OOC: Do the Lannisters have Arya in their control at present?

I think the two routes would take roughly the same amount of time, but why is everyone arguing about how long it would take Robb to go southwest when he's going to head southeast?

If we do we would be parading her around and telling the starks to attend court or she dies, if we dont we would be keeping quiet about it.
Which do you think?

I wonder where Jyane Poole has disappeared to.

Huh, I had forgotten about her, she didnt seem important enough to bother with, I suppose if she didnt go with Sansa she's still in KL somewhere.
I wonder where Beric dondarrion went, he was supposedly on the way to take Gregor Clegane's head yet I didn't get any messages about it.

The more I look at it, the more it seems apparent to me that you need Dragons to hold the Iron throne and the Seven kingdoms together. That's where the Strong centralized authority comes from, because when all else fails "unleash the dragon" and that fear keeps the nobles in line.

Without them though....

If that was true Robert's reign should have been one long disaster.

...and it wasn't? I can't recall the exact Crown debt at the start of GoT, but it was a lot (note to claimants: you'll be assuming this if you take the throne). And then there's the fact that the court at King's Landing became full of sometimes murderous intrigue, with Houses like Dorne plotting rebellion to top it all off.
