THE TWINS
ROBB STARK
The Twins, the seat of House Frey.
The castle received its name because of it's two identical stone castles standing on a margin of the Trident. It also have high curtain walls, deep moats and a barbican and portcullis in each. All in all, making it a formidable castle to Seige.
Robb and his army of 32,000 men were currently camped just outside the Castle, debating on the next course of action.
And that led to the current situation.
"My lord I must protest, it's too dangerous for you to go!!" Lord Umber protested
"Yea Robb, you are too important for us, we cannot lose you, please send someone else" Wulfric pleaded.
"I think you should listen to your cousin, Lord Stark" Ser Brynden 'Blackfish' Tully, said to his great Nephew. The Legendary Blackfish, had left his position as the Guardian of the Bloody Gate, in the Vale and had decided to join his nephew in this war.
Robb appreciated that, the Blackfish was a war hero and veteran of three wars (War Of Nine Penny Kings, Robert's Rebellion and Greyjoy Rebellion) and he was often compared with the likes of Randyll Tarly, Stannis Baratheon, and Tywin Lannister, as one of the Greatest Commanders in the Seven Kingdoms.
The Blackfish had also brought two important news with him.
1. His aunt Lysa Arryn, will not send the knights of the Vale to help him in rescuing his father and sister.
