Stories of wildlings, giants, grumpkins, snarks and even dragons were rife. One particular fur trader had landed in Duskendale, explaining how the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch disbanded the ancient order and allied with the grumpkins and snarks to conquer the North. He also had an army of vicious giants that pulverised all of his enemies into meatpaste. Or how Jon Snow was killed in a mutiny, but when they tried to burn his corpse, he turned into a dragon and flew away. Or how the bastard was the second coming of the Hungry Wolf, beheading everyone who opposed him and lining their heads on a spike on Winterfell's walls.
