Tenzinkendrick Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Many have suggested Brienne's land word was 'sword'. Here is another suggestion. First, tell me, what was the sword Brienne carried when Catelyn captured her? http://awoiaf.wester....php/Oathkeeper Oathkeeper. Observe the link for more information.Stoneheart knows that it was forged from Eddard's sword, and its name. Perhaps that name brings Catelyn to her senses, to an extent - realizing that Brienne has been keeping her oath to find Sansa?Or look at the Tully words. Family, duty, honor. Family before duty, duty before honor. And which comes first? Family. And whose family was Brienne trying to find? Catelyn's. This could also convince Stoneheart to come to her senses and spare Brienne, having grown up hearing those words and knowing what they mean.And please, no replies with 'she said saphires!'.

JesusFTW Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Brienne had already told Catelyn about oathkeeper hadn't she? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenzinkendrick Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 Brienne had already told Catelyn about oathkeeper hadn't she?She didn't. Catelyn just noticed she had the sword, and knew it was forged from her husband's weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

assjfjgjsgjljljglgjfjsduar Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 The word she spoke to get out of being hanged was "sword." And I'm not sure I can find it on here because the SSMs are a complete mess, but I'm also pretty certain GRRM confirmed as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yolkboy Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Just to slightly expand on what people have said.Brienne was given this choice....The sword or the noose, she says. Choose, she says. Choose.”Here is the ssm confirming she screamed 'sword', meaning she will fight for LSH rather than hang.http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/6425 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uptowngbv Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 How does Brienne referencing how her sword used to be part of Ned's convince LS of her innocence?"Sword!" means she's agreeing to kill Jaime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yolkboy Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 How does Brienne referencing how her sword used to be part of Ned's convince LS of her innocence?LS doesn't think she's innocent and perhaps doesn't care. She wants Brienne to fight for her cause, and/or deliver/kill Jaime.That's the only way Brienne is given the opportunity to prove her allegiance.“She says that you must prove your faith.”All she asks from you is Jaime Lannister.
