Raymund Redbeards Host

Recommended Posts

Hi there, I am (slowly but steadily) rein through The World of Ice and Fire. And today I stumbled upon the attack of the-King-beyond-the-Wall Raymund Redbeard at the norht. And his defeat at the Long Lake through the Starks and the "drunken giant" (Duncan the tall?). And the late arrival of the nights watch.

So and the maester writing the passage wrote that the nights watch got the task to burry the slain wildlings host because they arrived too late. And the passage states that the nights watch did a _admirable_ job at burrying them. This somehow struck me odd...

I thought this might be a source of wights for the Others. What are your thoughts?

The Drunken Giant was Lord Umber. The "admirable job" was just a jab against the Nights Watch, because their job of guarding the Wall was anything but admirable.



Anyway, the couple hundred buried and rotted corpses won't matter. Apart from being low in number (more than 2-3,000 Wildlings in total is not feasible), they have rotted to bare bones a hundred years ago. The Others need corpses to be reasonably intact. And they need to be close by while they die.
