Send us a Text Message.
Sam has found a number of maps that will come in useful for the planned great ranging of the Night’s Watch. Lord Commander Mormont shares maester Aemon’s past with Jon. Simon and Mackelly wrap up warm and consider the prospects.
Chapter Review:
Jon finds Sam in the Castle Black library surrounded by books and parchments. Sam has been gone all night and missed breakfast. He was sent for maps of the North, but was swept away by the feast of knowledge he found. Jon’s unimpressed.
They head to Lord Commander Mormont’s rooms. Jeor is in dispute with the acting first-ranger Thoren Smallwood, who believes that the Lord Commander should stay home. Mormont pulls rank and dismisses Thornwood. He’s also disappointed by the age and content of the maps.
Sam is terrified of the commander, but needs to find a bit of courage as he’ll be joining the great ranging. Mormont talks Jon through maester Aemon’s family history, in the hopes that the aging maester’s example of loyalty to his vows, in the face of overwhelming temptations, will resonate with Jon. Snow knuckles down for the ranging.
