Wandering crows

"Recruiting officers known as Wandering Crows scour the dungeons and slums of the realm in hope of finding men to fill the ranks."

- Maester Luwing

Wandering Crows is the nickname received by sworn brothers of the Night's Watch that travel through the Seven Kingdoms recruiting new members for the order. Usually, these recruits are lowly criminals - rapists, thieves or murderers - that have chosen to take the black to avoid execution or mutilation.
