They change colors when they move and their swords seem alive with moonlight, their blue eyes made of ice. The bodies disappear, and Others, described as white shadows, appear in the crevices of the dark night. The area where the wildlings had died, however, becomes disturbed. Will says, “My mother told me that dead men sing no songs.” Note that in the television show, the dead wildlings are arranged in a circular pattern. The rangers find the wildlings dead, in the snow, with one of them up in an ironwood tree and a couple other propped up against rocks. It would keep away the “other things.” We’re not sure what other things means just yet, but hints are there: the monsters presumed dead–the direwolves, gigantic snow bears, and giants–or whatever is rustling in the trees. Moonlight sheds the breath of the icy cold a fire would be nice. Immediately, the biodiversity, mystery, and climate of Thrones upends the reader.

Somewhat south of the Wall is Winterfell, home to the Stark family.Ī member of the Night’s Watch, Gared, ponders the dark wilderness of the Haunted Forest beyond the Wall, where he, Will, and Ser Waymar Rocye are sent to track down the wildlings, a free folk. The names of waterways nearby leave one feeling cold: Shivering Sea, Bay of Ice, Bay of Seals. To the north of the Wall is the Haunted Forest, and northwest of that, the Land of Always Winter.

It is their eternal duty to watch for any “Others” who try to come over the Wall from the north.

The Night’s Watch is a band of oathed men residing in the northern part of Westeros at Castle Black, just one of the stations along the Wall. The story starts in Westeros with men from the Night’s Watch following a trail of wildlings. The world has three continents and many islands: the thinner and taller Westeros to the west, the much wider Essos to the east, and Sothoryos to the south of Essos. From the wild grasses of the Summer Sea to the tall ghost grasses of the Shadow Lands to the placid rivers and rolling hills of Norvos to the manticores in the islands of the Jade Sea and basilisks in the jungles of the Yi Ti–it is easy to become mesmerized by the wilderness alone, which author George RR Martin paints brightly.
A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE THE OTHERS SERIES
A Song of Ice and Fire is a novel series that explodes with ecological diversity in the world, which, compared to our planet today, intones a wilder and younger version of our own beginnings–from the tall cedars, gardens, and birds of Riverrun to the sacred weirwoods and mighty oaks of Winterfell to the Haunted Forest and icy winterlands north of the Wall to the thirty six types of flowers Arya finds on her way to King’s Landing.
