AGOT 29 Catelyn V: When Catelyn asks “How fares your good lord, sers,” The captain of the Frey soldiers at the inn at the crossroads says “Lord Walder is well, my lady. He plans to take a new wife on his ninetieth name day, and has asked your lord father to honor the wedding with his presence.”
AGOT 32 Tyrion IV: The Freys do not stand for Catelyn. “Only two of the Freys had stirred, Tyrion noted, and they'd sat back down quick enough when their captain failed to move.” Tyrion even expects Lord Walder to send a raven to King's Landing “and he might well dare more than that.”
AGOT 54 Bran VI: Robb tells Bran “Lord Cerwyn means to take his daughter south with us. To cook for him, he says. Theon is certain I'll find the girl in my bedroll one night.”
AGOT 60 Catelyn IX: “You must not do this, my lord,' Galbart Glover pleaded with Robb. 'Lord Walder is not to be trusted.' Roose Bolton nodded. 'Go in there alone and you're his. He can sell you to the Lannisters, throw you in a dungeon, or slit your throat, as he likes.” 643-644
ACOK 5 Bran I: Lord of the Crossing rules explained. “The lord got to knock anyone in the water anytime he pleased...”
ACOK 9 Tyrion II: Tyrion uses a dinner to ambush Janos Slynt and send him to the Wall
ACOK 24 Jon III: Gilly explains the limitations of guest right. When Jon tells Gilly one reason he can't marry her is that “And we're guests in your father's hall besides.” “Not you,” she said. “I watched. You never ate at his board, nor slept by his fire. He never gave you guestright, so you're not bound to him.”
ACOK 49 Daenerys IV: Dany's vision in the House of Undying. “Farther she came upon a feast of corpses. Savagely slaughtered, the feasters lay strewn across overturned chairs and hacked trestle tables, asprawl in pools of congealing blood. Some had lost limb, even heads. Severed hands clutched bloody cups, wooden spoons, roast fowl, heels of bread. In a throne above them sat a dead man with the head of a wolf. He wore an iron crown and held a leg of lamb in one hand as a king might hold a scepter, and his eyes followed Dany with mute appeal.”
ACOK 55 Tyrion XII: Cersei uses a dinner to ambush Tyrion and tell him she has Alayaya to hold hostage against Joffrey's safety.
ACOK 57 Theon V: Theon's nightmare. “Along the walls figures half-seen moved through the shadows, pale shades with long grim faces. The sight of them sent fear shivering through Theon sharp as a knife. And then the tall doors opened with a crash, and a freezing gale blew down the hall, and Robb came walking out of the night. Grey Wind stalked beside, eyes burning, and man and wolf alike bled from half a hundred savage wounds.”
ASOS 8 Jon I: Mance Rayder says he was protected by guest right in the Great Hall of Winterfell. “Your father would have had my head off.” The king gave a shrug. “Though once I'd eaten at his board I was protected by guest right. The laws of hospitality are as old as the First Men, and sacred as the heart tree.” He gestured at the board between them, the broken bread and chicken bones. “Here you are the guest, and safe from harm at my hands...this night at least.”
ASOS 5 Tyrion I: Tywin tells Tyrion “Some battles are won with swords and spears, others with quills and ravens.”
ASOS 11 Davos II: Patchface's song. “When the fool saw Davos, he jerked to a sudden halt, the bells on his antlered tin helmet going ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling. Hopping from one foot to the other, he sang, “Fool's blood, king's blood, blood on the maiden's thigh, but chains for the guests and chains for the bridegroom, aye aye aye.”
ASOS 20 Tyrion III: Tyrion is stunned the Westerlings would defy Tywin.
“The Crag is not so far from Tarbeck Hall and Castamere,” Tyrion pointed out. “You'd think the Westerlings might have ridden past and seen the lesson there.”
“Mayhaps they have,” Lord Tywin said. “They are well aware of Castamere, I promise you.”
“Could the Westerlings and Spicers be such great fools as to believe the wolf can defeat the lion?”
Every once in a very long while, Lord Tywin Lannister would actually threaten to smile; he never did, but the threat alone was terrible to behold. “The greatest fools are ofttimes more clever than the men who laugh at them,” he said, and then, “You will marry Sansa Stark, Tyrion. And soon.”
ASOS 21 Catelyn III: Tion's death by multiple cuts & stabbings. “By the look of him, he (Willem Lannister) had died peacefully, perhaps in his sleep, but his brown-haired cousin (Tion Frey) had fought for life. His arms bore slashes where he'd tried to block the blades, and red still trickled slowly from the stab wounds that covered his chest and belly and back like so many tongueless mouths, though the rain had washed him almost clean.” Walder Frey has not responded to Robb's new offer.
24 Daenerys II: ““May,” said Dany. That was such a slippery word, may. In any language.”
25 Bran II: In the story of the Knight of the Laughing Tree, the little crannogman has to sneak past the Twins at night and one of the bullying squires was of the twin towers
29 Sansa III: Sansa is aware of being wed for her claim to Winterfell, one that only figures if Robb dies without issue.
32 Jaime IV: Aenys Frey tells Brienne Robb betrayed the Freys
33 Tyrion IV: Tywin says Sansa will be heir to Winterfell after Robb is dead
34 Samwell II: Mormont cries out at the breaking of guest right
36 Catelyn IV: Catelyn begs Robb to bend the knee to the Lannisters. Robb says “I am not dead yet, Mother.” Catelyn feels dread.
37 Davos IV: Melisandre's leech burning names Robb, Joffrey & Balon.
38 Jaime V: Jaime asks “How does Lord Walder relish dining on trout in place of wolf?”
40 Arya VII: Tom o' Sevens sings “The Rains of Castamere” in a medley of rain songs.
41 Bran III: “The tower stood upon an island, its twin reflected on the still blue waters.”
44 Arya VIII: The ghost of High Heart says to take Arya to the Twins instead of Riverrun because of the wedding. Shares red wedding dreams.
46 Catelyn V: A detour makes Catelyn worry Frey will see their late arrival as a deliberate insult.
48 Arya IX: The Hound reveals to Arya that they're on their way to the Twins to ransom at her uncle's “bloody wedding.”
51 Arya X: The music in the castles is reminiscent of the Ghost at High Heart's dream. The Green Fork is described as “growling like a lion in its den.”
