Episode 6 called Small Folk begins with an expected change to the opening credits.

We're going to do a full breakdown of the intro after the season, pointing out all the changes and what they mean,

but for now it's worth pointing out that Rooks Rest has been added and the red blood trail has turned black, the color of dragon blood.

Aeman's recent stoicism is replaced by rage and as his mother tells him he's becoming arrogant.

He doesn't listen to his counselors and appears to view disagreement as disloyalty.

Leading the greens with a green dragon and red flags and red banners.

The Lannister has arrived at the golden tooth with 8,000 men and lions in cages?

Yep. And we hear a variation on the reins of Castamir. The actual reigns of Castamir are

probably present as well since Taiwan hasn't been yet born to wipe them out.

Aymand is glad to have them all as allies but mad when they ask him for an escort.

His plan is to hit Heron Hall from the east and West simultaneously and take on Damon personally.

Meanwhile, we know the Northern Army is on the march and has been granted passage at the Twins as they head towards River Run,

which the Western Army will have to pass if they want to get to Heron Hall.

So a showdown between the Lannister Host and the hosts of the Riverlands and the North could be imminent.

But the Riverlands is still in disarray.

Elsewhere, Orwell mentions that the Highower armies have been delayed thanks to their own bannermen attacking them. House Beesbury, who are high tower vassals, blame the Greens for the death of Lord Lyman, the old master of coin, Kristen Cole, killed back in episode 9.

Fair point, Beesberries.

Aeman's calm demeanor returns in time for him to fire his mother and recall his grandfather Otto,

because as he says says every king needs a hand.

But Aymund is not the king and no one actually seems to know where Otto is.

Hearing that Eggon is awake and improving, Aymand goes to visit him aggressively.

He interrogates him about Rook's rest, mostly to see if he remembers Vegar nearly incinerating him?
