When Jon refuses, the wildlings turn on him but Jon, with the assistance of Bran's direwolf Summer (Bran and company are hiding in a nearby abandoned tower), kills many of the wildlings and escapes to Castle Black. After climbing the Wall, the wildlings press Jon to murder a homeless man. Mance seeks the legendary Horn of Winter to shatter the Wall. Jon and his captor Ygritte also begin a sexual relationship. Jon convinces Mance that he is a deserter from the Night's Watch and learns that the Others are driving the wildlings south towards the Wall. During Tyrion's escape, he strangles Shae and kills Tywin in his privy before fleeing Westeros. Outraged, Tyrion swears revenge on Jaime, Cersei, and Tywin, and tells Jaime he murdered Joffrey and that Cersei took other lovers while he was Robb Stark's captive. Jaime reveals that Tyrion's first wife Tysha, who Tywin had gang-raped by his garrison and forced Tyrion to participate, was not a prostitute as Tywin told him, and genuinely loved Tyrion. Tyrion is again condemned to death but is freed by Jaime and Varys. Oberyn nearly emerges victorious, but is ultimately killed by Gregor, although the poison on Oberyn's spear leaves Gregor dying in agony. Tyrion is approached by Prince Oberyn Martell of Dorne, who offers a trial by combat against Cersei's champion, Gregor Clegane, who he knows was responsible for the death of his sister Elia. Against Tyrion, Cersei recruits the spymaster Varys and Tyrion's lover, Shae. He tells her to keep her oath to Catelyn, to find Arya and Sansa and return them home. Jaime frees Brienne and gives her a sword reforged from Ice, Ned Stark's sword. Jaime refuses to believe that Tyrion killed Joffrey, rejects Cersei's advances, and becomes Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, but refuses his father's offer of Casterly Rock, whereupon Tywin disinherits him. Jaime's severed right hand becomes infected, but he is healed by former maester Qyburn, who was thrown out of the Citadel for forbidden experiments, earning Qyburn the admiration of Cersei. Jaime and Brienne reach King's Landing to find that Joffrey's younger brother Tommen Baratheon will inherit the throne Tyrion is on trial and the Tyrell bannermen blame Brienne for Renly Baratheon's death.
