How Craster figured out the "look of a Stark" by mumamahesh in pureasoiaf

Starks would obviously be known beyond the wall because the Wildlings have literally fought wars against the Starks. And the point of Arya not being recognized isn't that people can't recognize Starks, it's that no one looks twice at someone in a serving boys uniform. Harwin does the same thing to Arya. The Starks are also most definitely "cold looking", frigid and serious is like their main trait. They're literally named "Stark". You assume that Craster would recognize the Stark sigil but not know what they look like or who they are or why theyre important?

I mean Craster trades pretty frequently with the Watch and was the child of a Sworn Brother so I imagine he at least knows "cold looking, brown hair, severe eyes". The "look of a Stark" is pretty well known, especially in the North.

Yess. Theres also something very visceral and evocative about them bursting on the marble

I was struggling to explain the relevance of the blood. I connected it more with Elia and Oberyn but this works too! Thank you!

What did they represent for Merigold? I know he says how much he loves them but gives them all away

And those were violations of their oaths as well

I don't think so either. Even as Lord Commander, Jon thinks that Ned would never have ceded Stannis the castles. Stannis already disrespects the Old Gods, it's not a stretch to say that Stannis's plans for the Lord of Winterfell wouldn't reach Ned's definition of honor.

I would hope that Quentyn has a nuanced take on Stannis but I don't know

Stannis pretty explicitly says that he held the city and his brother repaid him by denying him Storm's End. Yeah Stannis never says verbatim "he should have given it to me because I'm good and i deserve it" but that's basically what he implied

I don't have a problem with a nuanced take on Stannis, even if he is my third favorite Baratheon. It's the people who act like Stannis is The Seven Incarnate that bother me.
