355Lion Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 If he lives this long.. His father's "Jeor Mormant AKA the Old Bear" dying wish was for his son to take the black, do you think that will happen? After the Others are defeated he could become the lord commander of the new Nights Watch which would be filled with unsullied!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steinnis Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 The Unsullied would be freezing their balls off... oh wait!Unless he comes into contact with Sam and honors his father's dying wish, I don't see it. He might not make it out of Mereen, and if Dany takes him back into her service and is successful in Westeros, I'm sure she'll restore his lands to him, at the very least.

Black Mike Secret Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I think he will be given the option and take it, because the alternative would be death. He'll probably never see Bear Island again, which is sad.Bringing the Unsullied to the wall is kind of a bad move. They don't really have any ranging skills whatsoever, there are no real open battles with wildlings, and there's nothing to suggest that they can do any sort of building.That's even if they are needed at the Wall, if the Others are defeated. I think a 7K/Wildling alliance is on the horizon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Eater Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I think he'll die in Meereen before he gets a chance to take the black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingInTheCave Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 He should have done that instead of running to Essos. Now it's too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fightbringer Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 by the time he makes it to westeros (if he does) with dany, they'll be no time for him to take the black and then become LC, even if the NW is still going after the whole situation with jon. Also, doubt he'd be up for joining a the NW when the only thing he really wants in life is danaerys which the NW vows prohibit. After the defeat of the others, there wont be any need for the NW as (hopefully) there will be no more others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonin Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 iirc , has not Jorah has been pardoned for the slave selling episode ?? so, why take the black... tho, I think he will die in Meereen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveSnow House Stark Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Thinking he dies saving Dany. Can't see any way for him to live and take the black. He seems destined to die proving his love was true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knights of Ni Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 "by night all cloaks are black." AKA all hands on deck during the Long Night. Yeah I am up for Jon handing over command to Jorah along with Long Claw because Jorah, who will on his travels back to Westeros, find Dark Sister and give Jon it in return.

Dornish Whine Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 iirc , has not Jorah has been pardoned for the slave selling episode ?? so, why take the black... tho, I think he will die in Meereen.He was "trying to earn a pardon" by working for Robert/Varys in spying on Dany. I don't know if we was ever actually pardoned before Robert got himself stuck by a boar's tusks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodsteel bitterraven Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I don't think he was ever pardoned. He stopped sending reports after awhile. I don't think he deserves a happy ending to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binga Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 A bit too cliché for me, son fulfilling dying wish of father. He made his choice a long time ago, he is all about Dany. Sam will never meet up with him anyways. I think that was just supposed to tell us about the elder Mormont's inner conflicts and longings before his passing. They even left it out of the show.

Not Tony Stark Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 You know, that everything has to be unique and surprising. Even the most cliche of endings can be realistic in the world, as there are many more surprising endings for other characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aderyn the Sly Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I like the idea of Jorah taking the black, with or without the knowledge of his father's last request. If he does I doubt it will happen until Dany makes it to Westeros at least. I don't see him as being chosen as Lord Commander though. He always seems like more of a soldier than a leader to me and I doubt they would be likely to choose him because he is his father's son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyvasse Khal Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 He seems a bit too smitten with Dany to ever consider taking the black. He either dies fighting for her or is part of her Queensguard if she sits the IT. Hopefully the former, as both Jorah and Dany I have both lost a lot of interest in.

Minstral Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 While it might be fitting to an extent, his way of thinking has to change. He is a person who believes that he has been wronged by others. His wife, the Starks, and his aunt who "stole his" lordship. In the end his goal was always to reverse his fortune, and while he seemingly loses sight of that goal somewhat by trying to court Dany he still uses his past as a crux and is very unforgiving because of it.I like the idea of Jorah taking the black, with or without the knowledge of his father's last request. If he does I doubt it will happen until Dany makes it to Westeros at least. I don't see him as being chosen as Lord Commander though. He always seems like more of a soldier than a leader to me and I doubt they would be likely to choose him because he is his father's son.As a lord he would have been taught warfare by his father, and has experience against the Greyjoys. He may be a bit of a fool that deserves his fate, but he still gave Dany some good advice when it came to her campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duke Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Since when has Jorah Mormont been a man of honor? The only way he'd ever take the black, is if death is his only other option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way he'd ever take the black, is if death is his only other option.I think that when he made the decision to stop reporting on Dany and be true to her cause he saw it as a way to "redeem" his honor, as it were. When he tells Dany about his wife, and what he did for her he almost sounds ashamed of what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
