Some have fallen into eternal sleep, some have lost their courage, and some have sunk into darkness. Yet there will always be those who try to embrace the light, even on the farthest reaches of the universe. As the poem says: I am the sword in the darkness, the watcher on the wall, the fire that burns against the cold, the light at dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield and sword that guard the kingdom. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, this night and every night to come.
