* ForWantOfANail: Ned's death and Catelyn's promise to him causes a ''lot'' of ripples. To wit:
** Perhaps the most noticeable one is that Rickon is never conceived. Thus, when the direwolves are found, the direwolf that would've been Shaggydog is instead given to Jon to raise alongside Ghost and (re)named Storm. It symbolizes how his growing relationship with Catelyn has caused him to be more confident and recognize himself as not just a Stark, but also as one of her children.
** Jon never joins the Night's Watch, with Catelyn expressly forbidding it. Instead, he becomes her assistant of sorts, helping her in aiding Robb with his lordly duties and spying on the other lords during feasts. This fosters a parent-child bond between them, leading to [[spoiler:Catelyn having him legitimized so he can marry Jeyne Poole]].
** As Theon was Ned's ward, he's forced to leave Winterfell after his death and sent to Dragonstone to become Stannis' instead, as he is the only other lord Robert knew of that would actually execute Theon if Balon rebelled. As Stannis is a much harsher but more honest captor, Theon matures much faster under him, developing a genuine, brotherly bond with Shireen and eventually swearing off the Ironborn and pledging himself to Stannis instead after the war begins.
** As Robb is eight when Ned dies, that means Catelyn is his regent until he's of age. This means she's more concerned with consolidating her family's hold over Winterfell and the North, leading her to adopt a more Northern mindset. This includes making sure her children pray in the Godswood only, so they can be seen as Northern as possible.
*** She has Robb betrothed to Meera Reed. As House Reed is an esteemed Northern House that has not much influence or power, it doesn't offend any of the other houses and keeps the balance of power in the region in check.
*** In deep contrast to canon, Catelyn is reluctant to accept Robert's betrothal of Joffrey to Sansa, wanting to keep Sansa close and marry her to a Northern house to further entrench the Starks' hold over the North. She accepts because she can't refuse Robert, but tries to delay the match as long as possible by having Sansa raised in Winterfell first before sending her south.
*** Rather than send Bran south, she plans to send him to White Harbor for fostering instead, allowing him to fulfill his dream of becoming a knight while still keeping him North. She also plans to give him Queenscrown as a potential holdfast.
*** [[spoiler:After legitimizing Jon, she installs him as the future Lord of Moat Cailin, allowing further protection from the South and their wars]].
** The biggest is that, with Ned's death, King Robert never visits Winterfell to make him Hand to the King. This leads to ''none'' of the Starks going south.
*** Kevan Lannister becomes Hand to the King after Jon Arryn dies. That means, after Robert dies, Cersei and Joffrey don't have nearly as much influence over the court before Tyrion and later Tywin arrive, causing Barristan Selmy to remain in the Kingsguard instead of joining Daenerys. Because Barristan doesn't join Daenerys, Daenerys gets stung by the manticore and loses one of her hands.
*** As the Starks never meet the Royal Family, Lady never dies and Nymeria never has to flee.
*** Since Ned is never executed by Joffrey and the Lannisters don't have Sansa as a hostage, the War of Five Kings becomes the War of ''Three'' Kings, with the North largely staying out of the fighting (outside of defending their coasts from the Ironborn) and maintaining a neutral stance. The Riverlands do end up joining the wars, but on the side of the Lannisters instead.
*** Another consequence of Ned never being executed by the Lannisters is that the Northern houses have no reason to be angry at the South and the Iron Throne, so the idea of Northern independence doesn't even come up. [[spoiler:So, when the Others become an issue, no fuss is made when Robb offers to bend the knee to Daenerys in exchange for her help fighting them off]].
*** While Sansa is still betrothed to Joffrey, she never actually meets him. The betrothal is instead offered to Catelyn by a visiting Littlefinger. The betrothal is broken off, however, [[spoiler:when Joffrey tries to have Arys Oakheart and Meryn Trant kidnap her while under guest right, so he can have a Stark hostage to force the North to join the war.

Sansa instead ends up being engaged to Harrion Karstark, heir to House Karstark.
*** Since the feast at Winterfell never happened, Mance Rayder had no reason to infiltrate the castle, and this caused him to never meet his canonical wife Dalla. [[spoiler:Which in turn leaves him completely unattached when he meets the widowed Catelyn, eventually forming a relationship with her]].
*** Because [[spoiler:Joffrey wasn't poisoned and the resulting events that led to Tyrion fleeing Westeros and meeting Jon Connington and Young Griff/Aegon Targaryen don't occur, Aegon went to Slaver's Bay to try and woo Daenerys... at the same time Quentyn tried doing the same.
