- In the game of thrones, you may deceive, scheme, and betray, but I will not forsake my honor for a crown.
- When the snow falls and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives. Honor binds the pack.
- I do not rule with fear nor favor; the law is the law, and it will be served, not subverted.
- A lord’s true strength is his integrity; a castle can be rebuilt, but once honor is lost, the foundation crumbles.
- Every man’s life ends the same way; it is only the details of how he lived and how he maintained his honor that distinguish one man from another.
- The politics of the South are a mire of deceit; as the Hand, I found even the ground you stand on shifts beneath you.
- I served as Hand to protect the realm, but found a nest of vipers waiting, each whispering lies.
- As Hand, you wield immense power, but it’s like holding a wolf by the ears: you dare not let go.
- I was the Hand, but not the head; I could steer the ship, yet the winds of court intrigue blew stronger.
- The Hand must weigh every decision, knowing it’s the lives of millions, not just the desires of kings, that hang in the balance.
- The Starks have weathered many winters because our roots run deep, and our bonds of family run deeper still.
- My children are my greatest treasures; in them, I place my hopes, not just for succession, but for a legacy of righteousness.
- For the wolf blood runs in our family, and with it, a loyalty that is deeper than the snows of winter.
- In this house, we do not lie to one another, for trust is the mortar that holds the stones of Winterfell together.
- Each of my children bears the Stark name proudly, as they will bear its responsibilities and its burdens.
- I made a promise, and from that promise, I did not waver, not for fear nor favor.
- Some secrets are swords, and others are shields; Jon’s is both, and I will bear it for him.
- He may not carry my blood, but he is my son in all the ways that matter.
- A parent’s duty isn’t just to raise a child, but to protect them, even from truths that might harm them.
- Jon’s secret is a weight upon my heart, yet a burden I carry with honor, for love weighs heavier than truth.
- We fought not for the glory of kings, but for the hope of a realm freed from the tyranny of a mad king.
- In war, you learn the price of victory is paid in the coin of young men’s lives, and the cost is dear.
- Robert fought for the throne, I fought for the realm, and together we brought down dragons.
- Each battle left scars, seen and unseen, and from these scars, we tried to forge a peace.
- The war was called the War of the Usurper, but for many, it was simply the struggle to return home.
- The North does not forget, and the ice in our veins never melts; it remembers every sacrifice, every hardship.
- As the snow shields the dormant seed, so does the North remember its own, keeping the fires of our legacies alive through the coldest of winters.
- I led with the old ways, the honest ways, and trust that these roots hold firm in the frost, long after I am gone.
- Let the South weave their webs; the North remembers straightforward deeds and the stark truth.
- Our memories carve deeper than swords in the North; they are the bedrock on which we build our resilience.
- The Tower of Joy holds a sorrow that is as deep as its name is bitter; there were no victors, only shadows left to haunt those who survived.
- What happened at that tower changed the course of the Seven Kingdoms, all while the blue roses grew wild in the spring.
- I made a promise in the shadow of the tower, a promise that shaped the man I became.
- The echoes of the Tower of Joy are long and lingering; they whisper through our lives like the wind across the moors.
- At the Tower of Joy, I learned that joy can be a fleeting victory, quickly clouded by the costs it demands.
- Robert was more than a friend; he was a brother, our bonds forged in the fires of rebellion and war.
- I loved him like a brother, but even a king’s shadow can darken with the passage of time.
- We were young once, and the world was ours to mend or break; that bond, neither time nor throne could sever.
- Our friendship was a tapestry of war and peace; though threads may fray, the memories remain.
- As boys, we dreamed of changing the world; as men, we found the world would change us first.
- The direwolves came to us not just as pets but as reminders of the wild strength that lurks in the blood of every Stark.
- Like the direwolves, the Starks are fiercely loyal and fiercely protective; to threaten one is to provoke the pack.
- Each direwolf reflects the soul of the Stark child it accompanies, bound by a magic deeper than the ancient woods.
- The direwolves are more than beasts; they are symbols, stark reminders of the North’s untamed heart.
- In the eyes of these creatures, we see our true selves reflected back—wild, free, and unyielding.
- The heaviest burden was not the crown, but the decisions it compelled me to make.
- In every choice, be it small or grave, I sought to wield honor as my blade and truth as my shield.
- Dealing with the Lannisters was like walking on ice; one wrong step, and the truth could shatter beneath you.
- Ethics are easy to uphold when the sea is calm, but the true test comes when the storms rise.
- In the shadow of the Iron Throne, every decision weighs heavier, every secret darker, and every choice more consequential.
