In the Vale of Arryn, precisely somewhere close to Gulltown, Maya Iresons is summoned to a meeting in a remote and unassuming shack. As it turns out, the owner of this shack is none other than her employer, the Bronze Lord Orson Royce, who uses this remote place for clandestine meetings. Royce informs her of a new threat to the Vale, allegedly the Storm King Argilac Durrandon, but she sees through his deception. Regardless, he wants her to travel to Raylansfair and break into the archive, where she is supposed to retrieve ancient contracts that Lord Royce hopes to use for the good of the Vale.\\\
Just then, her companion for this journey arrives, the gruff scout Gregar Balvind. Maya decides that the quickest way to Raylansfair will be by boat and reluctantly, Gregar agrees. Lord Royce reveals to her that he expected this choice and already prepared a boat for her, where she is supposed to meet with the third member of her group, the guardsman Irving Todd. Maya, who knows Irving from the past, is less than thrilled, but accepts regardless.

In this dire situation, Loren received word from Lord Robert Raylan that he wishes to aid the Rock with five hundred men, which would be enough to protect the southern border, allowing the kingdom to focus on their northern and eastern fronts. However, with Lord Robert dead, his castellan Harris Flowers has since broken this promise and declined to send aid. To remind him of his lord's vow, someone needs to be sent as an envoy to Raylansfair. Prince Lucion brings up that Willfred could be well-suited for this task, much to the young knight's chagrin. He mentions that Willfred's bastard uncle, Roger Hill, is currently a knight errant in the northern Reach. Roger, who had effectively turned his back on his family after a particularly harsh fight with his brother Darren, is considered a good and loyal man who will surely lend his aid to the Rock. Though there is bad blood between Darren and Roger, even Willfred's father agrees that seeking his aid will be for the best.\\\
At last, Vashord Tallian also requests to be sent alongside Willfred and his father grants him command over two hundred Reyne men, around twenty of whom shall cross the border near Crakehall together with him.

