The appendices are correct as of the start of each book, not the end: Robert and Ned are marked as alive in the AGOT appendix. So Lady Whent, if she died during the course of AFFC, would be alive as of the start of AFFC and also as of the start of ADWD, because the two books start more or less simultaneously. ajaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1758815004886180861.post-80881912979696733962014-03-06T13:45:35.217+01:002014-03-06T13:45:35.217+01:00Arya is at least aware of the "who passes the...Arya is at least aware of the "who passes the sentence.."-line.

I see this (awareness of it as well as witness to it) as binding the young Starks together as much as the discovering of the Direwolf cubs. It is a foundational experience. And we have already seen Theon, Robb, and Bran react to it, in their attitudes to violence, execution and witnessing or agency of both. This is Arya's part. Why should she not see Eddard's actions as worthy of (quasi) emulation?FrankKevinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1758815004886180861.post-44103985032881038942014-03-06T02:08:17.335+01:002014-03-06T02:08:17.335+01:00Couldnt Sansa also potentially inherit harrenhal a...Couldnt Sansa also potentially inherit harrenhal as Alayne Stone if her true identity is never revealed?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1758815004886180861.post-9144569805120005352014-03-06T01:12:32.954+01:002014-03-06T01:12:32.954+01:00I've come to believe Sansa would inherit Harre...I've come to believe Sansa would inherit Harrenhal one day, with Catelyn having been the daughter of a Whent, if I recall correctly. Should Sansa's marriage to Harry the Heir or Robert happen, she'd have a claim to the North, the Vale and the Riverlands, with this huge, kingly castle smack-dab in the middle.
