"For you to become a hunter," Roy said to Ned. Finger pointing high, trying to make a point. "First, is to finish an Academy. Second, gain the trust of other Hunters. Gaining trust usually happens if: you are a Companion and gain your team's trust. Or, your House is famous enough to be easily recognized.

Roy suggested training here as the chamber was once used as a supply room. But since supplies were getting low for the past years, the chamber was left vacant.
The center of the chamber was divided by flowing water that almost looked like a stream if there were trees that surround it.
