Opening post by Lord Beric Cerwyn · #1
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 where Benjen Stark went. I used to be sure of it. I am older now, and the sureness has worn thin.
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.
Say I am wrong, if you think so. Somebody usually does.
