Day 2 - Veils of Destiny
“Promise me, Ned”// “…Westeros must unite beneath her one true king, the Prince that was promised…”
Ned sure did promise about that Prince child of ambiguous legitimacy, huh?

My lady?" Ned looked embarrassed. "I'm Edric Dayne, the... Lord of Starfall."
Behind them, Gendry groaned. "Lords and ladies", he proclaimed in a disgusted tone. Arya plucked a withered crabapple off a passing branch and whipped it at him, bouncing it off his thick bull head. "Ow," he said "that hurt." He felt thebskin above his eye. "What kind of lady throws crabapples at people?"
"The bad kind," said Arya, suddenly contrite. She turned back to Ned "I'm sorry I didn't know who you were. My lord."
"The fault is mine, my lady." he was very polite.

A Game of Thrones, Catelyn II
Ned would not speak of the mother, not so much as a word.
But a castle has no secrets, and Catelyn heard her maids repeating tales they heard from the lips of her husband’s soldiers.
They whispered of Ser Arthur Dayne, the Sword of the Morning, deadliest of the seven knights of Aerys’s Kingsguard, and of how their young lord had slain him in single combat.
And they told how afterward Ned had carried Ser Arthur’s sword back to the beautiful young sister who awaited him in the castle called Starfall on the shores of the Summer Sea.
The Lady Ashara Dayne, tall and fair, with haunting violet eyes.
It had taken her a fortnight to marshal her courage, but finally, in bed one night, Catelyn had asked her husband the truth of it, asked him to his face.
That was the only time in all their years that Ned had ever frightened her. “Never ask me about Jon,” he said, cold as ice. “He is my blood, and that is all you need to know.
“And now I will learn where you heard that name, my lady.” She had pledged to obey; she told him, and from that day on, the whispering had stopped, and Ashara Dayne’s name was never heard in Winterfell again.

"My House goes back ten thousand years, unto the dawn of days," he complained. "Why is it that my cousin is the only Dayne that anyone remembers?"
"He was a great knight," Ser Arys Oakheart put in.
"He had a great sword," Darkstar said.
“And a great heart.” Ser Arys took Arianne by the arm.
