So who would carry the message? A crow- Samwell Tarly is close to Starfall, and so is Areo Hotah. It is a long way from Starfall to the Wall, so I don't think Wylla will unveil the secret to Jon, or at least not face to face. Ned knew this woman, and she knew him- enough for him to trust her with the lie (and with it, the secret).Īnyway, where is she? Maybe she's still in Starfall. Why would this Wylla agree to hold on to this secret? Why say she is the mother of a baby that is not hers? Why did Ned not create a non-existent character as Jon's "Mother"? The answers seem to imply this Wylla may have been more than a wet nurse to Ned (though not a lover, obviously). Maybe they parted ways in King's Landing. We know he does not reach Winterfell with Wylla, but with another wet nurse for Jon. When Ned Stark heads to Starfall, with baby Jon in his hands, to return Dawn to the Daynes, he must have stopped to find a wet nurse, one that would feed baby Jon up until the moment Ned leaves Starfall and possibly farther down the road to Winterfell. We know, or are lead to believe, that Nedayne and Jon are milk brothers. We know she is a woman(!) and we know that after the war she worked as a wet nurse (to Nedayne). Given her knowledge, I think whoever finds her along their path will instantly learn the truth (likely that R+L=J). She must know something, she MUST, and she also must show up somewhere at some time in the next two books. Why? She is a woman that pretends to be Jon's mother (she says so to Ned Dayne) and who Ned pretends is the mother (to Robert, at least). I personally disagree, and think Wylla (whoever she may be) will play an incremental role in the reveal. Most fans believe Howland Reed will be the one to unveil Jon's parentage.
