Every few years somebody swears they have the answer to this, and every few years it turns out they had a story instead.

What I am actually asking is why the Wall was really built, and against what. I think it will turn out to be simpler and sadder than the songs have it.

Ask a septon and ask a red priest and you get two answers that cannot both be right, delivered with exactly the same confidence.

I expect to die not knowing, and I have made my peace with it.
