Third Person POV.
Westeros....
...
A scroll fell onto his desk after reading it about the latest news from the south. Jeor Mormont was quite lost.
The news from the south... a lot had happened in the last two moons, since the war worsened with events shifting the course of several battlefronts, while the kings were reduced to only three.He knew this would certainly start affecting the Wall at a crisis point here as well.
Regarding the south, the Greyjoys were still invading and raiding the north, while most of the army was still in the south, with some resistances rising.
The bastard son of Roose Bolton was trying to take back Winterfell after Theon's betrayal, who had managed to sneak in and seize the castle by killing all those he grew up with, a betrayal that no one in the north would forget.
He himself, in an even more heinous act, had just placed the two bodies of Bran and Rickon Stark at the front of the castle, while the Bolton banners were advancing to reclaim Winterfell once and for all.
In the southern realms, things had become a complete mess, starting with Renly Baratheon having been killed before the war against his brother.
The forces split after that, with a part following his older brother, Stannis. The Tyrells seemed lost, and it even looked like they were striking a deal directly with the Lannisters, according to rumors from a few weeks ago.
Meanwhile, in the Riverlands, something shocking happened. Robb Stark was assassinated inside the Twins, the seat of House Frey, along with his mother and pregnant wife, all killed as guests of Walder Frey, who had welcomed them as such.
Obviously, Roose Bolton, who survived, was with the Freys and had plotted to strike at the entire northern force outside the castle. Rumors claim that Tywin, Roose, and Walder Frey were united in this.
Later, a letter was issued to all the north by Joffrey Baratheon, first of his name, that Roose Bolton was assuming they would be the new lords of the North and the Starks were declared traitors and enemies of the realm.
At the same time, they were hoping to bring Ned Stark's head to King's Landing, with him imprisoned in the Vale of Arryn, but that didn't happen, as Lord Royce ended up rescuing him, going against his lady in the Vale and taking him out of the Eyrie's prison.
No one knows Ned Stark's whereabouts anymore, but he was certainly a threat to Roose Bolton's position. And the south would never have peace while Ned was alive.
Several lords, placed by Lysa Arryn, were desperately searching for Ned before he left the realm and sought his allies in the North in pursuit of vengeance. Certainly, he wouldn't be doing well after learning of the unfortunate events involving his son and wife. It was expected that he would seek revenge.
Stannis hoped that Ned would publicly support him for his cause, but news about Ned remained unclear.
It was at this moment that Stannis Baratheon ended up preparing an attack to launch against King's Landing. No one knows exactly if the attack had already started there, as the news had not yet arrived and would take at least a moon to get that information, but the city was being guarded only by the City Watch, along with the Kingsguard under the command of Tyrion Lannister, the dwarf who was still the Hand of the King.
There were reports that the Tyrells were marching to King's Landing as well. It seems the deal with the Lannisters had worked.
Another thing people were wondering was: where was the self-proclaimed Daemon Targaryen? By now, everyone was keeping an eye on him, waiting for any new move, but for the last two moons there had been no news of him being seen anywhere.
