Spoilers

House Slynt has had an extraordinary rise and fall in the recent turmoil. Janos Slynt became involved in the machinations of the Lannisters against Lord Eddard Stark and was bought by Littlefinger to betray the Hand when he attempted to take up the regency King Robert gave into his control. For his services, Slynt was granted a place on the small council and the lordship of Harrenhal only to lose it all when the new Hand, Tyrion Lannister, forced him to take the black. Allying himself with Ser Alliser Thorne, he attempted to bring about Jon Snow’s death and then was nearly elected Lord Commander.

His eldest son, Morros, will now be lord of lands that Tyrion Lannister promised to find him, and his brothers will be made squires with the possibility of attaining knighthood.
