Jon gets a pardon and a shiny new sword from Jeor Mormont. His buddies are all excited but Jon is preoccupied with news from the south. Maester Aemon sympathizes and reveals a shocker. Simon and Mackelly continue their watch.

Chapter Review:
Jon has burned his hand in finally killing off Othor. While he\\u2019s nursing it, Lord Commander Mormont presents him with a sword. It is the family sword of the Mormonts, it too was burned but the Valyrian steel survived. The new handle replaces the bear with a direwolf. Jon decides to keep the name, Longclaw, as it works as well for a wolf as a bear.

Even better news for Jon is that Alliser Thorne has been sent to King\\u2019s Landing to make the case for more troops, with the help of Jafar Flowers\\u2019 trusty and un-decomposing hand. Jon is very concerned about the latest rumors from the south: Robb calling the banners and marching south to fight for their father.

Jon is summoned to help maester Aemon feed his ravens. The old man reminds Jon of his vows. Jon doesn\\u2019t think Aemon understands, but the maester reveals that he is Aemon Targaryen so, yeah, he\\u2019s had a few family setbacks that he has had to endure in his time at the wall.
