[QUOTE="Maester Luwin, post: 3258869, member: 23259"] Hey Everyone! Session 3 Summary Part 3 Septon Heward was surprised to find visitors in Winterfell’s Sept when he returned. One was a beautiful woman in her early 20’s the other a rather stout man a few years older. Upon hearing the Septon enter the man swung around & said "Greetings Septon… Heward isn’t?" Septon Heward nodded & stated “May the Seven bless you both but to whom do I have the honor of speaking?” The woman continued to pray but the man bowed slightly & said “I am Ser Brandel Manderly from White Harbor. This is my younger sister, Ismerria. We come for the tourney and…. other things. Perhaps I could speak frankly?” Septon Heward stated “But of course my son. The Seven smile upon the truth frankly stated.” The stout knight merely nodded & said “My father asked me to approach Lord Willam of the possibility of joining our Houses. My sister is sought by many I assure you. Besides being young & beautiful, she has a fine head on her shoulders. She would be an asset to any Lord lucky enough to have her!” Septon Heward stated “Blessed to have her. Those of the faith believe in faith not luck my son. And devout I might add. But how might I be of service?” The knight appeared somewhat uneasy but stated “Septon my father would arrange a marriage between my sister & Lord Artos. He has never married & my father thinks this could aid both our houses! I know you have just arrived but I was hoping you may talk to Lord Artos on our behalf or at the least arrange a meeting here so I may state my case.” Septon Heward liked this union as it would join another of the northern families of the old faith with the new. The Manderly’s of White Harbor were quite cosmopolitan & followers of the Seven. Lord Artos would need the support of the Manderly’s & their ships at White Harbor if the wildling Raymun was more than a grumkin. Septon Heward nodded “I see. I see the benefits of this union Ser Brandel. May the Crone give me the wisdom to convince Lords Willam & Artos. Now Artos is of the old faith to be sure but your House is a strong & honorable one. If your Lord father could make certain promises… of ships & men if needed in an upcoming engagement. I see this being of greater import than talk of faiths or gods.
