I’ve just read your excellent piece on the north, and i loved it. But i have a nitpick. You claim that Cragen’s actions in the hour of wolf are more practical than based on his honor, partly evidenced by the prdon of lord Corlys. But the Starks political philosophy suggests that Ned beliefs on this subject are the rule, and Cregan just manage to temper his honor based action with a touch of practicality. Furthermore, Corlys was an enemy of aegon ii, and that would weigh in his favour.
