DireNorthWolf Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Brand new to posting here and can't find anything in the forums discussing this topic. The wildlings seems to have ancient knowledge of things past that humans deny (warging, Others, Giants, etc.) but there is no mention that they know the Children are still among them. Has this been explored? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Alysanne™ Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Osha did know the children still exist, I don't think all wildings are the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DireNorthWolf Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 Thanks. I guess based on the varied theories about the Children and their role to play, I was curious why they weren't included with Mance in the journey south. I assumed they either stayed hidden, refused to go, or were even working with Mance from afar. It's clear that magic protects their cave, but not as clear how they get out to get food, supplies, etc without allies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The histories tell us that there were greenseers aswell as wood dancers among the CotF, so I guess the wood dancers are the warriors and probably the ones that would go hunting., based on the way Leaf moves quickly and her referring to Bloodraven as the Last Greenseer, then I would assume she is a wood dancer and there may be a few others amongst her. Based on that I think it would be safe to say that her and the other wood dancers are the ones that go hunting, and that may be how they get their food.

The Mountain That Flies Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Wildlings may be semi-aware of the COTF still existing (and as noted Osha certainly is), but that doesn't mean they have a means of communicating with them. The only children we've seen have been hidden in a warded cave, so it's very possible they shy away from all humans, not just kneelers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DireNorthWolf Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 I'm assuming the tunnels from that cave would go far and they could get some basic grubs etc for food there, but the books say their camouflage is for the woods, not snow. It would seem like they would be seen by the wildlings while hunting at some point as food is scarce there. A better explanation would be that the wildlings leave them food at the cave like Craster leaves babies for the Others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