!!Lucas' storyline
The day after Eaton's death, the knight Lucas Flowers is called to a meeting between Harris, the castle's housekeeper Halla Peddle and the town's septon, Corbin. During this talk, Lucas is tasked with finding Dairon, who was last seen on his way to Oldtown. To get a clue on why Dairon fled, Lucas decides to search through Lord Robert's chambers. There, he forms an uneasy alliance with the fellow knight Leonard Constantine and searches through Lord Raylans chambers, before Leonard informs him that Harris has taken some documents from the chambers.
With the help of the knight, Lucas enters Harris' chambers. He finds out that the man indeed hid a copy of Lord Raylans last will and apparently has plans to seize control over Raylansfair for himself. Before Lucas and Leonard can confront him with the help of Raylansfairs master-at-arms, Ser Ilhan Lagoon, they are forced to travel south, trying to track Dairon down. Lucas storyline ends with the reveal, that Lord Raylans last will was to destroy House Raylan and to give Raylansfair to his biggest rival, Lord Manfred Hightower of Oldtown.
!!Lyria's storyline
Meanwhile, the blacksmith Lyria Mettel in Raylansfair, gets a suspicious assignment from a mysterious stranger who goes by the name of Wolfius Woodbark. Wolfius seems to be creepy, but harmless and asks her to forge him a special dagger with a strange sigil on it. His behaviour gets increasingly unnerving, especially when he apparently takes an obsession with Lyrias teenage daughter Rosalie. Yet he offers a large sum of gold for her services and Lyria accepts his assignment. She later meets up with her friend Richard Harking, whom she does not tell about her encounter.
!!Jaron's storyline
In Oldtown, the story shifts to the viewpoint of Jaron, a young hedge knight, who recently lost his mentor, Ser Matthos the Kind. He arrives at a small inn, with the intentions to spend the night there and to look for work in the morning. However, it shouldn't come to that. Shortly after sitting down, he is approached by a street urchin, the young Himani Sand. Himani reveales to him that the Burned Man, one of Oldtown's local crimelords, has taken an interest in him and wishes to meet him. He also warns him that ignoring the Burned Man's wishes would not be advisable.
Not feeling much of a choice, Jaron accompanies Himani to one of the Burned Man's hideouts in the poorer parts of the city. At the door, Jaron first meets Harpy, the Burned Man's assistant and adopted daughter. Initially distant, she quickly warms up to Jaron, as she escorts him to a waiting room. There, Jaron encounters the Ghiscari slaver Bakr al-Astapori, a business partner of the Burned Man, with whom he has a short talk.
Shortly afterwards, Harpy returns and brings him to the Burned Man. On the way, Jaron also has a short talk with Abbas al-Yunkari, Bakr's colleague and fellow business partner of the Burned Man, before he meets the crimelord himself. The Burned Man acts polite, calm and reasonable towards Jaron, informing him of a debt Ser Matthos had with him, a debt he hopes Jaron could repay, by working with him against a couple of people whom the Burned Man sees as a threat to the stability of Oldtown.
!!Marak's storyline
In the small town of Blackhaven, in the Kingdom of the Stormlands, the sellsword Marak enjoys his life. He drinks and gets into fights just as he likes. However, his easy life should change when he encounters the enigmatic, yet alluring Noelle Mield, priestess of R'hllor, in search for a bodyguard. To impress her, Marak gets into a fight that ends with him losing, though he manages to impress Noelle enough for her to make him an offer. In exchange for his service as a bodyguard, he is offered either a substantial sum of gold, or a glimpse of the future. Out of curiosity, Marak choses the latter, which gives him a terrifying vision of the future, during which he sees a great war coming.
!!Torvin's storyline
In the castle of Harrenhal, greatest and largest castle in the known world, seat of the dreaded King Harren Hoare and capital of his kingdom, the Ironborn captain Torvin Breaker and his brother Garthon are present in the Great Hall of Harrenhal, where they see Harren judging over a starving worker, who stole a loaf of bread. Harren deals with utmost cruelty, which appalls the more reasonable Torvin and causes a conflict between the king and one of his lords, Edmyn Tully, the Lord of Riverrun. This conflict escalated to the point where Edmyn had to leave the room in disgust.
Impressed by Edmyn's brave behaviour, Torvin follows him subtly, much to Garthon's displeasure, as his brother fears the king's wrath. Torvin catches up to Edmyn and the two men get into a discussion, where they realize that they share similar values despite their different origins. Ultimately, Torvin and Edmyn form an alliance, in the hopes to take down the king and to end his unpredictable tyranny.[[/folder]]
[[folder:Chapter 2 - Broken Vows]]
!!Richard's storyline
After the disturbing events of the previous chapter, Lyria does not confide in her friend Richard Harking about what happened and about Wolfius Woodbark. While she leaves, he continues to the tavern, where he meets up with his friends, Philip Loren and Urid Strad. The three talk and have a good time, until Richard spots a man harassing the barmaid, Ilish Granver, while also implying that he knows Lyria. Heroically, Richard decides to intervene. With help from his friends, he managed to throw the stranger, who is indeed revealed to be Wolfius, out of the building.
Later that evening, Richard starts the journey home, to his farm. On his way through the nightly city, he walks past an alleyway, where he spots a gruesome sight. A young woman has just been brutally murdered, her killer fleeing. Richard doesn't think twice and chases after him, to the docks, where he enters a warehouse. In there, he manages to confront the killer, who is revealed to be Wolfius. However, the killer reveals that he has allies in the warehouse. Before Richard can react, he is shot in the leg by Alysanne Waters, on orders of Clayton Teryl. Afterwards, a barely conscious Richard is knocked out by Kersea Catelins, who proceeds to drag him off, out of the city.
!!Jenna's storyline
Meanwhile, Richard's daughter Jenna witnesses Ser Ilhan Lagoon's training session of the new recruits from a safe hiding spot in the gatehouse. Her break is interrupted by Carma Strad, a fellow servant, who informs her that the feared housekeeper Halla Peddle has new chores for Jenna. First, she is to bring refreshments to Ser Ilhan, whom Jenna is terrified of. She musters her courage and approaches him. Sensing her fear, the Impaler forces her to accompany him on a walk, during which he reveals a somewhat softer side of his, as he gives the girl some well-meant advice on how to become braver. This talk leaves Jenna with a notably improved opinion on the master-at-arms.
!!Lucas' storyline
In the Reach, Lucas Flowers and Leonard Constantine make their way south in search of Dairon. They stumble upon an inn at a crossroads, the Hammered Harp Inn, where Lucas, to his surprise, meets Temari Keys, a sellsword and member of the Gutters, a small band of sellswords whom Lucas used to work with during his time in the Free Cities. The rest of the unit, led by John Gutten, is there as well. John is overjoyed to meet Lucas again after all this time. The knight sits with his former comrades, while Leonard decides to sit by himself.
After a drunken John Gutten leaves for the night, the conversation becomes more serious, as his right-hand woman Janae reveals that John has been suffering greatly from the loss of many comrades in the recent years. She hopes that Lucas might rejoin them, which the knight politely refuses on account of his duties. He informs Janae and the Gutters' newest member Samantha Ducard about his past and his troubles with his brother Petyr. When he mentions Raylansfair, Samantha reveals that the Gutters are on their way to the city, where they plan on working for Harris Flowers. To Lucas' surprise, Samantha also mentions that Dairon has been spending the last night at the inn, meaning they are closer to the boy than expected.

