He has learned a bit about the wall, having sent agents to investigate the strange rumors. Meanwhile, fey on the other side have sent their own agents to determine what is wrong with the wall and whether humans are still a threat. The Warden of the North might have learned of the fey and is considering using them to pave his way to the throne. In return, he'll offer to guarantee that humans will never invade the fey realms - if he's king, that is. Now he just needs to secretly contact a fey agent and arrange things.Of course the fey may not be idiots, in which case they'll suspect the Warden's intentions (what's to stop him from invading after he becomes king?) So they are using him to destabilize the realm. A powerful, well-governed nation on their doorstep is potentially far more dangerous than a chaotic nation wrapped up in its own civil wars.Also, you could have factions within the fey. Some (the descendents of the fey who originally enslaved humans?) are more inclined to use nasty methods to ensure their safety. Others may be hoping for some sort of peaceful understanding, or are trying to re-empower the wall.</blockquote>
