As Riverrun decorates for the weddings of Joanna Lannister and Benjen Stark, and Delila Stark and Brynden Lannister, people begin to arrive. Thousands are expected to attend, and the bitter cold is naught but a minor inconvenience to the slowly gathering nobles. The ceremony is not for ten days, but already some start to gather.

Amelia Royce arrived at Riverrun with a small retinue of ladies who had been staying at Eddard's Rest. Danya, already there, greets them at the castle.

She is among the first to arrive, and the peopl there are discussing the brave exploits of Garrett the Green, outlaw extraordinaire. They also whisper laughingly about the Lion Tamer, Nicholas Snow, and how he has supposedly robbed yet another caravan of ts valuables to continue his small scale guerilla war. Amelia notes a few Western lords have arrived, a few Riverlanders, but the only unexpected guest of note is the Lady Ellaria Dayne.

"Ellaria!" Amelia calls out cheerfully, making her way over to the Dayne girl. Ami worse a simple blue dress, leaving her truly grand affair for the wedding. "It is good to see you," She said, giving the girl a small hug. "How have you been?"

Ellaria raised an eyebrow. "My father has crowned himself king of the south and is waging a massively successful war of conquest. Also, he wants me dead." She shrugs. "But I'm not at Starfall, so I suppose I have been all right."

"I am so sorry, Ellara. I can't imagine what it must be like..." Amelia replied. "I know Benjen plans to take his armies south to fight your father... he should be arriving here any day now, I believe."

"He can't fight him," she said simply. "Not with the Faith threatening your borders. Not with this King Tyrell." She brushes her long golden hair over her shoulder. "And it will be too late for the rest of Dorne, I think. Lord Yronwood will not be faithful to Sunspear for long."

Amelia frowned, knowing Ellaria knew more about the loyalties of Dorne than herself. "Benjen will think of something; and if not him one of his advisers. But I agree, this war with the Faith needs to be ended quickly."

"Who is the most dangerous man in the North, Amelia?" Ellaria asks. "Ben Stark will have too many distractions."

"Kal Stark, without doubt," Amelia responded straight away. "I spoke with Kal recently... he is in the mood for blood and doesn't care much whose it is. Faither, Lord Dayne..." She shrugged.

"Good," she said. "I hope he likes women. At least I now he doesn't mind killing Daynes," she added, almost as an afterthought. "Is it true he has a real army? Not one of those cobbled together levies Nalya is trying to hold back my father with?"

Amelia nodded. "It's a real army, and real big too. I think he's had to send a few of the Riverland men home due to the weather, but his own host is huge. If I didn't know the way of the world better I would say it is unstoppable."

She taps her fingers together, thinking intently. "Then that's my man," she said. "Now, what about yurself, Amelia? Have you settled down yet? I hard you wre consorting with another sorcerer." She grins. "I am familiar with the concept."

"Oriax, yes," Amelia muttered, wondering how much she should say. "His knowledge was intriguing at first and I learned a lot from him. But no, he is not a man to be trusted. With anything. He is out for himself, but then what sorcerer isn't." She looked at Ellaria for a moment. "I am done with him."

"Damn," she says. "So hae you found yourself a rich lord to marry yet? Surely the suitors line up around the castles for you," she quips with a smile. "Like a flower in this cold lonely north."
