IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS SOME VERSION OF COMMUNICATION, AKIN TO MESSAGES RECEIVED VIA RAVEN. I CANNOT YET UNDERSTAND HOW SUCH THINGS ARE POSSIBLE, NOR CAN I UNDERSTAND HOW I AM EXPECTED TO SO ACCURATELY PRESS MY FINGERS TO SUCH PAINFULLY SMALL LETTERS ON THIS THING CALLED A "KEY BOARD."

[Ned is part of the Old Dads club; he has accidentally turned on his caps lock and has absolutely no idea how to turn it off, nor does he have any social precedent for understanding how hostile this makes him look.]

I AM TOLD THAT I AM IN A CITY CALLED WYVER, A NAME AS FOREIGN TO ME AS THE REST OF THIS IS. THE LOCALS HERE ARE NOT INCREDIBLY FORTHCOMING WITH ASSISTANCE OR INFORMATION, AND AS SUCH, ANYTHING THAT YOU MIGHT OFFER WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

THANK YOU FOR WHATEVER YOU MIGHT PROVIDE.

-- EDDARD STARK, LORD OF WINTERFELL, WARDEN OF THE NORTH, HAND OF THE KING

Colder? Then you will be wanting Olympia and perhaps even further to the North. I'm sure there are even colder places the further north you get. Perhaps if you travel, you'll find a place you like enough to call your home.

[ tbh, that sounds like the life. He gets a taste of it every year with Torb's family. No longer, he supposes. ]

I suppose I am, though generally, I just go by Reinhardt. There was really only one person who called me Wilhelm, and no one called me Sir. A knight is not his title, after all. He is his deeds!

-- Reinhardt Wilhelm, lieutenant. Knight of Germany, Last of the Crusaders

THERE WILL BE NO PLACE HERE THAT COULD REPLACE WINTERFELL, I'M AFRAID, BUT I SUPPOSE I COULD ATTEMPT TO FIND A SUBPAR SUBSTITUTE, TEMPORARY OR NOT.

INDEED, AND SPOKEN LIKE A KNIGHT TRULY WORTHY OF THE USE OF SER, IF YOU'LL ALLOW IT. THOUGH I WILL, OF COURSE, CALL YOU THAT WHICH YOU PREFER.

-- LORD EDDARD STARK, LORD OF WINTERFELL, WARDEN OF THE NORTH, HAND OF THE KING

Understandable. I hope you'll at least find yourself somewhere you can be at least comfortable.

You honor me, Lord Stark. And it would be an honor to be called Ser by you. So I will accept it.

-- Ser Reinhardt Wilhelm, lieutenant. Knight of Germany, Last of the Crusaders

IT SEEMS THE MEMBERS OF MY FAMILY THAT HAVE PRECEDED ME HAVE ALREADY SECURED A HOME, IN OLYMPIA, I BELIEVE. I HAVE NOT YET MADE MY WAY TO IT.

I WOULD NOT HONOR A MAN WHO HADN'T EARNED IT, SER WILHELM.

-- LORD EDDARD STARK, LORD OF WINTERFELL, WARDEN OF THE NORTH, HAND OF THE KING

Olympia? I see. Well, I hope you can go and meet with them soon. I wouldn't presume to think that once they know you are here, that they won't come find you and take you home where you belong. But should you need someone to watch your back if you decide to travel to them instead, I wouldn't mind accompanying you.

-- Ser Reinhardt Wilhelm, lieutenant. Knight of Germany, Last of the Crusaders

YOU FLATTER AND HONOR ME WITH YOUR OFFER, SER WILHELM. I DON'T BELIEVE THERE IS A PROPER WAY FOR ME TO CONVEY THIS, BUT PLEASE BE ASSURED THE FEELING IS TRUE.

ONE OF MY SONS IS CURRENTLY ATTEMPTING TO LOCATE ME, BUT SHOULD I REQUIRE ASSISTANCE, I WILL PROUDLY AND GLADLY CALL UPON A MAN AS SELFLESS AS YOU. AND IF YOU SHOULD REQUIRE ANYTHING OF ME IN FUTURE, YOU ONLY NEED TO ASK, AND IT WILL BE YOURS.

MIGHT I ASK YOU A QUESTION, WHILE I WAIT FOR MY SON TO FIND ME?

