A Storm of Swords – Dornish Banners

Tyrion and company wait for the Dornish delegation to arrive in King’s Landing. To pass the time, he quizzes Podrick on their banners.

It was tricky to show the Dornish host. After all, if Bronn has to squint to see them, what luck will we have? To keep things interesting I threw in Gyles Rosby who was in the party. I think it’s because he seems to Cersei’s favorite punching bag later on that makes me like him.

Too many banners, he thought sourly, as he watched the ashes kick up under the hooves of the approaching horses, as they had beneath the hooves of the Tyrell van as it smashed Stannis in the flank. Martell’s brought half the lords of Dorne, by the look of it. He tried to think of some good that might come of that, and failed. “How many banners do you count?” he asked Bronn.
