He is a longsword person, since he's very much a battle commander. There will surely have been Starks who carried the thing into combat, but Ned doesn't seem the type, and neither does daddy.

Or do you think she would stay at Winterfell with Bran and Rickon, in which case she either can put a stop to Theon/Ramsay or Makes it to the Wall/Skagos and back in the path of her destiny?

That said, when it came to the move to KL, the girl would not have been taken south.

When Ned journeyed from the Vale through the Sisters, he could have made it to Winterfell and picked up Ice. <br /><br />Why did Ned the Hand take it to KL? I don't think he was carrying it when Ned was arrested - the Lannisters probably got the sword by taking all of his possessions in the Tower of the Hand. But why carry it at all to KL? He wouldn't want to be armed ceremonially before the king, he wouldn't be doing any executions. Why not leave the sword at Winterfell with his heir?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