-- LORD EDDARD STARK, LORD OF WINTERFELL, WARDEN OF THE NORTH, HAND OF THE KING

I believe you.

I will remember this offer, Lord Stark, and I will hope that your son gets to you soon.

Please, feel free to ask my anything. If I have the answer, you will have it, my lord.

-- Ser Reinhardt Wilhelm, lieutenant. Knight of Germany, Last of the Crusaders

YOUR SIGNATURE SUGGESTS A LAND CALLED .. GERMANY. OR PERHAPS A CITY.

WAS IT VERY DIFFERENT FROM HERE? I FIND MYSELF .. OUT OF MY DEPTHS, IN A LAND SO ADVANCED AS THIS.

-- LORD EDDARD STARK, LORD OF WINTERFELL, WARDEN OF THE NORTH, HAND OF THE KING

Ahh. Yes. Germany is a country in my world. It's where I am from. It would be like if I was in your world and I called myself a Knight of Winterfell.

However, my world is actually far more advanced than this one. We have this sort of technology and then some. For example, my shield is made out of something we call Hard Light and we have...horseless carriages that float off the ground. If anything, this world is a step back for me. However, we do not have magic at all. In my world, such a thing doesn't exist.

But I think you'll adapt, my lord. You'll learn and perhaps outpace even those of us for whom this sort of thing is second nature.

-- Ser Reinhardt Wilhelm, lieutenant. Knight of Germany, Last of the Crusaders

YOU FLATTER ME, TRULY. I FEAR I'VE REACH AN AGE TOO ADVANCED TO OUTPACE ANYONE.

THANK YOU, HOWEVER, FOR SPEAKING SO CANDIDLY ABOUT YOUR HOME AND SOME OF ITS ATTRIBUTES.

-- LORD EDDARD STARK, LORD OF WINTERFELL, WARDEN OF THE NORTH, HAND OF THE KING

Lord Stark, forgive me for my candor, but I must ask this. How old are you?

I only ask because I am 61 years of age.

Every single day I am here, I learn something new. You are never too old to learn and never too old to put those lessons into practice until you have mastered them. If you are old as I am, then you already know we have something younger generations might not possess. And that is the wisdom to learn from our weaknesses and the patience to slowly make them our strengths.

I have faith in you, Lord Eddard Stark of Winterfell. You will master this world. It will not defeat you with it's modern ways. You will adapt and you will overcome. That is what I believe.

-- Ser Reinhardt Wilhelm, lieutenant. Knight of Germany, Last of the Crusaders

THERE IS SOMETHING TO BE SAID FOR CANDOR; THERE IS NOTHING FOR WHICH TO APOLOGIZE, SER WILHELM.

I HAVE HAD 36 NAME DAYS IN MY LIFE, THOUGH WAR AND HARDSHIP HAVE AGED ME WELL BEYOND, I'M AFRAID. I DOUBT THERE IS ANYONE, IN THIS WORLD OR THE LAST, WHO'D HAVE ASCRIBED ME SUCH AN AGE. BUT THOSE HARDSHIPS HAVE INDEED PROVIDED ME WISDO THAT I'D NOT HAVE LEARNT ANY OTHER WAY, AND IT IS BEST TO LEARN THEM EARLY THAN TOO LATE.

YOUR CONFIDENCE IN ME IS OVERWHELMINGLY UNDESERVED, SER WILHELM, BUT I WILL CHERISH IT FOR ALL OF MY DAYS HERE. AND I WILL REMEMBER IT, WHENEVER I MIGHT OTHERWISE FEEL DEFEATED. I DON'T THINK A SIMPLE 'THANK YOU' WILL SUFFCE HERE, BUT PLEASE KNOW IT IS TRULY AND UTTERLY HEARTFELT.

-- LORD EDDARD STARK, LORD OF WINTERFELL, WARDEN OF THE NORTH, HAND OF THE KING

There is a saying in my world that was old when I was still young. That it it not the years, it is the mileage. You and I both have had many hard journeys and I am certain that won't change here. But know you have an ally in me and should you ever need the reminder that there is a man twice your age that believes you can do anything, you need only give me a call.

And you are very welcome, my friend. Any time.

-- Ser Reinhardt Wilhelm, lieutenant. Knight of Germany, Last of the Crusaders
