  • (..) Night's Watch can't continue to feed your men and the wildling prisoners indefinitely. Mm, winter is coming. I know it. We march on Winterfell within a fortnight. Before the snows trap us here. And the wildlings? They'd rather burn than fight for me, so be it. I leave their fate to you. (..)
