“I am always proud of Bran,” Catelynreplied, watching the sword as he stroked it. She could see the rippling deepwithin the steel, where the metal had been folded back on itself a hundredtimes in the forging. Catelyn had no love for swords, but she could not denythat Ice had its own beauty. It had been forged in Valyria, before the Doom hadcome to the old Freehold, when the ironsmiths had worked their metal withspells as well as hammers. Four hundred years old it was, and as sharp as theday it was forged. The name it bore was older still, a legacy from the age ofheroes, when the Starks were Kings in the North.

Something had put a fear in him so deepthat my words could not reach him.” He sighed. “Ben writes that the strength ofthe Night’s Watch is down below a thousand. It’s not only desertions. They arelosing men on rangings as well.”
