Be legal and respectful to others. Lady Arryn often told me that you were her rock, Lord Royce." The whole thing could have something to do with blood magic as well, though. ―Ser Waymar to Will.. Ser Waymar Royce was a sworn brother of the Night's Watch who was killed by a White Walker. Not particularly valuable information, there are many highborn rangers and members of the Watch and the Others don't set individual traps for them as far as we know.
It involves Craster (again), clear factioning, and possibly a secret Other. And Will is a veteran ranger, someone Craster probably would've met before, but leaves him out entirely. "And if truth be told, I never once missed him. The 'bite took 'em, same as mine." Frost-fallen leaves whispered past them, and Royce's destrier moved restlessly. Have they somehow scouted the Stark family and knew that they were waiting for Jon Snow in particular? He snagged a roasted onion, dripping brown with gravy, from a nearby trencher and bit into it. White Walkers are definitely superhuman, so it's not really a strech to claim that they have a sense for things like that.
The old man warmed his hands before the fire.
Behaving more like assassins than anything else. It is a safe place regardless of where you are in the story.
We don't know if he knows I will say - I'm still not convinced that Craster is actively complicit in the Others' plans, just because I'm not sure that gels with the idea that the Others are antithetical to humans.I would argue that antithetical is perhaps too strong a word, their conditions of existence certainly are unfriendly to the survival of normal humans and they have Awesome post. From Catelyn, we learn of their children (ASOS Catelyn V):This is the wrong branch, however their daughters all married into other noble families.
Of course, they will behead you as a deserter... if I don't catch you first." But from the trap and situation the Others crafted, we can figure out what they were expecting to find.First off, they set an elaborate trap using wights to fool the rangers. There never was a week when he did not draw a dozen bloody watches. Both are regarded by Lord Commander Mormont as two of his best men (AGOT Tyrion III):Mormont scarcely seemed to hear him. Will was a poacher caught by Lord Mallister and chose the wall over losing his hand. Unfortunately Waymar is not an actual Stark, but he appears close enough to fool Craster and the Others.However Craster is not entirely wrong about Waymar being a Stark, the Starks and Royces intermarried recently. He has horses, but wights can be fast moving and tireless, they'd likely catch up while Gared slept as what happened to Sam and Gilly at Whitetree Village.From these, the only conclusion left is that the whole scenario was not a trap for three Night's Watch rangers, instead a trap for one ranger. Do they know he is special from an R+L=J or N+A=J perspective? Probably had one ear to the ground, could easily have heard about the beheading. I told him, with a commander that green, best not catch 'em. He could've learned Waymar was from House Royce and the Vale. But even if I have trouble with the Craster aspect, I think the stark-resemblance thing makes enough sense on its own. Craster laughed. “Isn't this guy supposed to be an amazing fighter?”. That would annoy Craster, not a reason to set off the Others on him and I doubt they would send six Others just to settle a mild annoyance from their baby factory manager. Just seeing him cut down quickly then a cut to guys running in the woods was neat to get things moving but to see him actually fight and hear the line "Come, Dance with me then!" JoeMagician did all the research and the writing. Especially since Benjen and his party marked their path in the woods.So maybe he did already know, but Jon just walked into the middle of conversation. "What do you think might have killed these men, Gared?" To be fair, I didnt realize Waymar's boss-ness until my 1st reread where I went into similar depth with the prologue, so maybe D&D only read the series once. Beron Stark, Jon's great-great-great grandfather Beron Stark married Lorra Royce.
How far they go for Waymar implies that what Craster told them was juicy, important information that set them off in a big way. There are six uninjured, camouflaged, and eager to kill Others right there with at least ten wights (after raising Waymar and Will) and they neglect to chase down Gared. And they supposedly drink hot blood, maybe they see heat somehow.i think that indicates they were seeing the future, possibly Jon with Longclaw.
But there is the problem of communication, not sure how a Crow would communicate with the Others. "Craster at one glance recognizes Jon correctly as looking like a Stark.
Damn GRRM and his mysteries.
"Will shrugged. You should expand this into a whole separate post.Point of pedantry, epilogue is at the end. His disappearance is the biggest missing puzzle piece from all this. Gared joined the Watch as a boy and been a ranger for forty years. The first item is checked off is by Craster, who identifies Waymar correctly as looking like a Stark. They're savages.
