Ep. 200: - Davos V | A Storm of Swords

<p><a href="awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Salladhor_Saan&q…; rel="nofollow">Salladhor Saan</a> tells King <a href="awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Stannis_Baratheo…; rel="nofollow">Stannis Baratheon</a> of the <a href="awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Red_Wedding"; rel="nofollow">Red Wedding</a>, how the <a href="awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/House_Frey"; rel="nofollow">Freys</a> sewed the head of <a href="awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Robb_Stark"; rel="nofollow">Robb Stark</a>'s direwolf, <a href="awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Grey_Wind"; rel="nofollow">Grey Wind</a>, on the king's shoulders and nailed a crown on its head. <a href="awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Catelyn_Stark"; rel="nofollow">Catelyn Stark</a>was slain and thrown naked into the river. Queen <a href="awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Selyse_Florent&q…; rel="nofollow">Selyse</a> and <a href="awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Axell_Florent"; rel="nofollow">Axell Florent</a> declare that it was the hand of <a href="awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/R%27hllor"; rel="nofollow">R'hllor</a> that killed the usurpers, but Stannis knows it was Lord <a href="awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Walder_Frey"; rel="nofollow">Walder Frey</a>'s handiwork. When Stannis wants to send word that he will pardon any <a href="awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Ironborn"; rel="nofollow">ironman</a> or <a href="awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/North"; rel="nofollow">northman</a> who swears fealty, <a href="awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Melisandre"; rel="nofollow">Melisandre</a> tells him that her flames revealed that new kings will pick up where the old ones died. The <a href="awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Seven_Kingdoms&q…; rel="nofollow">Seven Kingdoms</a> must be shown a sign, but Stannis has heard enough talk of stone dragons, knowing of all the follies the <a href="awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/House_Targaryen&…; rel="nofollow">Targaryens</a> caused by trying to return the <a href="awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Dragon"; rel="nofollow">dragons</a> to life. </p><p><a href="awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Davos_Seaworth&q…; rel="nofollow">Davos Seaworth</a> persuades the king by asking Melisandre why she needs <a href="awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Edric_Storm"; rel="nofollow">Edric Storm</a>'s life to raise the stone dragon. He also inquires how her leeches were responsible for two kings' deaths, when one was killed by Walder Frey and the other, <a href="awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Balon_Greyjoy"; rel="nofollow">Balon Greyjoy</a>, fell from a bridge. He also points out that only two of the three false kings are dead so far. The Red Woman has answers, but Stannis sends her away. Still not completely satisfied that he should spare Edric's life, the king sends Davos away as well. </p><p>The Onion Knight seeks out Maester <a href="awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Pylos"; rel="nofollow">Pylos</a>, who has been teaching him how to read. Davos begins to slowly read a letter that arrived some time before from the <a href="awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Wall"; rel="nofollow">Wall</a>. The missive speaks of Lord <a href="awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Jeor_Mormont"; rel="nofollow">Jeor Mormont</a>'s <a href="awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Fight_at_the_Fis…; rel="nofollow">defeat at the Fist</a>, and Maester <a href="awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Aemon_Targaryen_…)" rel="nofollow">Aemon</a>'s fear that the <a href="awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Wildling"; rel="nofollow">wildlings</a> may conquer the Wall. Pylos reveals that he showed the letter to <a href="awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Alester_Florent&…; rel="nofollow">Alester</a>, but the king and Melisandre are not aware of the warning's existence.</p><p><br></p><p><em>Follow Jimmy: </em><a href="twitter.com/theFLOCKAVELI"; rel="nofollow">twitter.com/theFLOCKAVELI</a></p>&… Linktree<em>: </em><a href="linktr.ee/supergainsbros"; rel="nofollow">linktr.ee/supergainsbros</a></p>&l… reread will continue!
