Chapter Twenty-Two - Catelyn 2 - A Clash of Kings | A Song of Ice and Fire

Published: June 21, 2021, 4 a.m.

Cat arrives in the Reach to discuss an alliance with King Renly Baratheon. She finds him amidst a tremendous host, playing at being king with feasting and tournaments. His nonchalance is punctured by news that his brother Stannis has besieged, not King\\u2019s Landing, but the Baratheon seat of Storm\\u2019s End. Mackelly and Simon consider the internecine implications.

Chapter Review:
Catelyn Stark awakes from sweet dreams of her family reunited, to the reality that she\\u2019s headed further away from them. She and her honor/body-guard have skirted the troubles in the Riverlands and arrived safely in the Reach. Today will see them reach the upper Mander River and the Roseroad. She eschews a lavish breakfast to speed things along.

They\\u2019re spied and escorted into Renly\\u2019s camp. The army is larger than she\\u2019d imagined, with banners from all over the Reach and the Stormlands. At the center, is the town of Bitterbridge and noise of a great tournament. Cat watches as an unknown knight defeats Ser Loras Tyrell to win the grand melee. The knight is revealed to be Brienne, the tall and homely daughter of Lord Selwyn Tarth.

Brienne joins Renly\\u2019s Rainbow Guard. Cat jousts (figuratively, and) politely with Renly who doesn\\u2019t mind if Robb claims the title of king, as long as he ultimately bends the knee to Renly as the King of the Seven Kingdoms. He takes her to the tower so they can look upon his mighty host. She is not unimpressed. But his apparent primacy is challenged when news arrives that his brother Stannis has landed on the mainland with the focus of his attack, not King\\u2019s Landing, but Storm\\u2019s End.
