Septon Barth
Honorary Founder Emeritus, WBA No. 001
We are as the gods made us, strong and weak, good and bad, cruel and kind, heroic and selfish. Know that if you would rule over the kingdoms of men.
Writings of Barth, Fire & Blood
Clint of the Laughing Tree

Justice.” Thoros smiled wanly. “I remember justice. It had a pleasant taste. Justice was what we were about when Beric led us, or so we told ourselves. We were king’s men, knights, and heroes . . . but some knights are dark and full of terror, my lady. War makes monsters of us all.”
A Feast For Crows, Brienne VIII
Ye Olde Official Membership Roll
JoeMagician
Justiciar, WBA No. 000
One day, Bran, you will be Robb’s bannerman, holding a keep of your own for your brother and your king, and justice will fall to you. When that day comes, you must take no pleasure in the task, but neither must you look away. A ruler who hides behind paid executioners soon forgets what death is.
A Game of Thrones, Bran I
Lo the Lynx
Amicus Curiae, WBA No. 002
A ruler needs a good head and a true heart. A cock is not essential.”

He likes the stories where the knights fight monsters.”
“Sometimes the knights are the monsters, Bran.”
-A Storm of Swords, Bran II
Aegon Thesixth
Justiciar, WBA No. 012
“Aegon has been shaped for rule before he could walk. He has been trained in arms, as befits a knight to be, but that was not the end of his education. He reads and writes, he speaks several tongues, he has studied history and law and poetry. A septa has instructed him in the mysteries of the Faith since he was old enough to understand them. He has lived with fisherfolk, worked with his hands, swum in rivers and mended nets and learned to wash his own clothes at need. He can fish and cook and bind up a wound, he knows what it is like to be hungry, to be hunted, to be afraid. Tommen has been taught that kingship is his right. Aegon knows kingship is his duty, that a king must put his people first, and live and rule for them.”
–A Dance With Dragons, Epilogue
Dolorous Ray
Amicus Curiae, WBA No. 013
When he turned away from the window at last, his voice was tired and full of melancholy, and moisture glittered faintly in the corners of his eyes. “My father went south once, to answer the summons of a king. He never came home again.”

Ann Noyola
Esquire, WBA No. 021
The viewing stand had already begun to fill, the lords and ladies clutching their cloaks tight about them against the morning chill. Smallfolk were drifting toward the field as well, and hundreds of them already stood along the fence. So many come to see me die, thought Dunk bitterly, but he wronged them. A few steps farther on, a woman called out, “Good fortune to you.” An old man stepped up to take his hand and said, “May the gods give you strength, ser.” Then a begging brother in a tattered brown robe said a blessing on his sword, and a maid kissed his cheek. They are for me. “Why?” he asked Pate. “What am I to them?”
“A knight who remembered his vows,” the smith said.
–The Hedge Knight

We’ve had no such troubles here . . . and I’ll thank you not to tell such evil tales under my roof. I’m a godly man, and the gods keep me safe. If wights come walking, I’ll know how to send them back to their graves. Though I could use me a sharp new axe.”

Justiciar, WBA No. 051
I shall bring justice to Westeros. A thing Ser Axell understands as little as he does war. Claw Isle would gain me naught . . . and it was evil, just as you said. Celtigar must pay the traitor’s price himself, in his own person. And when I come into my kingdom, he shall. Every man shall reap what he has sown, from the highest lord to the lowest gutter rat. And some will lose more than the tips off their fingers, I promise you. They have made my kingdom bleed, and I do not forget that.”
Carley DeFillips
Amicus Curiae, WBA No. 057
If ice can burn, then love and hate can mate.”

I see you,” she whispered. “I see you, wolf child. Blood child. I thought it was the lord who smelled of death . . .” She began to sob, her little body shaking. “You are cruel to come to my hill, cruel. I gorged on grief at Summerhall, I need none of yours. Begone from here, dark heart. Begone!”

You’ll have no one,” Yoren said stubbornly. “There’s laws on such things.” The gold cloak drew a short sword. “Here’s you’re law.” Yoren looked at the blade. “That’s no law, that’s a sword. Happens I got one too.”
Lisa Sponaugle
Esquire, WBA No. 413
Power resides where men believe it resides. It’s a trick, a shadow on the wall. And a very small man can cast a very large shadow. “

I will remember, Your Grace,” said Sansa, though she had always heard that love was a surer route to the people’s loyalty than fear. If I am ever a queen, I’ll make them love me.”

Kristine Kippins
Justiciar, WBA No. 998
I was the grass. Pleasant, complaisant, sweet-smelling, swaying with every breeze. Who fears to walk upon the grass? But it is the grass that hides the viper from his enemies and shelters him until he strikes.”
-Doran Martell, A Dance With Dragons
