A grand tourney was held by Lord Walter Whent at Harrenhal. Many nobles from all over the Seven Kingdoms came to the riverlands to take part in the festivities. Amongst them were the heir to Winterfell, Brandon Stark, and his younger siblings, Eddard, Lyanna and Benjen.

The most prominent visitor of the tourney was King Aerys II Targaryen, however. Aerys had not left the Red Keep for many years, ever since his half-year capture during the Defiance of Duskendale in 277 AC, but he was inspired to come to the tourney by words from his master of whisperers, the eunuch Varys.

The tourney was cause for great celebration, as spring had come to Westeros, or so men thought. In addition, all of the Kingsguard had gathered to welcome their newest member, Ser Jaime Lannister. However, the tourney's ending was less joyful. After winning the final tilt, Prince Rhaegar Targaryen was to crown the new queen of love and beauty. Instead of crowning his wife, the Dornish princess Elia Martell, Rhaegar rode past her and crowned Lyanna Stark of Winterfell instead. It was not long after this that Lyanna Stark was abducted Rhaegar Targaryen near Harrenhal. 

Brandon Stark, along with his companions, rode to King's Landing to demand Lyanna back. Of course, Rhaegar was not present. Despite this, he and his men stood outside of the gates of the Red Keep all the same. It was then King Aerys II had them all arrested for plotting the murder of the crown prince. Lord Rickard Stark and two hundred men then rode to King's Landing, demanding a trial by combat. None of them ever returned. Jon Arryn has already raised his banners in war, and people have begun to choose sides in the conflict. 

Who will you side with? Who will you become? Who will live, and who will die? Finally, who will take the iron throne once the dust has settled?
