Wildlings are a group of people living beyond the Wall in the fictional world of A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin. They are often referred to as the Free Folk and have their own distinct culture, traditions, and way of life, separate from the kingdoms of Westeros. Wildlings are known for their survival skills in harsh environments and their nomadic lifestyle, often moving with the seasons. The Wildlings are led by various chieftains and are united by a common goal of freedom from the rule of the Seven Kingdoms. They face threats from both the harsh climate and supernatural beings like the White Walkers. Their interactions with the Night's Watch and characters like Jon Snow highlight the complexities of their society and the challenges they face.
