A short time later the guards ride back towards the trees. Lord Thommas nods at you. As they ride nearby you ride into the group of riders. As you make your way into the group the guards place the colored cloaks back on to your shoulders.
A little time later you make into the encampment. Lord Thommas nods to you. "Thank you for riding with me. I look forward to it in the future." He then turns and walks into his tent.
Tyler is there to meet you. As you are walking back to your tent you get the strange feeling something is wrong. You notice that things in the camp are quiet. There are no sounds of horses or the crowd. You look around and notice no one is wandering around.
As you look to talk to Tyler he has a solemn look on his face. As he notices you looking at him and around he finally states "I was going to wait until we got back to the tent. Lord Leo Tyrell was killed today during the List. Lord Leo and Ser Jon Templeton (aka Knight of Ninestars) were facing each other. As Ser Jon's lance hit on Lord Leo's shield it slid upwards. The tip of the lance travelled up the shield hitting Lord Leo in the visor. The tip went through the helm. Lord Leo was almost beheaded. The King has called a halt to the Tourney. He is expected to make an announcement in the next day or two."

"No it sounds like this was the real thing. Ser Templeton is one of the toughest knights in the Kingdom. When people heard of the two greatest knights jousting, almost everyone was in attendance. It was standing room only. On the second pass that is when it happened." Tyler states to Karrwin. "I was going to wait until we got back to the tent, but there is more. I will tell you more when we get there."
Tyler won't say anything else. You finally get to the tent. Eon, Brandon, and Jeremiah are waiting for you. When they see you enter an air of calm is felt.
Tyler looks over at you "I didn't want to say anything before, but House Tyrell is about to be in chaos. Lord Leo's son, Trystane is now Lord. But he is only eleven years old. His mother will be named Regent in name. Lord Leo's two brothers are Ser Theodore and Ser Bryen Flowers. The two have never got along. Ser Theodore is the Lord Commander of the City Watch in Oldtown and now heir to Highgarden. He is securely in the Lord Redwyne's camp and therefore the King. Ser Bryen Flowers is the legitamized brother of Lord Leo. He is a known open supporter of Daemon Blackfyre."
"So as I said soon the House will be fighting. Ser Theodore will try to step in as Lord Trystane's regent. He will start arrainging a marriage soon, I think it will be Tanya Redwyne. Sorry Karrwin" Tyler looks up at you with sympathetic eyes.
"I think Ser Bryen will push his side. The house will split over this. I would guess soon one faction or the other will take Lord Trystane hostage." Tyler finishes.

Karrwin feels a flush of anger. "Tanya will not marry a Tyrell if I have anything to say about it!" He takes a deep breath. "I'm sorry. Anyway, I have met with Prince Blackfyre and told him that House Stark stands with him. He says that he is not going to start a rebellion, but will be ready when it happens. There will be a meeting soon for those who stand with him.
"Right now, I must draft a letter to my father. Jeremiah, could you get me paper and ink, please?" Karrwin asks.

"As you wish." Jeremiah responds. The other filter out and leave you alone.
Jeremiah returns a few minutes later. "The others have left. Eon is taking care of the men. Brandon said he was going to go for a walk. I think this has hurt him very much." He places some paper and ink down for you and then leaves.

Before Jeremiah leaves, Karrwin asks him, "How so?" referring to Brandon.
After he leaves, he composes the letter to his father. It is difficult and he finds himself crumpling up his first few attempts before he finally gets one he likes.

Father,
I hope that this letter finds you doing well. Events move quickly down here and I am doing the best I can to represent our house.
I have discovered that the King made a deal with the Greyjoys to attack the Mallisters. What else may have been involved in their deal, I do not know. As it stands, though, it appears that the King now has an iron grip on the seas.
Based on the information that the King was behind the attack on the Mallisters, I approached Daemon Blackfyre and told him that House Stark would stand with him in rebellion against the King. I realize that I should have consulted you first, however, as I said events move quickly and if I had to consult with you for every decision, I would not be able to properly react to everything. There is to be a meeting shortly of supporters of Prince Blackfyre. I will be attending and I will let you know what is said. I have also consulted Lord Thommas Fossoway on this and he knows where we stand.
Prince Blackfyre asks that the men currently under Lord Mallister be transferred to my command. He also asks that you send men to reinforce Moat Cailin and any other men you have further south. He said that once the North has declared for him, Lord Arryn will march his army north and we must be prepared for his attack.
I hope you do not think that I have overstepped my bounds, Father. I did what I felt was best for the House and for the North. Tell everyone that I miss them and think about them always.
Regards,
Karrwin Stark

Jeremiah looks at you "Brandon maybe a man of the North, but at the same time the Manderly's are the closest to the Southern Lords in the North. I get the impression he grew up on stories of knights and jousting. When I spoke to him a few days ago he was saying how impressed he was by the knights and nobility."
"I think this was a wake up call for him. He looked up to Lord Leo and Ser Templeton. There are many tales of there deeds and what great knights they are. I think he looked up to them. I think it crushed him to know that one knight died and the other lives on over a simply joust. All for the entertainment of men. I think also Brandon wanted to be like Lord Leo and live a ideal life." Jeremiah finishes.
"Let me know when you are done. I will send it right away." Jeremiah says leaving you.

Karrwin thinks for a moment about Jeremiah's words and wonders if Tyrell's death really had that much of an impact on him. The coming days will see many more deaths, he thinks. Brandon had best be prepared.
The young Stark leader lets Jeremiah know when his letter is finished and wonders what he should do for the rest of the day. Karrwin realizes that he hasn't seen Tanya since yesterday's debacle with her father. I should try to see her, he thinks, but with the tourney cancelled, her father is likely to be at the tent with her. I have no desire to encounter Allister again. Ah, well, I can't avoid him forever.
Karrwin leaves his tent and starts walking to the Redwyne pavilion.

Karrwin finds the Redwyne tent quiet. Karrwin is escorted inside, to see Tanya. She has been crying you can see. She stands and greats you.
"How are you?" She says.
"I am sorry I have not talked to you. Yesterday was quite . . . difficult. The events of today have not made it any easier." She states. "My father is off in council with the King. I have started to hear rumors. But I think the tourney will be cancelled."
