After informing Jon of his step-brother Robb kingship, he has Jon watched again, just in case he heads south to join his brother. Deciding that it is of the utmost importance to discover where the wildlings had gone and to search for Benjen Stark, Lord Commander Mormont orders a massive ranging, taking three hundred men from the Wall and marching north. He sets his base camp on the Fist of the First Men and sends out scouting parties.

While awaiting the return of the final scouting the Night's Watch is assaulted on the Fist of the First Men by wights. The Night's Watch is broken and Mormont orders a general retreat. They fall back to Craster's Keep where Mormont was killed by his own men during a mutiny.[5]

Lord Jeor was balding, but wore a shaggy grey beard down to his chest.[6]
