“The bones remember. The strongest glamors are built of such things. A dead man’s boots, a hank of hair, a bag of fingerbones. With whispered words & prayer, a man’s shadow can be drawn from such & draped about another like a cloak. The wearer does not change, only his seeming.”
“Let me tell you a secret, Ned. More than once, I have dreamed of giving up the crown. Take ship for the Free Cities with my horse and my hammer, spend my time warring and whoring, that’s what I was made for. The sellsword king, how the singers would love me.”
-Robert Baratheon

The bitterest foes of Winterfell were undoubtedly the Red Kings of the Dreadfort, the grim lords of House Bolton whose domains stretched from the Last River to the White Knife… Red Kings were reputed to wear cloaks made from the skins of Stark princes they had captured & flayed.
“They say the king loved to hunt. The things we love destroy us every time, lad. Remember that. My son loved that young wife of his. Vain woman. If not for her, he would never have thought to sell those poachers.”
-Jeor Mormont

Ghost was curled up asleep beside the door, but he lifted his head at the sound of Jon’s boots. The direwolf’s red eyes were darker than garnets and wiser than men. Jon knelt, scratched his ear, and showed him the pommel of the sword. “Look. It’s you.”
