After Eddard Stark's death, his vassals embraced his eldest son, Robb Stark (Richard Madden), as King of the North. The forces of the North, led by Robb, and the Lannisters confront each other, while Renly Baratheon's (Gersin Anthony) southern army keeps marching toward King's Landing. Theon (Stephen Dylan), and the people of the Iron Islands above the Northwest Black Sea. The night watchmen guarding the northern border face off against the barbarians outside the country. Daenerys Targaryen (played by Emilia Clarke), the mother of dragons, followed the trail of the comet with the old, weak and remnant soldiers, traversing the vast wilderness, toward the distant and vague great cause of restoration. Winter is coming, and the cold wind is rising. Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) remains in the captivity of House Lannister as Season 2 moves into a dark nightmare; Tyrion does his best to clear King's Landing from the sinister ; Renly and Stannis are on the brink of war, though Catelyn Stark (Michelle Fairley) begs the two to join forces against a common enemy; Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) remains trapped at the hands of a brutal and increasingly deranged Joffrey Baratheon (Jack Gleeson) and his power-hungry mother; the Stark men are separated In the vast land between the Hejian and the Great Wall of Desolation. Meanwhile, Daenerys, the Mother of Dragons, and her ragged Dothraki see a glimmer of hope in Qarth City.

It's wonderful!

The North Remembers quotes

  • [at the Chamber of the Painted Table, Stannis dictates a letter of declaration to Matthos Seaworth. Matthos reads the draft aloud]

    Matthos Seaworth: ...and I declare upon the honor of my House, that my beloved brother Robert left...

    Stannis Baratheon: He wasn't "my beloved brother". I didn't love him. He didn't love me.

    Ser Davos Seaworth: A harmless courtesy, your Grace.

    Stannis Baratheon: A lie. Take it out.

    [Matthos erases the word "beloved"]

    Matthos Seaworth: ...that my brother Robert left no trueborn heirs, the boy Joffrey, the boy Tommen, and the girl Myrcella, being born of incest between Cersi Lannister and her brother Jaime Lannister. By right of birth...

    Stannis Baratheon: Jaime Lannister, the Kingslayer. Call him what he is.

    [Matthos adds the words "the Kingslayer". Cressen secretly slips a poison pill into his wine cup. No one notices him except Davos]

    Matthos Seaworth: ...and her brother Jaime Lannister, the Kingslayer. By right of birth and blood, I do this day lay claim...

    Stannis Baratheon: Make it SER Jaime Lannister the Kingslayer. Whatever else he is, the man's still a knight.

    [Matthos adds the word "Ser"]

    Matthos Seaworth: ...Ser Jaime Lannister the Kingslayer. By right of birth and blood, I do this day lay claim to the Iron Throne of Westeros. Let all true men declare their loyalty.

    Stannis Baratheon: When Eddard Stark learnt the truth, he told only me. I'll not make the same mistake. Send copies of that letter to every corner of the realm, from the Arbor to the Wall. The time has come to choose. Let no man claim ignorance as an excuse.

    Ser Davos Seaworth: Your Grace, the Lannisters are the true enemy. If, for the time being, you could make peace with your brother...

    Stannis Baratheon: I'll not make peace with Renly while he calls himself king.

    Ser Davos Seaworth: But many have already declared for him. Mace Tyrell, Randyll Tarly...

    Melisandre: Stannis does not need to beg this lord or that lord for support, the Lord of Light stands behind him.

    Ser Davos Seaworth: And how many ships has the Lord of Light got in his fleet?

    Melisandre: He has no need for ships.

    Ser Davos Seaworth: I'm sure he doesn't, but we do if we're going to war. If not Renly, Your Grace, join forces with Robb Stark.

    Stannis Baratheon: Who'd steal the northern half of my kingdom. I've always served thieves according to their deserts, as you well know, Ser Davos. Joffrey, Renly, Robb Stark, they're all thieves. They'll bend the knee or I'll destroy them.

  • Melisandre: Lord of Light, come to us in our darkness. We offer you these false gods. Take them and cast your light upon us, for the night is dark and full or terrors. After the long summer, darkness will fall heavy on the world. The stars will bleed. The cold breath of winter will freeze the seas... and the dead shall rise in the North.
