The Night's Watch is a military retinue which holds and garrisons The Wall, defending it from wildings or whatever else seeks to threaten the realm. The Night's Watch was heavily involved in the Last Ranging, but most do not know what happened during the war.
The Night's Watch is made up of Rangers, Builders and Stewards and all play a critical part in manning and protecting the wall. The current Lord Commander of the Night's Watch is the 1001st of that title.
"Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come."

Other[]
- Otto Blackflower, a bastard member of House Hightower, was exiled to the Watch after attempting to murder his half-cousin Alester the Silverhand, then Lord of Oldtown. Rather than bear their charge to his punishment upon the Wall, the crew mutinied, and Blackflower escaped into the east where he lived for years as a pirate, sellsail, and sellsword, eventually rising to the command of the Second Sons.
