After Story Five: Rivergard Feast

From Lord Emeryk Graben, to Lady Isalaine Graben

Dearest Mother-

I send you greetings from King's Landing. Please don't be too upset at me for not writing sooner. As you can imagine, helping Lord Renly's household get set up here is a full-time endeavor, and I'm forced to spend my time getting to know the city and those who live here over sitting in my cramped quarters writing letters.

I'll have to be brief. The city really is as wonderful as I've heard, and the Red Keep is even moreso. There is plenty to keep me busy here besides my duties - some of the best knights Westeros has to offer can be found here. I've had the pleasure of meeting Ser Barristan Selmy, who is the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard. And even at his age, I've watched him best six fine knights at once! He truly is a marvel. He also treats me kindly; the other knights say he has some left over affection for those of Valyrian blood. Whatever the cause, he is a good man and worthy knight.

Which brings me to a concern. Though father and Ser Ulwyck did their best, I do wish that they'd instilled in us a bit stronger affinity for the knightly traditions. I never thought they were terribly important (indeed, I remember being dismissive of Brice thinking of them as such), but now that I'm here, in the world, among others, I can see how naive that view was. You know I respect Ser Ulwyck's skill at arms and loyalty to father, but it might be time to start looking towards a master-at-arms who can train the boys of Marrowmont in skill at riding, mother, and at wielding the lance.

Those are my thoughts at the moment. Please forgive my brevity, and know that I love you. Give Minisa, Alysa and Lyle my love as well.

I remain,
Your Son,
Lord Emeryk Graben of Marrowmont

From Lord Garland Kraedmyr, to Lady Isalaine Graben

To the Lady Isalaine of House Graben,
Greetings.

I am writing to confirm the arrival of your party to Gryphmont mid-month. We always celebrate the Silver Festival at the height of the full moon, and with the knowledge it us upon us, I write to say that I hope that we can look forward to hosting you and your House among us as we celebrate. If there is anything we can do help facilitate your journey or stay here, please do not hesitate to ask.

From Lady Aldia Velt, to Lady Isalaine Graben

Blessed Lady Isalaine~

I shall be brief, as I know you are busy tending to the running of your household. While we were both deeply concerned about recent events which led to the severe injury of my son, Ser Quayle, he was very clear to write to us to tell us of the quick thinking and tremendous skill of your maester.

Please communicate to him our deepest thanks and affection, and know that should you, your House or your maester have aught of need from House Velt, it shall be yours, should it be within our power to do so. Your compassion did not just save a knight of Lord Swann's household, but the heir of Owlkeep as well. We do not forget such debts.

May the Seven keep you and yours,
Lady Aldia Velt
