The Fist of the First Men is a hill found north of the wall. It is the location of the Battle of the Fist of the First Men.

History

The Fist was built by the First Men in the Dawn Age. Some of its stone ringwall still remains.[1]

Description

The Fist is located next to the Milkwater, surrounded by the Haunted Forest.[2] The hill offers commanding views, with the slopes at a dangerous angle to the north and west, and only slightly less dangerous to east. There is a ringwall of chest-high grey stone that crowns the top of the steep, stony hill. At the foot of the hill there is brook.[3]

Recent Events

A Clash of Kings

The Night's Watch make their camp here while searching for the wildling masses. From here they hoped to stop any march on the Wall.[1] The site is in poor repair. Breaches in the low ringwall are filled in with timber and protected with rows of stakes by the Watch, and the slopes are booby-trapped with caltrops.

A Storm of Swords

In spite of the Watch's best efforts to mount a defense they are attacked and easily swept from the Fist by the Others during the Battle of the Fist of the First Men.
