#Free Folk The Free Folk, also known as wildlings, are the people who reside beyond the Wall in the far North of Westeros. They reject the rule of the Seven Kingdoms and consider themselves independent. Living in a harsh environment with scarce resources, the Free Folk have adapted to survive by forming various tribes and clans. They value freedom and individualism, and their society is far less structured than the feudal system of the Seven Kingdoms.

Now United under Mance Rayder, the King-Beyond-the-Wall, the Free folk is marching south towards the Wall. Trying to escape an army that cannot be defeated, according to scouts.

##Rayder Mance Rayder, known as the King-Beyond-the-Wall, was once a member of the Night's Watch. During a ranging, he was injured and cared for by a wildling woman who mended his wounds and patched his black cloak with red. Upon returning to the Wall, he was ordered to replace his cloak with a new, wholly black one. This imposition on his freedom made him realize he could never be content in the Watch, leading him to choose a life among the wildlings.

Driven by a vision to unite the Free Folk, Mance set out to find the Horn of Winter, a legendary artifact said to awaken giants from the earth and bring down the Wall. According to some, the Free Folk were also fleeing south to escape an ancient enemy, a threat that compelled them to attempt to cross the Wall. Mance succeeded in uniting all the clans beyond the Wall and led an army of 100,000 southward.

Despite initial successes against the Night's Watch, his forces were ultimately defeated when the Watch received crucial support from Stannis Baratheon.

##Ice River Clan The ice-river clans are perpetually at war with the sled-riders of the Frozen Shore.

Unlike the sled-riders who fish from the sea, the ice-river clans must raid other tribes, typically the men of the Frozen Shore, and are known cannibals.

Even among wildlings, they are seen as savages, wild and barely cultured, but fierce warriors. It is a testament to Mance Rayder's negotiation skills that he managed to broker peace between the ice-river clans and the sled-riders, uniting them to march together in his army.

Harma leads the vanguard and is present at the Fist of the First Men, witnessing the aftermath of a massacre by the army of the dead.

During the wildling invasion, she is seen at Woodswatch-by-the-Pool and later returns to Mance’s main army. In the Battle Beneath the Wall, Harma urges Mance to kill Jon Snow, but their negotiations are interrupted. Harma is killed in battle against Stannis Baratheon's forces, and her head is placed on a spike.

Halleck bends the knee to Stannis with fewer than 1,000 wildlings and settles in Mole's Town. He and other wildlings later join Jon Snow's defense of the Wall, reasoning that if they could fight for Mance despite disliking him, they can do the same for Jon. This convinces many of Harma's followers to join them at Castle Black.
