Robb's a pretty big deal in the first three books; his death stunned readers and viewers everywhere while cementing the story's legacy.
But beyond shocking twists, there's a lot of emotional depth to Robb's storyline—so much that George R. R. Martin even regrets not giving him viewpoint chapters. We dissect what we think Robb's chapters would focus on and how it relates to the overall story.
