Mormont, who is talking to some of his officers, tells Jon to bring some hot spiced wine. When they arrive, Jon leaves to attend to the Lord Commander. Overhead, the red tail of Mormont’s Torch is as bright as the moon. Sam states the ravens hate being caged, and if he could fly he would be back at Castle Black and be eating pork pie. Jon tells Sam that the commander plans to stay here and wait for Qhorin Halfhand and the men from the Shadow Tower, and he should get a raven ready since the commander will want to send a message. When darkness starts to arrive, Jon is interrupted by Samwell Tarly.

He climbs some rocks from where he can see the Milkwater river and the rugged landscape giving way to high stony hills to the north. Jon Snow can tell the travelling is wearing on the Lord Commander, but he tries not to let it show.Īfter putting up the Lord Commander’s tent and seeing to the horses, he descends to find Ghost, who suddenly appears next to him. Their camp is made behind a stone ring built by the First Men during the Dawn Age.Īs they climbed, Ghost ran off, and Jon had to keep calling him back, but the commander finally grew impatient and told Jon to let him go. Its disadvantage, pointed out by Jon, is that they will have to climb down to get water. The commander agrees they are not likely to find a better place to defend.

The commander tells Thoren Smallwood it is good ground, and he replies it is an old place that is strong and will be easy to defend. Jon Snow thinks that it actually looks like a fist plunging up from the ground. Lord Commander Mormont's men arrive at the Fist of the First Men. Ghost leads him to some buried Dragonglass weapons wrapped in a cloak of the Night's Watch. Ghost finally joins Jon Snow in the ring, surprising Jon since Ghost has previously refused to come into the ring. The Lord Commander plans to reinforce the stone ring built by the First Men during the Dawn Age to wait for men from the Shadow Tower here, and then to wait for Mance Rayder to return from the Frostfangs. Lord Commander Mormont's men reach the Fist of the First Men.
