#AtoZchallenge — J is for — Joramun's Horn


From the Shadow Lands beyond Asshai to the Shores of Dragonstone and the frozen lands beyond the Wall comes the 10th anniversary of the AtoZ challenge...


The Horn of Joramun also known as The Horn of Winter will be portrayed on the cover of George R.R. Martins book, Winds of Winter, whenever that is. The horn belonged to Joramun, a former King-Beyond-The-Wall, who used it to wake giants from the earth. It's also been speculated in the communities of the Free Folk that the horn can bring down the Wall, which is the only thing separating Westeros from the hordes of undead gathering an army way up north.

While its ability to bring down the Wall may make it seem like it's only here to benefit the army of the dead, it could actually be instrumental in defeating them.
It was said that Joramun was integral in defeating the Night King many, many thousands of years ago — which he could have done with the help of his handy horn.


It is first mentioned in the third novel, A Storm of Swords, and it's said that when blown it will cause The Wall to crumble and fall. Ygritte is who first tells Jon about the horn, saying that Mance Rayder and the rest of the free folk have been searching for it everywhere. When Mance and his army arrive at Castle Black, Jon finally gets a look at the horn -- black with gold bands and engravings of runes from the First Men, the eight-foot-long horn is said to have been made from an aurochs, which are giant mythical oxen.

Can you guess who the letter is?

He is known as the "Kingslayer" because he treasonously slew the Mad King, Aerys II Targaryen, near the end of Robert's Rebellion.

    1. Alright, I agree he is handsome, but at first, he was a murderous s.o.b and Brienne of Tarth straightened him up a tad. Thanks for playing!
