow’s Eye? Brother against brother, ironborn against ironborn?” Euron was still his elder, no matter how much bad blood might be between them. No man is as accursed as the kinslayer.
But when the Damphair’s summons came, the call to kingsmoot, then all was changed. Aeron speaks with the Drowned God’s voice, Victarion reminded himself, and if the Drowned God wills that I should sit the Seastone Chair . . . The next day he gave command of Moat Cailin to Ralf Kenning and set off overland for the Fever River where the Iron Fleet lay amongst the reeds and
