Jon sends [[Samwell Tarly]] to the [[Citadel]] to train as Castle Black's next maester, sending Aemon, [[Gilly]], Mance's child, and [[Dareon]] with Sam.{{ref|AFFC|5}}{{ref|ADWD|7}}

In [[King's Landing]], Queen Regent [[Cersei Lannister]] is outraged to learn of Jon's appointment as [[Lord Commander of the Night's Watch]], as he is Eddard Stark's son. The [[small council]] agrees that Jon must be removed from command, as he has given [[Stannis Baratheon]] shelter. Grand Maester [[Pycelle]] suggests informing the Watch that the crown will send no more men to the [[Wall]] until Jon is removed. Cersei is delighted with [[Qyburn]]'s suggestion to send a hundred recruits with secret orders to remove Jon.{{Ref|AFFC|17}} She plots to send Ser [[Osney Kettleblack]] to carry out the plan,{{Ref|AFFC|17}}{{Ref|AFFC|39}}{{Ref|AFFC|43}} but both Osney and Cersei are imprisoned by the [[Faith of the Seven]] before these plans can come to fruition.{{Ref|AFFC|43}}

When Ser [[Jaime Lannister]] offers that Ser [[Brynden Tully]] join the Night's Watch to end the [[siege of Riverrun]], Brynden refuses, citing the distrust of his niece [[Catelyn Stark|Catelyn]] for Jon.{{ref|AFFC|38}}
