North.

After beating the best warriors that this tribe from Skagos had to offer, no one else dared to question Daemon's worth, while everyone was looking at him as if he were not an ordinary man, which earned him looks of admiration and adoration from many there, now turned to follow him. In the end, the leader had to submit to Daemon's conditions.

With Daemon being a Stark, the Magnar of Skagos agreed to send more than two thousand men to the continent. After more than a hundred years, they were summoned by another Stark, and more tribes would be called, giving a total of over five thousand men.

But still, Daemon needed to visit other tribes on the island. He had a brief meeting about it, while also needing to deal with transporting those men to the continent. Although the island was not far from the coastal lands, there were no ships, with the people not being very developed due to their isolation.

He would have to see with Alys to try to get transportation, since there were some port cities in that region.

He mounted his horse again outside the city and advanced to the next territories of the island, where other clans were scattered. Just as he determined, his passage through the clans was not long, since he had only faced a challenge in that last city. The rest of the people followed him and, upon seeing the dragon, looked automatically.

And they seemed to believe when he said that he had conquered the Magnar of Skagos by accepting his challenge. All would be summoned after that, but Daemon had to show who would be the man they would be fighting for.

Daemon spoke of his reasons for being there and why he was summoning all the people of the island, expecting everyone to answer his call. He finally left the clans and went straight to the continent, heading to the region south of the Karstarks' lands, where he found Alys and the others advancing toward Winterfell.

They were surprised by the arrival of the dragon while Daemon gave instructions, asking her to send a letter as soon as she met the lady of Karhold.

He already had a raven ready to carry the information to the castle. She, though surprised by the haste, did what he asked. Daemon tied the message to the animal's body and, through his connection, commanded it to leave the place. He then returned to his dragon, while Alys's group continued heading south.

Jon also noticed that Alys was very close to the leader of the free folk whom he had placed to help her control Karhold with the thousand men, but he said nothing about it.

She flew back west and a few hours later, he finally reached the coast above the lands of House Glover. Daemon quickly saw the mountains before the coast.

Here it would be a bit more complicated, given the number of clans in that region, and he would not be able to conquer them all at once.

There were more than forty of them, and with the exception of the south and the western houses, these were one of the only territories that had no men favorable to his cause, and he needed to conquer them somehow.

That is why he needed to draw everyone's attention, for he would not have time to visit all the clans.

He would aim only at two of the clans in the region, which would be the Norrey, closest to the Wall and also with stronger ties between them and the Night's Watch. In addition, it was the clan that most spied on them in the Gift.

They would serve as a base for Daemon to see in some way how the situation stood and what they thought about Daemon and the army of free folk he had brought from beyond the Wall — since the mountain clans openly hated the wildlings, like any other southern lord. Even more so, as they were constant targets of attacks just like Bear Island, the Umbers' territory, and even the Glovers.