He is disturbed on his vantage point by his sister Alanna, who after a brief conversation reveals that she is afraid that he could be called to war. Willfred consoles his sister and the two make their way downstairs, where the rest of the Reyne family and their household has gathered, including Lord Darren himself, his wife Lady Mileena, Two-Face, who is the captain of the guards and Alanna's handmaiden Lea.
As they compose themselves, the king and his men arrive. Loren Lannister, the stern and firm King of the Rock rides ahead, accompanied by his son and heir Lucion, the lords Stevron Marbrand and Quentyn Crakehall as well as Vashord Tallian, a ward of Lord Westerling, alongside Tinnet Reyne, Lucion's squire and Willfred's and Alanna's younger brother. Though the king's reason for coming is serious, his arrival is cordial and the sibilings are overjoyed, despite tensions between Tallian and Lord Reyne as well as Willfred and Lucion.
The king quickly calls for a war meeting, which Willfred attends alongside Tallian and Two-Face. There, he reveals that the situation is dire for the Rock, with their enemy, Harren Hoare, having started a new invasion of their lands, with his forces besieging the Golden Tooth, the border fortress of House Lefford, while the Iron Fleet launches significant attacks on their coastal holdings. More dire than that, Quentyn Crakehall uncovered a plot by Ironborn marauders to attack the weakly defended southern holdings of the Rock, effectively encircling the kingdom.
In this dire situation, Loren received word from Lord Robert Raylan that he wishes to aid the Rock with five hundred men, which would be enough to protect the southern border, allowing the kingdom to focus on their northern and eastern fronts. However, with Lord Robert dead, his castellan Harris Flowers has since broken this promise and declined to send aid. To remind him of his lord's vow, someone needs to be sent as an envoy to Raylansfair.
Prince Lucion brings up that Willfred could be well-suited for this task, much to the young knight's chagrin. He mentions that Willfred's bastard uncle, Roger Hill, is currently a knight errant in the northern Reach. Roger, who had effectively turned his back on his family after a particularly harsh fight with his brother Darren, is considered a good and loyal man who will surely lend his aid to the Rock. Though there is bad blood between Darren and Roger, even Willfred's father agrees that seeking his aid will be for the best.
At last, Vashord Tallian also requests to be sent alongside Willfred and his father grants him command over two hundred Reyne men, around twenty of whom shall cross the border near Crakehall together with him.
!!Torvin's storyline
In Harrenhal, Torvin Breaker returns from his meeting with Edmyn Tully only to find his brother Garthon, angered by his foolish decision to ally with the Riverlord against their cruel king. A fight almost breaks out between the two brothers, but Garthon relents and admits that he wishes to protect Torvin and work by his side. Though Torvin is taken by surprise, he agrees and allows Garthon to join him for his next meeting with Tully.
That night, the two brothers leave Harrenhal and meet up with Edmyn Tully and his co-conspirators in the woods near the castle. There, Torvin and Garthon meet Gabin Strad and George, the former a man-at-arms of Reymand Orkwood, the latter a soldier in Tully's honour guard. Edmyn Tully accepts a sceptical Garthon in their midst, but tensions between the two men remain. He reveals his plan. One of the Breaker brothers will accompany George to Maidenpool, where they will acquire a special crossbow and poison to kill the king. The other will aid Gabin in getting close to the king's secondborn son, Harlan Hoare, so that the fairly dim but sociable Harlan will get them a meeting with the king.
!!Ellena's storyline
In Oldtown, the orphan Ellena Terys arrives at the harbour aboard the merchant vessel Pale Princess, which she had originally joined as a stowaway in Braavos. She was discovered by the kindly Terroma, who allowed her to take his cabin and eventually paid for her journey. After a brief talk with Terroma, she grows a bit saddened when she thinks back to her past, namely to her father's murder. She removes herself from the upper decks and checks up on the captain's daughter, Talea, below deck. Afterwards, with her cheerfulness restored, she decides to accompany Terroma on a small errand through the city.

Shortly after sitting down, he is approached by a street urchin, the young Himani Sand. Himani reveales to him that the Burned Man, one of Oldtown's local crimelords, has taken an interest in him and wishes to meet him.

Not feeling much of a choice, Jaron accompanies Himani to one of the Burned Man's hideouts in the poorer parts of the city.
