[Winterfell]

As the snowflakes of winter drifted lazily through the air, Morgana Baratheon, Queen of the North and wife of Robb Stark, surveyed the construction site with a satisfied smile. The workers, mostly Northerner's with their sturdy builds and weathered faces, toiled tirelessly under the watchful eye of Lord Jonnel Forrester. Their efforts were focused on transforming a small patch of land near the edge of Winterfell into something far more useful: a greenhouse. The surplus of natural resources the North had to offer would be put to good use here, as they began to prepare for the impending battle against the army of the dead.

The greenhouse was to serve two main purposes: firstly, it would ensure that the North would have a stable food supply, even in the harshest of winters. By growing crops and herbs in a controlled environment, they could increase the yield and variety of produce available, without having to worry about the whims of the weather. Secondly, it would provide much-needed work for the people of the North, committing to their economy and giving them a sense of purpose during these trying times.

As Morgana watched the workers toil, she couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in what they were accomplishing. The wood for the greenhouse had been harvested from the ancient forests that surrounded Winterfell, among the same trees that had once borne witness to the oaths of loyalty and protection sworn by generations of Starks.

Lord Jonnel Forrester, a trusted ally and adviser to Robb, had been instrumental in the planning and construction of the greenhouse. His knowledge of horticulture, coupled with Morgana's, and his experience in the more temperate climates of the south added a valuable perspective to the project. Together, they had designed a structure that would not only be sturdy and efficient but also beautiful, incorporating arches and vines to give it a fairytale-like appearance that would befit the North.

As the workers continued their labor, some focused on the greenhouse itself, ensuring that each joint was secure and that the structure would withstand even the harshest of winter storms. Others worked on crafting the pots needed to plant their crops. Morgana had even enlisted the help of some of the women in the village, who were skilled in weaving and textiles, to create colorful cloths and blankets to decorate the interior of the greenhouse.

The sight of the greenhouse rising from the snow-covered ground was a beacon of hope for the people of Winterfell, a symbol of their determination to survive and thrive in the face of adversity. Even Lord Jonnel Forrester, who had seen much of the world and had witnessed many great works of architecture, could not help but be impressed by the beauty and functionality of the structure.

As the workers continued their labor, Morgana took a moment to step back and admire their handiwork. The greenhouse was taking shape before her eyes, its wooden frame standing tall and sturdy, ready to protect the crops and herbs within. The pots, carefully crafted from local clay, were arranged in neat rows, waiting to be filled with soil and seeds. She could almost feel the life that would soon be brewing within these walls, and it filled her with a sense of warmth and optimism.

Lord Jonnel Forrester, ever the attentive observer, noticed her gaze and smiled. "It's beautiful, isn't it?" he asked, his voice carrying over the gentle rustling of leaves in the wind. "This greenhouse will be more than just a place to grow food. It will be a symbol of our resilience and determination to survive against all odds."

Morgana nodded, her eyes shining with pride. "Yes, it will. And when the battle is over, and the North has emerged victorious, this greenhouse will be a testament to the hard work and sacrifice of everyone who has contributed to its creation. It will be a symbol of hope for generations to come."

As they continued to discuss the greenhouse, Lord Jonnel shared his plans for a series of underground tunnels that would connect it to the main castle. These tunnels would serve as a means of transporting crops and supplies during the winter, ensuring that the food grown in the greenhouse would always be readily available to the people of Winterfell. The idea was both practical and ingenious, and Morgana couldn't help but marvel at Lord Jonnel's foresight.
