Game of Thrones Guide Walkthrough Chapter 9: Promise
Chapter 9: Promise - Castlewood
Castlewood
Introduce Yourself To Arwood Harlton, Lord Of Castlewood
Objective Point A
You arrive at Castlewood, stronghold of House Harlton. Follow Endrew through the beautiful courtyard to the castle’s main gate.
Objective Point B
Proceed straight ahead into the throne room. Lord Harlton will greet you with his chief lieutenants. He welcomes you and offers his maester to assist Jeyne and her baby. If you want to escort Jeyne to the maester, you can; simply return to the throne room after you drop her off.
Harlton quizzes you on your past, and you speak about the war 15 years ago. He praises you as a worthy soldier and invites you to discuss more politics over dinner.
Go Find Jeyne In Maester Martin’s Chambers
Objective Point C
Go see how Jeyne is doing with Maester Martin. All is well. Once you’ve finished exploring around the castle, speak with Jeyne and tell her that Lord Harlton has prepared a dinner for you both.
Meet Lord Harlton For Dinner
Objective Point D
Attend the dinner with Lord Harlton to see what his plans are for you and Jeyne. He reveals that he’s been planning this moment for a long time. Harlton knew about Jeyne’s Targaryen bloodline and was the one who arranged to have the king meet her in a “chance encounter” so that he could join Targaryen and Baratheon as one with Jeyne’s child. He wants to raise that child as the heir apparent for the Iron Throne.
Jeyne wants no part of Harlton’s scheme. She just wants to live somewhere quiet with her child and not have to worry about the mad political games for the throne. You want to help Jeyne, but Harlton has poisoned you. Even as you yell for her to flee, the poison weakens your every move.
Book Watch: The Targaryen Bloodline
Jeyne Greystone mirrors a main character from the A Game of Thrones novel: Daenerys Targaryen. Like Jeyne, fair-haired Daenerys is also a daughter of King Aerys II, the last Targaryen king to rule the Seven Kingdoms, and is on the run from the Crown. Daenerys’s troubles take her across the sea to the free city of Pentos, where she eventually marries a powerful lord of the Dothraki people, Khal Drogo.
Confront Lord Harlton’s Guard
Objective Point E
Harlton summons his guards, and you have a huge battle on your hands. The poison makes those hands tremble, and you have very little time before the poison takes effect. Fight as long as you can, but no matter what you do—even if you defeat all the guards—you fall to the poison and Harlton captures Jeyne.
