    Could be something as simple as Renly is the most popular guy south of King's Landing. Those with Baratheon and Tyrell allegiances are on his side, and perhaps the Martels or whatever else is south of KL

    Northern/cold regions usually have lower populations, but each man is more valuable due to being better equipped to withstand the climate and terrain. IIRC, it's like how during one of the world wars, the Soviets outnumbered one of the Scandinavian countries like 10:1, but when they invaded, they got nowhere and their casualties were close to 10:1


    Also, GRRM doesn't understand geography and probably not much about logistics. His geography is fucking awful. In the real world, the Narrow Sea would be way too small to keep the continents so isolated, Qarth would not be a lone city on the water source, but one of many, the Dothraki wouldn't be able to maintain so many horses, the Greyjoys couldn't really even be a culture with fortified location, almost every nation here would have lots of navy, not just the Greyjoys and the guy who wants to fuck the queen. Hell, King's Landing's navy would dwarf any other on the planet, just on the geography

    You mean the lone city in Essos? You can see in the intro that there are more - Pentos, for example.
