people talk shyt on ned because his honor brought him down
but that honor also won him FIERCE loyalty from all his bannermen. even roose bolton had a certain begrudging respect and loyalty for ned. once ned died tho and he realized he was on the losing side he decided to say fukkit. every other house in the north would lay their lives for the starks.
the north remembers
i cant wait to see how it plays out
This can't be stressed enough. Ned Stark was so beloved by the north that they remain loyal to the very end. The show hasn't done a great job of showing just how revered the Starks are in the north. Robb Stark was also beloved, and is viewed as a legend already by the north - The Young Wolf.
@ the show not showing how Robb was the first to wake up every day in his army camp, and spent his mornings training his young and old soldiers how to fight. Laughing and joking with his men. They'd do anything for him. Even tried to save him at the Red Wedding.
