“Gormon Peake, the Lord of Starpike.”
The first literary allusion I've seen in one of GRRM's books. Steerpike is a character in Gormenghast by Mervyn Peake.

“Like any wise ruler, Abbot Arkos did not issue orders vainly, when to disobey was possible and to enforce was not possible. It was better to look the other way than to command ineffectually.”
