![]() Ned orders the tournament canceled, but quickly realizes his outburst is impolitic and begs the council's pardon. When the council gets down to the business of planning a tournament to honor Ned's appointment as Hand, he is shocked to learn that the crown is deeply in debt. Ned speaks gruffly with each of them - except for Renly, whom he embraces. Ned reaches the council chamber and is greeted by the group's members: Lord Varys, Master of Whisperers Lord Renly Baratheon, the king's brother and lord of Storm's End Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish, Master of Coin and Grand Maester Pycelle, an aged maester who's served King's Landing for decades. The two men exchange barbs, and then Jaime recounts the day that the Mad King Aerys murdered Ned's father and brother in the throne room. On his way through the Red Keep, Ned sees Ser Jaime Lannister standing by the Iron Throne. Lord Ned Stark arrives at King's Landing, and before he can shake off the dust of the road, his presence is requested by the Small Council.
