The celebrations surrounding the dual wedding at Riverrun have formally concluded. Men and women begin returning to their various homes, or to the hosts forming along the Reach/Western borders. In the North, the brutal winter still stops full sized armies from forming, but reports of fighting along the Reach/Dornish border in the vicinity of Starfall are heard.
As Vhagus and Bryce Dayne's respective retinues disperse back to their homes, rumors spread that the Lady Ellaria is missing, not seen since the Prince of the Iron Islands left her tent the night after the wedding. Her tent was never taken down and her belongings are present. Blood is seen on the floors. Whispers indicate that Prince Killion raped the lady and hid her body somewhere it could never be found.
In the Kingsland, Bryce Dayne's highly profitable conquest is arrested somewhat by the intervention of Admiral Celtigar's fleet and army. Raiding from bases in Estermont, Tarth, and the Stepstones, the Royal Fleet damages castles all across the frontier, but the balance of power even on sea shifts the week after the wedding ends as word spreads of a massive armada, hundreds of vessels strong, arrives from the East to lay claim to the Stepstone archipelago in the name of King Bryce.
