For a while now, stories about the King in the North had been circulating their way around all of Westeros. Stories of his battle accomplishments and victories despite his youth and lack of battle experience were proving quite the popular topic amongst Westerosians. Lords, Ladies, and Small folk alike, regardless of their loyalties admired his achievements and the more victories he won saw the stories growing like some make-believe childhood bedtime story. Before long, they dubbed him, 'The Young Wolf' an immortal king who came riding into battle on a gigantic Direwolf, who could transform into a wolf at will and eat the flesh of his enemies. Nevertheless, after word had spread around about the Lannister ambush upon 'The Young Wolf' and his beloved wife, the stories took on a whole new life. Tales of his 'Warrior Queen' found their way to cities and villages in every corner of the realm. Taverns, brothels, and markets, anywhere where people gathered they spoke of her. Stories of her mercy, her archery and healing skills, her kindness, her strength and of course, her beauty. Without any conscious effort to gain peoples affections, her actions had won them over. Whether they were from either North or South of The Neck, it didn't matter, the people of the realm were intrigued by her.
Yet, none of this newfound acclaim could help 'The Young Wolf' in his war against the crown, the tides were about to change. After the ambush, they continued on to The Crag and received House Westerling's terms of surrender without a hitch, returning back to camp unharmed and their medical supplies replenished. However, when they arrived back at camp, it was to an absolute disaster. The night before they returned, Jaime Lannister had escaped. After killing his cousin Alton who had been placed in Jaime's cell, Torrhen Karstark came to investigate. When the young Lord entered, the Kingslayer attacked him, choking Torrhen to death with the chains used to shackle him, allowing the Kingslayer time to escape the encampment. Thankfully, the Stark Bannermen quickly recovered him, though understandably Torrhen Karstark's father, Lord Rickard wanted Jaime's head in retribution. At first, Catelyn had acted sensibly, convincing Lord Karstark to wait until Robb's return. However, with each and every cup of ale the bannerman consumed, she witnessed their hostility towards the Kingslayer escalate and feared he would not survive until the morning. And with Jaime being their only bargaining tool in arranging for her daughter's release, she realised his survival was paramount. So before her son and King returned, she had Brienne smuggle Jaime from the camp in the dead of the night, to take him to King's Landing in hopes 'The Crown' would exchange him for the release of her daughters.
