After waking in the body of Davion Whent, the injured lord of Harrenhal, Davion realized he had entered the world of Game of Thrones and gained Dragon Knight's powers. As his Dragon Blood accelerated his recovery, he remained in danger from the treacherous steward Wes.

Davion found that Wes had embezzled a large sum and prepared to leave Harrenhal, despite his poor equipment and Vereword and Pia’s concerns. He claimed he only planned to practice fighting and buy grain, but Vereword remained suspicious and insisted on accompanying him if he sought revenge on House Vance.

• Pia brought Davion breakfast and told him she had found seventy-nine Gold Dragons and eighty-two Silver Stags hidden in Wes's room.
• Davion suspected Wes had another source of income, then went to the ruined armory and gathered a sword, a shield, and a mail shirt.

• Davion told them he was only going to practice fighting and buy grain, and Vereword insisted on accompanying him if he went to take revenge.

Davion Whent went to Grey Stone Keep to demand repayment of House Vance’s loan and unpaid tribute, while Raymond Vance and his sons had believed Davion would die from his injuries. Elton mocked the debt demand and refused to pay, giving Davion the opening he wanted to take action.

• At lunch, Raymond Vance and Elton discussed a report claiming Davion would soon die, and Raymond ordered them to prepare to take over land leased to House Vance.
• Kalen Vance warned that Davion’s death and the seizure of his land could harm their family, but Raymond and Elton dismissed his concerns.
• A guard announced that Earl Whent had arrived, surprising Raymond and Elton; Elton then hurried to the gate after accusing Wes of lying about Davion’s condition.

• Davion demanded repayment of House Vance’s hundred-Gold-Dragon loan, interest, and two thousand Gold Dragons in unpaid tribute, giving them one hour to pay.
• Elton laughed at Davion’s demand, and Davion declared that he could finally take action.

• Davion killed one guard with his longsword and smashed another with his shield, terrifying Elton.
• Davion pinned Elton down, stabbed him in both shoulders and legs, and waited outside Grey Stone Keep.

• Davion demanded that Raymond raise the money owed and cut Elton’s neck to press him, but Raymond ordered his guards to seize Davion and said he would take him to Riverrun.

• Davion took Raymond’s sword and scabbard, then spotted Kalen watching from Grey Stone Keep’s wall.
• Davion beckoned Kalen down, and Kalen came to him as Davion considered a new plan.

Kalen swore House Vance’s allegiance to Davion, hoping to become its lord, and offered his sister to secure Davion’s support. Davion accepted the oath but demanded warhorses and gold, leaving Kalen to prepare both under a half-hour deadline.

• Kalen distanced himself from Raymond and pledged that House Vance would serve House Whent, prompting Raymond to protest that Kalen could not inherit Grey Stone Keep.
• Kalen offered his twelve-year-old sister to Davion, who refused to take her to bed and instead said she could serve as a maid at Harrenhal.
• Davion ordered Kalen to provide an eight-horse warhorse carriage and five thousand gold dragons.
• Davion told Kalen he trusted neither oaths nor loyalty and treated money as a safer bond, leaving Kalen stunned by how badly he had misjudged him.
• Davion gave Kalen half an hour to prepare the carriage and gold.

Davion forced Kalen to hand over most of the demanded money, then made him stab Elton before killing Elton and Raymond himself. He spared Kalen for now and left with a young girl from the Vance family, whom he considered assigning to Pia as a maid.

• Kalen returned from Grey Stone Keep with 4,600 Gold Dragons and 200 Silver Stags, and Davion gave him a month to pay the rest with interest.

• Kalen asked if Davion would kill him, and Davion reassured him while privately planning to take Grey Stone Keep and kill him later.
• Davion boarded the carriage with a young girl in a noblewoman's dress and wondered whether she was a Vance and whether Pia could take her as a maid.

Davion returned to Harrenhal with a young girl from House Vance and a carriage, then told Vereword and Pia a distorted account of the violence at Grey Stone Keep. He appointed Pia chief steward and tried to reward Vereword for his loyalty.

