Ser Roland Crakehall
A knight of the Kingsguard, sworn white cloak to King Daeron ÔÇö big, blunt, and bound by oath to stand wherever the blood royal points him, even in a trial of seven.
A soul born at Crakehall, sworn to The Kingsguard.
The fuller tale
How it ends for them
The chronicle records no death for this soul ÔÇö they are living when the tale leaves them, or their ending is a page the maesters have yet to turn.
Their chapters, book by book
Where the page and the screen part
Ser Roland CrakehallÔÇÖs casting, where announced, follows the novellaÔÇÖs brief but symbolically loaded treatment of him ÔÇö one of several white cloaks whose personal reluctance the trial forces into the background of a larger obligation.
Their journey
Where the two tellings send them to the same place the road runs whole; where they part, the screen keeps the left and the books the right.
