Opening post by Lady Alys Karstark · #1
This is the part I got wrong twice. This will not help anybody take a seat, and I am posting it anyway. Winter nights are long and the board is quiet.
Strip the songs away and it comes to this: whether the red priests see anything at all. I think the plain answer is the true one, and everybody has talked themselves past it.
The thing that unsettles me is that the people best placed to know went to considerable trouble to leave no record. Men do not do that over nothing.
I would rather you heard it here than in a war report.
