Fim da tempestade

Ele estava lá durante o cerco e ele relata os seguintes eventos que ocorreram durante esse tempo. Note que eles estão falando sobre o canibalismo que só teria acontecido se tivessem estado sob cerco sem esperança de suprimentos, a menos que você seja um certo contrabandista que é.

"Yields?" Lord Rowan laughed. "When Mace Tyrell laid siege to Storm's End, Stannis ate rats rather than open his gates."
"Well I remember." Renly lifted his chin to allow Brienne to fasten his gorget in place. "Near the end, Ser Gawen Wylde and three of his knights tried to steal out a postern gate to surrender. Stannis caught them and ordered them flung from the walls with catapults. I can still see Gawen's face as they strapped him down. He had been our master-at-arms."
Lord Rowan appeared puzzled. "No men were hurled from the walls. I would surely remember that."
"Maester Cressen told Stannis that we might be forced to eat our dead, and there was no gain in flinging away good meat." Renly pushed back his hair. Brienne bound it with a velvet tie and pulled a padded cap down over his ears, to cushion the weight of his helm. "Thanks to the Onion Knight we were never reduced to dining on corpses, but it was a close thing. Too close for Ser Gawen, who died in his cell."

Na época da Rebelião de Robert, Renly ainda era muito jovem. Ele nasceu em 278 e a rebelião aconteceu em 282, então ele teria 4 a 6 anos de idade durante a guerra.

Uma criança que jovem teria feito uma perfeita refém, então ele foi presumivelmente mantido sob fechadura e chave em Storm's End o tempo todo.
