Synopsis

Catelyn and her escort are nearing Riverrun and are met by Martyn Rivers and his outriders. She learns that Robb has crushed Ser Stafford Lannister’s levies, and that the Greatjon has seized three of the Lannisters’ gold mines. Robb reached Oxcross by following a trail Grey Wind had discovered around the Golden Tooth. However, Martyn tells her that Lord Tywin is marching on Riverrun as they speak. Catelyn makes all haste back to her father’s castle, but first takes Brienne as her sworn sword, to prevent the girl from doing anything foolish. Catelyn is fearful of her brother’s chances in battle against Lord Tywin, and outside Riverrun discovers Lannisters hanging from the walls. Edmure informs her that four men from Ser Cleos's party attempted to free Ser Jaime, and had nearly succeeded. They were hung for their deeds, and the Kingslayer was placed in the deep dungeons and chained to the wall. Edmure also explains that birds had arrived from Storm's End, with messages from Ser Cortnay Penrose seeking help. Penrose claimed he feared for the boy, and when Edmure asks who the Castellan meant, Brienne tells him it is Edric Storm, Robert’s only known high-born bastard. Catelyn makes known her dissent in Edmure giving Lord Tywin battle. Her brother has commanded Roose Bolton to take Harrenhal, and has also called the levies from the Twins, those under the command of Ser Helman Tallhart. Catelyn argues that Robb left those men to make certain Lord Walder kept faith. She learns that Roose Bolton wed one of Lord Walder’s daughters.

She then visits her father, but Lord Hoster mistakes her for Lysa, and mumbles several strange, disjointed lines, "Jon’s a good man…strong, kind…you’ll wed when Catelyn does…That stripling (Catelyn reflects that her father said this part with vehemence)…wretched boy…not speak that name to me, your duty…" Catelyn is then led by Utherydes Wayn to the silent sisters who possess Lord Eddard’s bones. She orders them to deliver his body to the crypts beneath Winterfell. When she states that she must thank Cersei for even this much, her father’s Steward tells her to thank the Imp, since it was his doing. Catelyn thinks to herself, One day I will thank them all.
