It was to those deep chambers that the Reynes
retreated now. Feverish and weak from loss of
blood, the Red Lion was in no fit state to lead.
Ser Reynard, his brother, assumed command in
his stead. Less headstrong but more cunning
than his brother, Reynard knew he did not have
the men to defend the castle walls, so he
abandoned the surface entirely to the foe and
fell back beneath the earth. Once all his folk
were safe inside the tunnels, Ser Reynard sent
word to Ser Tywin above, offering terms. But
Tywin Lannister did not honor Ser Reynard’s
offer with a reply. Instead he commanded that
the mines be sealed. With pick and axe and
torch, his own miners brought down tons of
stone and soil, burying the great gates to the
mines until there was no way in and no way out.
Once that was done, he turned his attention to
the small, swift stream that fed the crystalline
blue pool beside the castle from which
Castamere took its name. It took less than a day
to dam the stream and only two to divert it to
the nearest mine entrance.
