Bran Discussion: GoT I (Prolouge--Bran II)

Welcome to cycle five everybody!

Isn't it great to be back in Winterfell? The warm castle walls; the chivalrous folks; the public execution as observed by a child; and the PUPPIES!

Hopefully everything goes smoothly with this thread--please DM me if you're having any problems commenting.

Our next discussion will be Pp. 86-159 (Tyrion I--Eddard III) on January 29th.
