Winter is Coming: House Stark Quest

Reader mode
...Whelp.

Kevan should probably have communicated Tywin's defeat in private rather than blurting it out for everyone to hear, but I guess he's rather traumatized after the Iceberg of Justice hit him.

Or we can go by analogy with Tristifer IV, and get called 'the Iceberg of Justice'. Okay, that sounds somewhat unintentionally silly, but I can't think of a better winter-themed word to replace 'iceberg' with here, and 'wolf of justice' is far too on-the-nose.

How about "the Biting Wind". Winter-themed, speaks of the speed of our victories, linked to our direwolf Grey Wind, while also a reminder that we crippled the Lannisters, both figuratively and, in the case of Jaime, literally.

Please. Anything but 'the Iceberg of Justice. I read this quest for epicness and hilarity, not lameness and hilarity. If that comes up in the update to officially be our nickname, I'm blaming you.

There's been tons of serious nicknames proposed (some of them by me). I assume at least one of them will get used. If we also get called the Iceberg of Justice (possibly due to a drunk Karstark or Mormont), well, I don't really see the harm in that.

I mean, to us, the Iceberg of Justice sounds silly. To a superstitious people in the medieval ages? It's a name associated with Robb Stark, who destroyed Tywin Lannister so soundly it's sounds unbelievable. I imagine that people will be terrified of the name if we end up with it as a moniker.
 
The Biting Wind actually sounds pretty cool. A bit underwhelming but it's poetic.

Anything but the Iceberg of Justice. I laugh every time I read it.

'The Iceberg of Justice is coming. It's floating towards us...very slowly... It'll be here any day now. Just you wait.'
 
The stories spread about Robb Stark, right now, will be amazing.

Here are just a small selection of rumours, that will probably be spread by the terrified Lannister men-at-arms & Knights that are with Kevan, right now (if there are any):

He rides a direwolf into battle. His sword feeds on the souls of the innocents and that's why he never lost a fight. He sees the future and reads the minds of his enemies. He defeated the Lannisters inside a week by turning his entire army into Wargs. The Northerners worship him like a god and he's king of the White Walkers.

The Demon Wolf sounds scarier but the Iceberg of Justice makes me want to giggle. That said, a man may have many names from friend and foe, no?

I just don't want it to be the name people call us. Imagine if the Kingsguard were really named after fruits instead of it being a Drunken Durrandon rambling.

So, imagining ways things will be different from canon:
Didn't Lancel turn to the Faith and confess getting Robert drunk to get gored by a boar on Cersei's orders? Will seeing the gods so clearly cursing the Lannisters here make him confess earlier?

If Melisandre isn't by Stannis' side, what do you think he's doing to ensure victory over Renly?

I honestly forget, was it Melisandre that convinced him that going to Storms End was a good idea.

I think so, yes. W/o Melisandre, Stannis and Renly might not clash exactly like canon.

EDIT: She also encouraged his pursuit of the throne when he, himself, was doubting the likelihood of success. He'll still be bitter and angry but he probably won't be as driven as canon to claim the throne at all costs. It's still his birthright as next in line but he'll likely be less zealous about things and much more likely to listen to Ser Davos' more temperate council.
