Jon takes supplies to the Free Folk huddled in Mole’s Town. They’re not thrilled. But he has an offer: join the defence of the Wall and get full rations. Several heed the call. Mackelly and Simon (and Jon) wonder where the Free Folk's loyalties lie.

Chapter Review:
Jon Snow heads south to Mole’s Town with wagons of supplies for the Free Folk. Along the way he sees newly carved faces in the trees. Clearly the conversion to R'hllor hasn’t universally landed.

The new residents emerge to find that Jon can only spare starvation rations. Squabbles and arguments break out. Jon has a war horn blown to quiet the crowd.

He explains that the defenders of the Wall get more rations, they need their strength. Any of the Free Folk are welcome to join. They don’t have to take the Black, they don’t have to kneel, but they do have to obey orders. Sixty three wildlings take up the challenge, but the Thenns resist looking at Jon with disdain. Bowen Marsh has mixed feelings about the new recruits. Like Jon he’s sure they’ll fight the Others, but will they resist a Wildling attack?
