Asha Greyjoy learns that Theon lives, that previous kingsmoots have been contested, that Tris Botley is not interested in a thruple, and that where there’s five northmen there’s probably 3000. Simon and Mackelly wish that our favorite Kraken could find happiness.

Chapter Review:
At Deepwood Motte, Asha receives a letter from Ramsay Bolton written in ironborn blood, that includes a party-favor of some of Theon’s skin. She had thought her brother dead. She has sex with Qarl the Maid. While he sleeps she gets a snack and meets her other love interest Tris Botley.

They speak of future plans but she’s dismissive and quite cruel. He reminds her of a historical kingsmoot that was overturned when the heir-apparent was not invited. A lightbulb goes off, but is immediately forgotten when war-horns sound. The northern clans have come. Her ironborn make for their longships, but the woods and the dark confound them.

The battle is brutal and protracted and Asha eventually succumbs to a Northern axe, but as he loses consciousness she hears trumpets and sees a fiery stag.
