Featured article During the War of the Five Kings, Lord Stannis Baratheon of Dragonstone proclaims his claim to the Iron Throne. However, he lacks the strength, as his younger brother Renly has also proclaimed himself to be king, and has gained the loyalty of the men of the stormlands and the Reach. Believing that the lords of the stormlands owe him loyalty, Stannis sails with all his strength to his parental seat and besieges Storm's End. Renly has gathered his huge army at Bitterbridge. Upon learning of Stannis's move, he splits his army and rides with some twenty thousand cavalry to Storm's End to break the siege. With Lady Catelyn Stark in attendance, Renly and Stannis meet for a parlay, during which Renly offers Stannis a peach. Unable to set aside their differences and unable to yield, Renly and Stannis agree that a battle is set to start at dawn the next day. However, a shadow assassin summoned by Melisandre causes sufficient chaos in Renly's camp. With Renly to lead them, the majority of the host that had accompanied him to Storm's End swears their allegiance to Stannis, although a fifth of Renly's knights returns to Bitterbridge with Ser Loras Tyrell. Storm's End's castellan, Ser Cortnay Penrose, refuses to yield the castle to Stannis, and the siege carries on. Read more...   More featured articles... Featured quotes “Once they figure a way to work a dead horse, we’ll be next. Likely I’ll be the first too. ‘Edd,’ they’ll say, ‘dying’s no excuse for laying down no more, so get on up and take this spear, you’ve got first watch tonight.’ Well, I shouldn’t be so gloomy. Might be I’ll die before they work it out.” —Dolorous Edd “You swore a vow to guard the king, not to judge him.” —Ser Gerold Hightower, to Jaime Lannister “Was that their king?” —Jon Snow “Giants have no kings, no more'n mammoths do, nor snow bears, nor the great whales o' the grey sea. That was Mag Mar Tun Doh Weg. Mag the Mighty. You can kneel to him if you like, he won't mind. I know your kneeler's knees must be itching, for want of some king to bend to. Watch out he don't step on you, though. Giants have bad eyes, and might be he wouldn't see some little crow all the way down there by his feet.” —Tormund Giantsbane   More quotes...
