Brynden sighed tiredly. The king had no connection to House Tully and the Riverlands like Robb did. Knowing Catelyn, she had been very cold to him during his childhood. Jon Stark scarcely had any reason to care about the future of the Riverlands, especially when it was so open to attacks from every side. While the king could probably easily defeat every army on the Trident with the help of his dragons, House Tully had nothing meaningful to offer in return. And history had shown that while you could win battles or even take castles with the help of dragons, you could not hold land with them. Jon Stark had no real claim on the Riverlands, and he would not bother going south when he could simply sit in the North and let all of his enemies die in the swamps of the Neck or in front of Moat Cailin. The Blackfish couldn't help but grudgingly admit to himself that this was the most logical decision.
