Maester Wolkan wiped the sweat from his brows and continued with his explanation, "Almost every Lord Stark since the Conquest had been saving up at twenty to forty thousand golden dragons or the silver equivalent per year. Even those that were more generous with their spending managed to leave the treasury fuller than they found it after they passed away. Before the death of Lord Eddard, House Stark had gone to war only five times in three hundred years. Combined with whatever they had before the Conquest, the wealth in Winterfell's coffers steadily increased as the years passed by." The maester finally finished tiredly. Jon realised that the old man had been working on the wounded ever since the battle was finished.
