House Mormont

Jorah Mormont

the Andal (as the Dothraki call him)

House: exiled from House Mormont of Bear Island; wandering in Daenerys Targaryen's service and disfavor by turns

Last confirmed somewhere within Meereen's chaos, his standing with Daenerys Targaryen unresolved and his health, by report, not what it was.

Having delivered Tyrion Lannister to Daenerys hoping it would buy back a pardon that his old spying had already spent, Jorah instead finds himself banished from her presence a second time — and the record of what happens to a disgraced knight loose in Essos with nowhere left to go is not a flattering one. He and Tyrion are wrecked, captured by slavers, and dragged through the ruins of Valyria, where something in the stone men's touch leaves a grey patch spreading from his sword arm that no maester the text has consulted knows how to stop. Sold at Meereen to the slave-trader Yezzan zo Qaggaz, he is put to work in the reopened fighting pits — a lord's son and a knight of the Seven Kingdoms, killing strangers for a Ghiscari master's coin, closer to Bear Island in blood than he has ever been in circumstance.

The arc of Jorah Mormont

This carries the character’s road through the published novels. Read on only if you do not fear to know.

Jorah's second banishment from Daenerys's court strips away every excuse he had left for the spying that first exposed him, and his subsequent slavery and greyscale infection read, in the text's own arrangement, less like misfortune than consequence — a debt collecting interest. Whether Meereen's chaos delivers him back into Daenerys's service, or simply kills him, the published chapters do not yet say.

Where the books leave Jorah Mormont: Cast out of Daenerys's service a second time upon delivering Tyrion Lannister to her at Meereen — she has not forgiven the old spying, whatever debt his more recent service might otherwise have earned him — Jorah's exile within his exile takes him through slavery, the fighting pits, and a disease that does not go away once caught. By the record's last word, he remains alive, afflicted, and still, against all sense, trying to find his way back to her.

These partings name deaths, endings, and roads not yet ridden in the books. Unveil them only if both roads are known to you — or if you do not fear to know.

Why is Jorah Mormont banished from Daenerys's service a second time?

Bringing her Tyrion Lannister as a gift does not erase his earlier confession that he once spied on her for the Iron Throne; Daenerys sends him away again despite the delivery.

How does Jorah Mormont contract greyscale?

Traveling through the ruins of Old Valyria with Tyrion Lannister, he is caught by 'stone men' — greyscale-ravaged sufferers driven half-mad — and the disease begins spreading from his sword arm afterward.
