ELLERYS

   Aboard the Seajester, one of his house’s merchant ships, docked at Heart’s Home, Ellerys Woodenshore ponders about the two-week delay of the silver shipment he must take to King’s Landing. He decides to travel to Moonwatch to find out what’s happened. After a five-day journey on horseback, the young lordling and two men-at-arms arrive at the Sylvers’ keep at evenfall. He soon meets with a slowly recuperating Rolland, who informs the newly-arrived noble about the events of the past few days. Both conclude that Ellerys’ presence might serve as boon to resolve the situation. By keeping it secret, they can use the Woodenshore as a neutral witness, in further attacks, to testimony that the brigands emerged from the Whispering Wood. Ellerys decides to stay at Moonwatch so as to be present during the next silver shipment.
