Opening post by Lord Beric Cerwyn · #1
My maester tells me I raise this too often. My maester is welcome to raise something better.
What I am actually asking is who poisoned Joffrey, and who let it happen. My maester has a theory. My maester has fourteen theories.
There is a version of this where the truth is dull — a bad decision, a bad winter, nobody's grand design — and I have never once heard anybody argue for it.
It matters less than the harvest, and I will still be arguing about it at midwinter.
