I have felt from the beginning that Stannis was a greater danger than all the others combined.
Ned found it hard to imagine what could frighten Stannis Baratheon, who had once held Storm’s End through a year of siege, surviving on rats and boot leather while the Lords Tyrell and Redwyne sat outside with their hosts, banqueting in sight of his walls.
His claim is the true one, he is known for his prowess as a battle commander, and he is utterly without mercy. There is no creature on earth half so terrifying as a truly just man.
Few of the birds that Maester Aemon had sent off had returned as yet. One reached Stannis, though. One found Dragonstone, and a king who still cared.

ROBERT was the true steel. / STANNIS is pure iron, black and hard and strong, yes, but brittle, the way iron gets. he’ll break before he bends. / and RENLY, that one, he’s copper, bright and shiny, pretty to look at but not worth all that much at the end of the day.
