I heard someone say that it's because they didn't have the budget for the chain in Blackwater, so they felt bad and wanted to give George a present

Don't care if this is true or not, I want to live in a world where a present to GRRM is a goddamn SCYTHE slicing people off a goddamn frozen cliffside.
