Although it's the forces from the Vale who ultimately swing the battle in Jon's favour, it's thanks to the wildling forces that they were even able to mount an attack in the first place.

Led by Tormund and the now-deceased Wun Wun, they're all courageous fighters who gave their all for Jon Snow. Now that the battle is over, though, where will they go? It's not clear how many wildlings are even remaining after the battle - Tormund said he had around 2,000 fighters, and a good amount were probably taken out in the fight - but those who do remain need to go somewhere. Are they just going to go back to Castle Black or somewhere like Mole's Town, or will they stay around as part of Jon's army?

Of course, the biggest concern here is Tormund, who is the one wildling remaining in the North to be a fleshed-out character. As one of Jon's right-hand men, will he remain at Winterfell, or, as leader of the free folk, will he go wherever they do?
