Made this to recap my basic armour-parts knowledge. And as an excuse to stare at pron. I learned that the famously dented piece of armour of his is a spaulder, not a pauldron. (Pauldron would cover the armpit and larger part of the shoulder in the front and back.) Also, he has a katar here, which seems to be a great weapon for people who literally like to get their hands dirty and bathe their knuckles in blood and gore when killing someone. ((I don’t understand why he doesn’t wear better armour, though (a plate gorget and a breastplate would be nice, for example. And a helmet.).))

“I was younger than you, six, maybe seven. A woodcarver set up shop in the village under my father’s keep, and to buy favor he sent us gifts. The old man made marvelous toys. I don’t remember what I got, but it was Gregor’s gift I wanted. A wooden knight, all painted up, every joint pegged separate and fixed with strings, so you could make him fight. Gregor is five years older than me, the toy was nothing to him, he was already a squire, near six foot tall and muscled like an ox. So I took his knight, but there was no joy to it, I tell you. I was scared all the while, and true enough, he found me. There was a brazier in the room. Gregor never said a word, just picked me up under his arm and shoved the side of my face down in the burning coals and held me there while I screamed and screamed. “
