Not necessarily. Honor is also to serve when you are the lord of a land. Go back to the last meeting with Rob and his bannermen. They all signed a pact declaring Jon to be the King of the North if Rob were to ever die. This seed was planted just prior to the Red Wedding, and it will play a role in the future (ughem... maybe... Jon? You there?).

What this does is put Jon in a position of choice: honor his duties to the wall (which he surely will question if he is still able to) or to his northern kingdom. The choice isn't easy, but I would say the most noble one would be to the Northern Kingdom.

Don't forget the end of ADWD. I think he's relieved of his vow.

But the dragon has three heads, right?

Are the 3 heads, Dany, Aegon and Jon Snow Stark Targaryen?


It's almost 100% that Dany and Jon are two of the three. But let me throw a wrinkle in: What if Tyrion is #3? The Mad King raped Tyrion's mother, so it is possible that Tyrion could be a Targaryen as well. It would also explain Tywin's complete hatred for him, especially if there is no way to be sure. I'm not sold on this theory, but it is one that I've been mulling over, and I think it's interesting. Plus, Varys has always had great respect for Tyrion. Is there something he knows that we don't?
