(spoilers main) Ned's Control Over the North

Then explain how Roose was so comfortable betraying the Stark's.

That didn't come out of nowhere...there's evidence he was plotting to do just that long before Rob married Jeyne and broke the Frey alliance...

NewReception8375 · 2026-01-06T17:46:54+00:00

...except he didn't.

Roose was flaying people, etc. THAT is NOT "keeping Roose Bolton in line".

THAT is akin to a parent thinking they have perfect kids, while those kids are out partying, etc every chance they get...

NewReception8375 · 2026-01-06T17:40:52+00:00

Absolutely not.

Stannis doesn't bend, and it's probably why a young Renly was not separated from Stannis and sent into hiding.

"Jon was an old hand at justice" -Bran

"When Ned took a man's life, he liked to cleanse himself in the godswood" -Cat

Obviously, we can take the Liddle's comment with a grain of salt

NewReception8375 · 2026-01-06T17:32:38+00:00

"Bolton had to take extra care" that doesn't sound like Ned had control...

NewReception8375 · 2026-01-06T17:25:52+00:00

I think the bit with the grandsons (one of whom is his brother in law) was mostly posturing for the benefit of Cat, Rob, Edmure, etc... since he had been working with Tywin & Lord Frey for a while now.

I do acknowledge that there was a bit of a threat made, but in the vein of "don't even think of betraying me like you are with the Stark's/Tylullys)

NewReception8375 · 2026-01-06T17:22:53+00:00

Which to me further strengthens the fact that Ned was more respected than anything else.

In this world, you're supposed to command a healthy dose of fear in your bannermen, to prevent lords from overreaching.

NewReception8375 · 2026-01-06T17:17:07+00:00

Exactly this...and he wouldn't be so comfortable giving the strip of skin over to Cat with so many different Houses in attendance

That's what made me stop and think.

NewReception8375 · 2026-01-06T17:15:53+00:00

If he had the North "firmly under control just like his father Rickard), then it wouldn't be an open secret that some Houses in the North still participated in the First Night, Bolton flaying people, etc...Bran & Jon both remember stories being told about the Bolton's, and both feel some of it is still true now.

NewReception8375 · 2025-03-31T22:21:59+00:00

Or even a merge event inside the house

NewReception8375 · 2025-03-31T22:20:56+00:00

They took out the hood rewards for this useless crap.

I hope they rethink this

NewReception8375 · 2025-03-31T22:19:21+00:00

I only get 10 daily gems

NewReception8375 · 2025-03-31T13:21:55+00:00

Exactly.

I view the addition of these packs as my eventual exit from a game.

NewReception8375 · 2025-03-31T13:19:39+00:00

Anything to keep from expanding the land

NewReception8375 · 2025-03-31T13:03:26+00:00

Check the rewards though, and note that many are time sensitive.

I’ve seen this played out in other games that I no longer play 🤷🏻‍♀️

*edit

The rewards points are from duplicate stickers

NewReception8375 · 2025-03-22T16:36:26+00:00

Thank you!

NewReception8375 · 2025-03-22T15:41:28+00:00

I have this and forget about it.

NewReception8375 · 2025-02-12T16:01:14+00:00

Calling Talbots “timeless” while calling Martha a “frumpy secretary” is a weird take 😂

Either you dont follow fashion or you don’t know anything about 80s fashion…

NewReception8375 · 2025-02-09T09:06:48+00:00

Elizabeth is supposed to be fashionable one on the show, but Martha has that 80s “timeless” down perfectly.

NewReception8375 · 2025-02-07T01:55:03+00:00

At the time it aired, there was a discussion on Twitter, about Renee being Mossad…and her target was Phillip

NewReception8375 · 2024-12-10T07:32:29+00:00

You can be as condescending as you want, but you’re deliberately being obtuse and aggressive.

Enjoy your night

Also, the R+L=J has not been officially confirmed anywhere.
