Ser-Hodor Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I can't remember, but does Jon ever learn why exactly The Liddle and the Norrey go to the wall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bright Blue Eyes Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 No. And that's the base for much speculation in the fandom. From the Great Northern Conspiracy to working with Mance Rayder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

House Hendrix of Rock Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Aemon told em?"Maester Aemon had sent a lot of birds . . . not to one king, but to four. Wildlings at the gate, the message ran. The realm in danger. Send all the help you can to Castle Black. Even as far as Oldtown and the Citadel the ravens flew, and to half a hundred mighty lords in their castles. The northern lords offered their best hope, so to them Aemon had sent two birds. To the Umbers and the Boltons, to Castle Cerwyn and Torrhen’s Square, Karhold and Deepwood Motte, to Bear Island, Oldcastle, Widow’s Watch, White Harbor, Barrowton, and the Rills, to the mountain fastnesses of the Liddles, the Burleys, the Norreys, the Harclays, and the Wulls, the black birds brought their plea. Wildlings at the gate. The north in danger. Come with all your strength." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bright Blue Eyes Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Oh. No, they aren't. They just visit Castle Black for some reason. Long after Mance was dealt with. Even after Stannis had already left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A bowl of brown Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Well the pretence was Alys' wedding wasn't it? Why there still there is up for debate? Though my best guess is they're evaluating Jon for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nettles Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 "Old Flint and The Norrey had been given places of high honor just below the dais. Both men had been too old to march with Stannis; they had sent their sons and grandsons in their stead. But they had been quick enough to descend on Castle Black for the wedding. Each had brought a wet nurse to the Wall as well"....etc, etc. The passage is on p. 717 aDwD Bantam books and should be read as a whole. John suspects they are not there just for the wedding.

yankee211 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 At this point we don't know what the situation will be at the wall with Jon getting stab and will Tormund and the wildlings retaliate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickdt Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Well. Its rather odd they are there as Jon is stabbed. I think they are send by Howland Reed, who has seen it in a green dream. They are there to protect and if it must save Jon or else the GNC is doomed to fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
