John Suburbs Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Sorry if this has already been posted, but I find it interesting that now that we know the CoTF are able to see the world not only through the Heart Trees but just all sorts of animals as well, including ravens. That means they are intimately familiar with just about everything of importance that has happened in Westeros since the First Men arrived by virtue of the fact that ravens are used to relay messages from house to house. Also, isn't it interesting the GRRM puts some kind of animal on the scene at key events, like the seagull at the Kingsmoot, the dog at Joffrey's wedding, crows etc. at every major battle... The CoTF are not as cut off from the goings on in the world as it would seem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaxis Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I don't think they are seeing through EVERY animal in Westeros that we read about, that's just unreasonable. I mean, there's only a few dozen of the Children left, they can't be everywhere at once, not to mention they likely don't care at all what goes on in south, especially when few weirwoods remain there. Fact is, animals show up everywhere because, well, they simply live everywhere. Ravens are more significant in the story for obvious reasons, but even then, there are thousands of ravens used for messaging in Westeros, and we shouldn't assume they're all being monitored, or even if any are. The Children are far more concerned with more immediate dangers, like the Others. Now, is it possible something interesting was going on with the raven that got Jon Snow elected? That seems quite plausible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Winters Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Yes, it's like the theory that Bloodraven is Skinchanging into Balerion the Cat, in the Reed Keep, to spy on the GoT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iskandros Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Interesting idea. Although I don't think there are enough CoTF left to monitor everything. It makes me very sad that they are close to extinction :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kienn Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 It's not all the CotF though, it's only the ones with the gift, of which we haven't seen any - BR explains that such are marked by their Green or Red eyes. So really it's only BR himself seeing everything, if anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
