Throughout the Mander, a reproduced folio of letters, allegedly correspondence between Lord Barristan and Lord Selwyn Dawnrose are being read, and much chuckled over. The letters go something like this:
Dear Brother
I ask that you come to Wargrove so that we might speak about what has happened. I ask that you come alone but if wish you may bring as many men as desire I will not order my brother to do something.
Lord Barristan Dawnrose
Dear Brother,
I am quite comfortable, and have much that needs doing here at home. I am content to correspond by letter until you can find the time to visit.
Your loving brother,
Selwyn
Dear Brother
Very well then. I ask if there are any truths to the rumors that you seek the return of money since your age of 16.
Barristan.
Dear Brother,
Since you are so kind as to offer, I will gladly accept. You have always been so very understanding.
Your brother,
Selwyn
Dear Brother
I think you misunderstood me. I had heard that you desired it but I must in form you know that it is not the case. I must say know you blame me for keeping Dawnrose Keep from you but you came to the age of maturity when our father was alive and he did not give it to you. He told before he died that you were to receive Dawnrose Keep at the age of 20.
Loving brother Barristan.
Dear "Brother,"
The age of majority is sixteen in Westeros, as it has always been since before Aegon the Conqueror took his Iron Throne at King's Landing. You are the only one who ever heard father say anything about the age of twenty and I have NEVER believed you. The fact you have worked me like a servant to run Dawnrose Keep and earn income for YOU shows that I must have been mature enough to rule it on my own. You have denied my birth right from me for the past four years, but you will not do so any longer.
-Selwyn Dawnrose
Dear Brother.
I made you Castellan as it showed my trust in you. But as you said you have declared yourself Lord and I have approved it so I ask that this be the end of the matter.
Barristan.
Dear brother,
So you will condemn your own sibling to struggling, because you will not give him the treasury which he deserves? Most uncharitable. It seems all that wealth you've accumulated while I've served you as Castellan has gone to your head.
Love,
Selwyn
