The Night's Watch

The Night's Watch was a military order dedicated to holding the Wall, the immense fortification on the northern border of the Seven Kingdoms, defending the realms of men from what lies beyond the Wall.

The order's foundation dated back to the Age of Heroes, at the time when the Others were first pushed back. The men of Night's Watch wear only black, and they are known as Black Brothers.

Recent History
The Night's Watch has slowly dwindled from its long-past glory days, being forced to face much stronger forces from beyond the Wall in both the Woe of Wolves and the War Beyond The Wall.
