The Free Folk are not necessarily fighting for a representative on the Iron Throne. However, they certainly would if given the opportunity. They are simply trying to defend their land and their right to govern themselves. A fragile alliance has been created between the many tribes of men north of the Wall to create the Free Folk. Some, like Harma the Truffle and the Lord of Bones (also called Clinquefrac), are willing to put aside their differences in order to fight a common enemy. New heroes also make their appearances, such as Ygrid the Spider, the raiding leaders Jarl and the Wader, and the Magnar of Thenn, king of his tribe. The northern lands are no place for the weak, and the free people will not hesitate to destroy anyone who would want to chain them down.
