Take this from a man who has rebuilt. My maester tells me I raise this too often. My maester is welcome to raise something better.
The question, put plainly: why the Wall was really built, and against what. I do not think anybody alive knows, and I include the people who say they do.
Ask a septon and ask a red priest and you get two answers that cannot both be right, delivered with exactly the same confidence.
That is the whole of the lesson, and it was dear.
