You spent your life convincing ninety clans to come together for the first time in history - Thenns and Hornfoots, the ice-river clans, even the giants. A life's work uniting them.

[annabellehunt]

For God’s sake, let us sit upon the ground And tell sad stories of the death of kings; How some have been deposed; some slain in war, Some haunted by the ghosts they have deposed; Some poison’d by their wives: some sleeping kill’d; All murder’d: for within the hollow crown That rounds the mortal temples of a king Keeps Death his court and there the antic sits, Scoffing his state and grinning at his pomp, Allowing him a breath, a little scene, To monarchize, be fear’d and kill with looks, Infusing him with self and vain conceit, As if this flesh which walls about our life, Were brass impregnable, and humour’d thus Comes at the last and with a little pin Bores through his castle wall, and farewell king!

— William Shakespeare, The Life and Death of Richard the Second, Act 3, Scene 2 .

Do you know what it takes to unite ninety clans, half of whom want to massacre the other half for one insult or another? They speak seven languages in my army. The Thenns hate the Hornfoots. The Hornfoots hate the ice-river clans. Everyone hates the cave people. So do you know how I got moon worshippers and cannibals and giants to march together in the same army?

Free folk and kneelers are more like than not, Jon Snow. Men are men and women women, no matter which side of the Wall we were born on. Good men and bad, heroes and villains, men of honor, liars, cravens, brutes... we have plenty, as do you.
