Summary

Join us for our deep dive into the Battle at the Wall - the set piece battle of a Storm of Swords! We recap all of the characters involved and explore the setup: from Jon Snow's time with the Free Folk and the subsequent attack on Castle Black, to how Mance Rayder motivated thousands of Free Folk to move south as one group, and what brought Stannis Baratheon north after his crushing defeat at the Blackwater. Then we go step by step through the initial assault on the Wall by Mance's massive army, Jon Snow's defensive response, and the final and surprising conclusion.
