Chapter Fifty-Six - Tyrion 7 - A Game of Thrones | A Song of Ice and Fire - a podcast by A Game of Thrones
from 2020-09-21T00:00
Tyrion and Co finally get back to the Inn at the Crossroads where he and his new entourage receive a frosty welcome from his father. The war is going well, but Tywin still volunteers Tyrion to fight with his new Mountain Clan regiment. The boys’ impression of Lannister Senior, is not exactly re-calibrated.
Chapter Review:
The march down the mountain road comes to an end at a Lannister barricade. They're naturally leery of the 300 mountain clansmen, but Tyrion is recognized and welcomed. He and the clan chiefs make their way through the miles of troops to the Inn at the Crossroads.
While the chiefs are fed and watered, Tyrion visits with his father Tywin and Uncle Kevan. Kevan seems pleased to see his nephew, but the reception from his dad is more frosty. They provide him with an update on the state of the war (going great) and charge him with dealing with the meddlesome group including Beric Dondarrion and Thoros of Myr, who, slightly off original mission, continue to harry Tywin’s southern flank.
The chiefs enter uninvited and Tywin pivots to put these fearsome fighters at the vanguard of his troops for the march north along the Kingsroad to engage Robb Stark’s army who are reportedly heading south. They agree but insist that Tyrion fights with them. Tywin’s fine with that.
