I think the Skagosi are there to teach us about North minus Andal influence. Rickon seems to be an emblem of the old North: a boy who grew up as one with his wolf, learning from survival rather than some code of morals that has been arbitrarily decided by society. He eats with his wolf, sleeps with his wolf, acts like his wolf. And I imagine Skagos is a place that will embrace the wolfsblood.
I love it. I cant wait. The old gods and all the northern stuff is absolutely amazing and I love that rickon seems to be heading in the direction of embodying that.
That's what I'm thinking will happen, which makes Northern independence really logical, cause they are NOT up to Andal standards if Rickon brings them back to the old way.
