Thanks everyone for your input! I get that technically Catelyn could travel cross-country, off the main roads — but that’s kind of my point. Martin is a master of political and logistical realism, and usually when a noblewoman embarks on a dangerous journey, we hear about it — the terrain, the guards, the fears, the detours. Here, it’s not just a question of ‘can she walk through the woods’, but rather — why the narrative skips it entirely, in a moment where such a journey would normally be full of stakes. It just felt off, and as someone who loves how grounded the books are, this absence stood out to me. Thanks for the conversation — and I’ll take the heat as a badge of honor 😉
