Season 4
Tywin oversees the reforging of Ice, House Stark's ancestral Valyrian steel sword, into two new ones. One is for Jaime, who grieves the loss of his sword hand and Cersei's love, and the other is a wedding present for King Joffrey, which he names Widow's Wail. Prince Oberyn Martell, on behalf of his brother, Prince Doran of Dorne, arrives in King's Landing with his paramour, Ellaria Sand, to attend the royal wedding and is welcomed by Tyrion. Oberyn seeks revenge against the Lannisters and Gregor Clegane for the rape and murder his sister, Elia, wife of the unfaithful Prince Rhaegar Targaryen. In the North, while Styr and the cannibalistic Thenns reinforce Tormund, Ygritte and the other Wildlings, Jon is released by Maester Aemon after confessing his actions while with the Wildlings to gain the information that their army of 100,000 plans to attack Castle Black. In the Riverlands, Arya and the Hound reclaim her sword, Needle, from Polliver, killing him. In Essos, Daenerys marches her army towards Meereen, the last of the three great slave cities; she fears she is losing control over her growing dragons, now horse-sizes.
