==Quotes== {{Quote|'''Jojen''': Who holds this land?<br>'''Bran''': The [[Night's Watch]]. This is the Gift. The New Gift, and north of that Brandon's Gift. [[Brandon the Builder]] gave all the land south of the [[Wall]] to the black brothers, to a distance of twenty-five leagues. For their ... for their sustenance and support. Some [[maesters]] say it was some other Brandon, not the Builder, but it's still Brandon's Gift. Thousands of years later, [[Alysanne Targaryen|Good Queen Alysanne]] visited the Wall on her [[dragon]] [[Silverwing]], and she thought the Night's Watch was so brave that she had [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen|the Old King]] double the size of their lands, to fifty leagues. So that was the New Gift. Here. All this.{{ref|ASOS|40}}|[[Jojen Reed]] and [[Bran Stark]]}} {{Quote|'''Jon''': The land belongs to the [[Night's Watch|Watch]].<br>'''Ygritte''': No one lives here.<br>'''Jon''': [[free folk|Your raiders]] drove them off.<br>'''Ygritte''': They were cowards, then. If they wanted the land they should have stayed and fought.<br>'''Jon''': Maybe they were tired of fighting. Tired of barring their doors every night and wondering if [[Rattleshirt]] or someone like him would break them down to carry off their wives. Tired of having their harvests stolen, and any valuables they might have. It's easier to move beyond the reach of raiders.{{Ref|ASOS|41}}|[[Jon Snow]] and [[Ygritte]]}} {{Quote|This was the Gift, protected by the [[Night's Watch]] and the power of [[Winterfell]]. A man should have been free to build a fire here, without dying for it.{{Ref|ASOS|41}}|thoughts of [[Jon Snow]]}} {{Quote|'''Brandon''': Lord Snow, where do you mean to put these [[wildlings]] o' yours? Not on my lands, I hope.<br>'''Torghen''': Aye. You want them in the Gift, that's your folly, but see they don't wander off or I'll send you back their heads. Winter is nigh, I want no more mouths to feed.{{Ref|ADWD|53}}|[[Brandon Norrey]] and [[Torghen Flint]] to [[Jon Snow]]}}
