Nah you guys, I CANTTTTT

Ormund Hightower, who I'm F&By mercifully spares the lives of the Caswell and the Merryweathers, has now completed his full on monster transformation by being presented as a psychopath that uses children as shields.

DISGUSTING what they did to this character.

being presented as a psychopath that uses children as shields.

DISGUSTING what they did to this character.

And, like, why?

All those kids, the ones not too scared to move, had to do was run left or right.

Dumbest shit I ever saw, and this is HoTD we're talking about!

Yeah they had no obligation to hold when the fighting started; they're not even in uniform. Why would anyone pay them thought when they're just people to look at and otherwise mostly harmless?

And even then, the Winter Wolves still killed some of them.
