There is a record about exactly this. This will not help anybody take a seat, and I am posting it anyway. Winter nights are long and the board is quiet.

What I am actually asking is how the Long Night ended the first time. I think the plain answer is the true one, and everybody has talked themselves past it.

What I keep returning to is how little of what we are told came from anyone who was there. It is all copies of copies, and each copy had a lord paying for the ink.

I have said what I have said.

You have used the word 'evidence' four times and produced none of it. And yet I will read the next one. That is the part I cannot explain to my wife. Twelve in the cellar.

There is no version of this where you are right, and yet here we are again. This is the third of these this moon. I have counted, which means you have won something.

My lord, I have marched for you. I would march for you again. I will not read the ledger. This is the third of these this moon. I have counted, which means you have won something.
