Night's Watch
"[T]he Night's Watch, the sworn brotherhood that has defended the Wall over centuries and millennia, born in the aftermath of the Long Night, the generation-long winter that brought the Others down on the realms of men and nearly put an end to them." - The World of Ice and Fire[1]
The Night's Watch was an order of men who have sworn their life to manning The Wall and defending Westeros from anything which may lurk North of their defenses.
