He's been locked up in a dungeon. Does he even care about the wife and child? Jaimie promised him something else.
Edmure was always a bit of a pussy, too. It's not like he was a refined gentleman of great courage. Remember the funeral? The missed shot(s)?
Edmure would've been easy to manipulate on a good day.

I realize the character is in the book but what did his role contribute to anything so far. I know scenes are done very purposely but it seemed pretty pointless unless it reminding everyone who is sided with who.

This obviously doesn't relate to succession to the Iron Throne if something happened to Tommen, but it's a possible candidate for the myseterious "rumor." I know I'm intrigued; Cersei always has something up her sleeve.
In the books there is an insane amount of wildfire under the sept of baylor, so that makes sense. I thought Tyrion used most of it in the battle of the blackwater though.
Okay, what is wildfire?
Remember from a few seasons ago, some old guy in Westeros had created what was essentially Greek Fire. He had secretly stored a crapload of it in some tunnel. Tyrion used this to defeat Stannis' army when they sailed into Westeros to attack.

This did not ring true to me at all as a reason for Edmure to comply. Historically kids were threatened a lot and even went under the knife. As Jamie pointed out Edmure was a virile man. Kids could be fathered at any time.
