Hmmm. This sounds like a "high command". Clearly, there is someone in overall charge at Whitewall - King Broyan. The King has his sworn men and supporters who back up his authority and power. Beyond, that there are the various tribal kings, chieftains and thanes present - complete with their own bands of sworn men and supporters.

Sometime back, irc, Martin posted something about the Lunar troops present in Dragon Pass at the time.

Personally, I doubt that Broyan would need a message from Minaryth to defend Whitewall. WW is (1) impregnable, (2) sacred, (3) the "place" of Hendreik and the Hendreiki, (4) a thorn in the side of any Lunar attempts to conquer and occupy Heortland.
