aemond is itching to spill blood, but it is too soon. the castle itself is foe enough, if the stories are to be believed; it would serve him not to make any more enemies, if it can be helped. he puts little value on superstition, but harrenhal is built to disorient outsiders. he’d left ser criston with the responsibility of securing the remaining strongs and their staff while he and several of his more astute men search the castle for remnants of daemon’s army. in truth, aemond does not know how far he is from the main hall; twice he has tried to return, only to uncover new corridors just when he think he has found his way.