• Davion left Grey Stone Keep after Karyl Vance had killed his father Raymond and brother Elton, leaving Karyl behind with their bodies.
• Davion arrived at Harrenhal, where Vereword and Pia cautiously welcomed him and joined him in the carriage.

• Davion gave Pia fifty gold dragons and appointed her Harrenhal's chief steward, placing the young girl under her charge.
• Vereword refused the fifty gold dragons, and Davion praised his loyalty before insisting he accept them as a reward.

Davion secured Vereword’s renewed fealty and shared a lavish meal with him and Pia in Harrenhal’s empty great hall. He ordered Pia to hire servants and arrange regular food deliveries, tasked Vereword with recruiting guards, and summoned Maester Tosmio to discuss House Whent’s lands and test his loyalty.

• Pia brought the ill and elderly Tosmio to meet Davion, who asked her to help him sit down.
• Davion asked Tosmio about Harrenhal’s boundaries and current circumstances, and Tosmio described the lands around the Kingsroad, Acorn Hall, Lord Harroway’s Town, and the Gods Eye.
• Davion asked how to restore Harrenhal, and Tosmio advised him to become more assertive and build military strength to protect his lands and people.
• Tosmio suggested raising livestock and using Harrenhal’s waterways and central location to develop trade with nearby towns, King's Landing, Gulltown, and the Free Cities.
• Davion considered the Riverlands’ vulnerability to war and decided that strengthening his military had to come before pursuing Tosmio’s development plans.

Davion worked to restore Harrenhal, sending stern letters to nobles who owed House Whent money or had taken its people and lands. After learning that King Robert’s lavish tourney in King’s Landing offered enormous prizes, Davion decided to go there and try to win the gold.

• Davion ordered Maester Tosmio to warn indebted and encroaching nobles to repay their debts, return Harrenhal’s people, and give back its lands.
• Over the next week, Tosmio received no replies, Vereword recruited only five guards, and Pia hired servants who helped clean Harrenhal.
• Vereword told Davion that many fighters had gone to King’s Landing for King Robert’s tourney, whose joust and melee champions would receive 25,000 and 15,000 Gold Dragons.
• After realizing one competitor could potentially win 40,000 Gold Dragons, Davion told Pia to prepare the carriage so he could leave for King’s Landing.

After fifteen days on the Kingsroad, Davion reached King's Landing and got lost while searching for an inn. He ended up at Shataya's brothel, where Shataya welcomed him and led him to a private room for a bath.

• Davion left to seek armor and found the five women waiting in the corridor, where Mary held a handful of Silver Stags.

• The girls offered Davion their pooled Silver Stags as thanks, and he accepted them while giving the girl from Volantis twenty Gold Dragons.
• Davion left the establishment and walked to the Street of Steel, where he entered Tobho Mott’s smithy.

Davion returned to Shataya’s brothel after recoiling from King’s Landing’s filthy streets and encountered Tyrion and Petyr Baelish there. He recognized Baelish’s reach and scheming nature, then answered his praise with feigned modesty.

• Davion left the Street of Steel, was disgusted by the filth of King’s Landing, and returned to Shataya’s brothel.
• Davion found Shataya meeting with Tyrion and Petyr Baelish, and Tyrion invited him to join them.
• Tyrion mocked Baelish’s attempts to buy Shataya’s brothel and urged him to leave.

• Baelish addressed Davion as Earl Davion Whent and wished him success in the Hand’s Tourney, revealing that he knew about Davion’s recent exploits.
• Davion concealed his wariness of Baelish, thanked him for remembering him, and modestly praised Baelish and Tyrion.

Davion dismissed Littlefinger’s assessment of him and considered recruiting Tyrion as a future ally while Tyrion pressed him for advice about women. When Shataya brought the girls in, their affection for Davion left Tyrion jealous and baffled.

• Littlefinger concluded that Davion posed no threat to his plans and left the brothel.
• Tyrion asked Davion to explain how he had won Shataya’s girls, while Davion considered Tyrion a promising future Hand of the King.
• Davion told Tyrion that his charm might be natural, and Tyrion offered gold dragons as his own secret to attracting women.
