Up North you could be more at risk from vitamin deficiencies. Wun Wun's five-a-day will pave the way for healthier eating choices for everyone. Keep scurvy at bay! For a vegan NW!

Darth Sidious Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 How should Jon deal with Matsh and the men who killed him? Jon should beg for forgiveness. He betrayed them. He could surrender himself to Ramsay to avoid more trouble for the Watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon is the LC, and he was betrayed by bigoted cowards. ‘Let them die’ b/c I don’t care about protecting the realms of men, I only care about my own arse. But it’s refreshing to see the acknowledgement that Ramsay made it clear that he plans on attacking the NW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanF Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 A variety of options. 1. Blood-eagling, as an offering to the Gods 2. Chain them to stakes, North of the Wall, leaving them for the Others. 3. Cut man-size holes in the top of the Wall, fill them with water, and deposit them in them. That way, their watch never ends.

I would like to understand where these claims stating that Jon destroyed and betrayed the NW are coming from, since the text shows us the exact opposite. It would be extra nice to see some textual support, but maybe I’m asking for too much. ADwD, Jon XI Lord Snow, must I remind you? You swore an oath." "I know what I swore." Jon said the words. "I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men. Were those the same words you said when you took your vows?" "They were. As the lord commander knows." Are you certain that I have not forgotten some? The ones about the king and his laws, and how we must defend every foot of his land and cling to each ruined castle? How does that part go?" Jon waited for an answer. None came. "I am the shield that guards the realms of men. Those are the words. So tell me, my lord—what are these wildlings, if not men?" Bowen Marsh opened his mouth. No words came out. A flush crept up his neck. And after their talk w/ Jon and having witnessed the exchange between Jon and Marsh, Flint and Norrey accept Jon’s plans. And even if they don’t remember as much as they perhaps should, Flint and Norrey know more about the NW and its purpose than Marsh ever could.

But arguably beyond the Wall is not the realms of men (if everywhere is the realms of men, then the phrase has no meaning. And if the Watch are somehow defending everywhere, why are they based on something that looks very much like a frontier? And thirdly, it looks as if the Others most definitely do not consider north of the Wall as the realms of men.) 4 hours ago, kissdbyfire said: And after their talk w/ Jon and having witnessed the exchange between Jon and Marsh, Flint and Norrey accept Jon’s plans.

A very expansionist interpretation - no wonder the Others are annoyed. But I don't think it holds. The Wall has been around for eight thousand years or whatever, and the Watchmen back at the beginning would have a much better idea of what the oath meant than Bowen or Jon - and their understanding of the oath led them to base themselves on the Wall and stay there. They did not expand northwards along with wildling settlers - if the oath required that, they'd be a sellsword service for free, offering security against the terrors of the wild to whoever and wherever it was wanted, but there's no sign of that ever being the case.

The [original & true] purpose of the NW is to defend humanity imo. 1 hour ago, Springwatch said: And if the Watch are somehow defending everywhere, why are they based on something that looks very much like a frontier? It’s the other way about, it looks like a frontier because that’s where they decided to build the Wall. Maybe we’ll learn exactly why, maybe not. 1 hour ago, Springwatch said: And thirdly, it looks as if the Others most definitely do not consider north of the Wall as the realms of men.) Not sure what you mean here… 1 hour ago, Springwatch said: Why would we think Flint and Norrey know more than Marsh? Because the North remembers. Clearly not as much as they should in general, although I have a feeling the clans remember more than other northerners. They know more about their past and histories and stories than Bowen, despite the fact that he is a northerner himself. Imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wildlings have settled in the North, a kingdom that the Night's Watch has sworn to protect, so Jon is right. He is doing his duty here, Bowen&Co are the traitors and should be put to death for mutiny and attempted murder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
