The Iron Captain, Victarion Greyjoy, returns to the Iron Islands for the kingsmoot. He reunites with family, some welcomed others not so much. One thing’s for certain, nobody’s backing down on their claim to the vacant Seastone Chair. Simon and Mackelly hope for a peaceful transition of power.

Chapter Review:
Victarion Greyjoy sails the Iron Fleet into Old Wyk for the kingsmoot. In the bay, he spies his older brother Euron Greyjoy’s ship Silence. Victarion is welcomed back to the Iron Islands by his younger brother Aeron Damphair. Both agree Euron is the wrong man to succeed their dead oldest brother Balon as the king of the Iron Islands.

That night at a feast, Victarion finds his niece Asha Greyjoy. They trade friendly banter before a silence fills the room. Euron and his cronies have entered the tent. Aeron tries to discredit Euron but is quickly stymied and leaves in frustration. Next Asha takes her turn confronting her uncle Euron. They go back and forth at each other in a much less friendly manner than she and Victarion, before Victarion commands an end to it. Victarion and Euron exchange words and agree that all will be settled when the votes are cast.

After Euron and his men leave, Asha and Victarion take a walk. Asha admits that she can’t win the Seastone Chair and offers to back Victarion, if he’ll agree to accept her as his Hand. Victarion can’t find his way to consider her offer. However, he shares the secret of the correlation between Euron’s banishment and Victarion’s dead wife. She tells Victarion he’s left her no choice, she will put herself forth as the queen of the Iron Islands. Victarion says it’s her breath to waste.
