Castle Black

Did have me going.

But it was interesting, uh, that toxic masculinity, and of course, again, he talks about how two m- rangers were found dead, and they brought ba- them back to Castle Black, and then got up and started murdering people, right? One of them killed Ser Jeremy Rykker, while the other tried to kill Jeor Mormont, and it stood out to me this time that, you know, House Rykker is brought up, trying to invoke some sort of care for a house of the Crownlands in the Crown.

Uh, House Rykker is of Duskendale, and to jog your memory, they hold the Dun Fort, where the defiance at Duskendale happened.

Dun, dun, dun.

You can fetch so many more impactful locations than the aged craftsman can.

Like, aged craftsman, your Castle Black is probably the most impactful out of that slot.

Underground Vault.

You can fetch and play directly

Most of the house's soldiers have died in the south, and winter is coming.

Will Randall Tarly try to use Harrian to support Young Griff's claim? Will Stannis go through with his plan to execute Arnolf, or might he escape in the confusion of the battle about to take place? Will Cregan remain a prisoner at Castle Black now Jon has been killed? Will Sigorn be able to claim Carhold without a fight? There are a lot of moving pieces in this storyline.

And this does take away from where we started this video.

The Karstarks started out as Stark loyalists.

Aftermath of the Night King's attack on Castle Black.

Tormund and Gendry are able to flee the scene.

Undead Viserion sets crows and undead afire.

Dies offscreen? But not before killing the White Walker that killed Ed.

Ed is stabbed to death by a White Walker.

Tormund and Gendry ride for Winterfell whilst we see a burning Castle Black in the background.

Okay, so why is the Night King even bothering to attack Castle Black? There's not much there, just a few men.

Was it? Melisandre had seen Eastwatch by the sea with King Stannis.

That was where His Grace left Queen Selyse and their daughter Shireen when he assembled his knights for the march to Castle Black.

The towers in her fire had been different, but that was oft the way with visions.

Yes, Eastwatch, my lord.

If he triumphs at Winterfell, there is every reason to believe Stannis will head up there next, and if the others go there as they might, he will no doubt fight them.

And Melisandre may have seen that in her flames.

But Jon may also be fighting at Castle Blacksay, with dragonglass, Valyrian steel, and maybe even the Horn of Winter, and Dany may also arrive on Drogon.

Stannis could be leading his own men in the fight against the dark, without being the most important person in that fight.

Maester Luwin retrieved the message with trembling hands, and as he read it, his face went completely ashen.

Your Grace, it's from Castle Black.

From Lord Commander Jon Snow.

Everyone in the room turned to Rob.

Ready the armies.

Send riders to every corner of the north, every man who can hold a weapon.

We march for Castle Black at first light tomorrow.

and the dragons will fly ahead as scouts.

Eastwatch has been completely destroyed.

Castle Black should be fine, though they might get a rumble.

Aesthetically, I like the way Viserion looks.

I like the blue energy that's bursting out of him.

His feet hit stone.

Castle Black keeps its oaths.

You'll have fire, food, and the Maester's hand.

My thanks, Lord Commander.

Stannis lets the scorched letter drop into the brazier.

Ash flicks upward like gray snow.

Davos, send a raven to Castle Black.

Tell Lord Stark I require proof of his own hand.

Daenerys thanks them and watches them disappear through the ruins of one of the oldest castles.

She then makes her way over to Castle Black, which sits nearly abandoned during the Great Ranging, as most of the men have left to investigate the disappearance of Benjen Stark and the strange wildling movements.

Because of that, those who remain in the castle are on edge and immediately take up arms when they see Daenerys and her party arrive.

The only one who calms them down is Donald Noy.

The Old Smith explains that Jon has gone beyond the Wall and the Great Ranging.

However, she is welcome to stay and help prepare for their return.

Daenerys and her troops immediately make themselves useful around Castle Black.

Having so many hands is a boon for the Night's Watch.
