![]() ![]() Lord Commander Janos Slynt of the City Watch had desperately tried to convince Queen Cersei that the dire situation was spiraling out of control, as did her brother Tyrion, who was serving as the acting Hand of the King at the time, but she waved aside such concerns.įurthermore, thanks to the letter sent by Stannis Baratheon to all corners of the realm, the rumors about Joffrey's parentage, that he is really the incestuous bastard of Cersei and her twin brother Jaime, are spreading among the nobles and the smallfolk. This drastically exacerbates the food shortages. The war in the Riverlands has also brought a large influx of refugees into King's Landing, seeking the protection of the city walls. Despite the recent assassination of Renly, House Tyrell is still wavering on which faction to align with. Meanwhile, House Tyrell of the Reach has sided with King Renly Baratheon, cutting off food shipments to the capital along the Roseroad. Food from the Riverlands stops arriving, because House Tully has sided with Robb Stark's rebellion, and the southern portions of the Riverlands occupied by Lannister armies have either been foraged to feed the occupation force or put to the torch. The Crownlands do not produce enough food to feed the large population of King's Landing, so food is mostly imported from the Reach and the Riverlands. Since the outbreak of the War of the Five Kings, the problems in King's Landing have multiplied, particularly the worsening food shortages.
