Jon Sends Val to Find Tormund

Jon Snow sends the wildling princess Val beyond the Wall to find Tormund Giantsbane and negotiate the surrender of his wildling army. He offers Tormund and his people safe passage through the Wall, food, and shelter in exchange for their help in defending the realm against the Others. This is a risky move that further alienates him from his brothers, who see it as a betrayal of the Watch's ancient purpose.
