When [[Robert Baratheon|King Robert]] moves north along the [[Kingsroad]] to [[Winterfell]] to offer Lord [[Eddard Stark]] the position of [[Hand of the King]], the royal party makes a stop at the comparatively small [[Darry|Castle Darry]]. [[Tyrion Lannister]] notes that the walls are all bare, but that marks of tapestries that hung there are visible; they were apparently taken down for the royal visit on Ser Raymun's command. The Imp bribes a servant, who leads him to the cellar, where the tapestries are hidden. They have portraits of all the [[House Targaryen|Targaryen]] kings.

King Robert and [[Cersei Lannister|Queen Cersei]] make themselves uninvited guests at Castle Darry again on their voyage back to [[King's Landing]], when they are detained because of [[Arya Stark]]'s disappearance following her [[direwolf]] [[Nymeria]] mangling Prince [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]]'s arm. Neither King Robert nor Ser Raymun have forgotten that [[House Darry]] supported the Targaryens during [[Robert's Rebellion]] and that Raymun's three older brothers died in the [[Battle of the Trident]]. In the crammed conditions at the castle, tensions are soon running high.{{Ref|aGoT|16}} King and Queen take Ser Raymun's bedchamber.

Ser Raymun is summoned with all his strength to [[Riverrun]] by [[Edmure Tully]] in the name of his father, the ailing Lord [[Hoster Tully]], when [[House Tully]] calls its bannermen, following Lady [[Catelyn Tully|Catelyn Stark]] taking Tyrion Lannister captive. Raymun is camped below Riverrun when he receives word that raiders have attacked villages in his lands. By the time he has returned to the Darry lands, the raiders are already gone, but Raymun learns by the descriptions of their leader that they have been commanded by Ser [[Gregor Clegane]], a bannerman of Lord [[Tywin Lannister]], the [[Warden of the West]]. While Edmure is calling for an attack on Ser Gregor, implying a possible confrontation between the liege lords of the [[Riverlands]] and the [[Westerlands]], Lord Hoster takes a more circumspect approach. He sends  Raymun, Ser [[Karyl Vance]] and Ser [[Marq Piper]] before the [[Iron Throne]] to demand the King's justice in the matter. They take along smallfolk from villages that have been raided as witnesses.{{Ref|aGoT|43}}

The complaints are heard by Lord [[Eddard Stark]], who sits on the Iron Throne as Hand in the absence of King Robert. Smallfolk from the village of [[Sherrer]] describe the atrocities committed there. When [[Varys]] asks them whether the raiders might have been brigands, Ser Raymund suggests scornfully they were [[House Lannister|Lannister]] soldiers posing as brigands. He also describes another raid at [[Wendish Town]], where the population sought refuge in their holdfast, but the people were shot down when they tried to flee after the holdfast had been set on fire. The raiders bore no banners or identifiable armor, but there was no mistaking their leader as Ser Gregor Clegane, the Mountain That Rides. Thus Raymun dismisses Grand Maester [[Pycelle]]'s suggestion that there are large men around other than Ser Gregor, insisting that this was the Mountain's work. When [[Petyr Baelish]] asks the three knights bearing witness to the smallfolk's testimony where they were when these attacks happened, Raymun decribes the circumstances of Edmure Tully summoning him. He asks for the King's justice for the people whose villages have been attacked. In reply to this call, Lord Eddard sends out a force of 100 men led by Lord [[Beric Dondarrion]] to execute Ser Gregor and all who shared in his crimes in the name of King Robert.{{Ref|aGoT|43}} Raymun joins this force.{{Ref|aGoT|55}}

The Montain's raids were actually intended by Lord Tywin to draw Lord Eddard himself into the field and into a trap, but Lannister men commanded by Ser Jaime Lannister, who was not privy to his father's plans, had attacked and injured Lord Eddard in King's Landing earlier, preventing him from going himself. Thus it is Lord Dondarrion who is ambushed in the [[Battle at the Mummer's Ford]]. Two thirds of his force are killed.

The king appropriates Raymun's audience chamber, sitting in his high seat,[2] as well as his bedchamber.[4] Raymun keeps his emotions guarded when Arya is eventually brought before Robert.[2]

In response to the raising of a House Lannister host at Casterly Rock,[5] Raymun rides to Riverrun with all his strength as Ser Edmure Tully prepares the defenses of the riverlands.[3] Ser Gregor Clegane leads raids across the Red Fork of the Trident.[3] Hoster Tully, Lord Paramount of the Trident, sends Raymun, Ser Marq Piper, and Ser Karyl Vance to King's Landing with the survivors of Sherrer to ask the permission of King Robert to retaliate against the raiders. Eddard Stark, Hand of the King, sends Raymun with Beric Dondarrion, Lord of Blackhaven, to execute Gregor.[3]

Varys and Raymun

The lords of the Trident keep the king's peace. The Lannisters have broken it. We ask leave to answer them, steel for steel. We ask justice for the smallfolk of Sherrer and Wendish Town and the Mummer's Ford.[3]

Notes

  1. Raymun has not been formally called Lord of Darry in A Song of Ice and Fire. Eddard Stark thinks of him as Darry's lord in A Game of Thrones, Eddard III, however, and Jaime Lannister does as well in A Feast for Crows, Jaime IV. In A Storm of Swords, Arya VI, Tom of Sevenstreams mentions "Ser Raymun Darry, Lord Darry, young Lord Darry"; it is not confirmed if "Lord Darry" refers to Raymun or possibly his father.
