Clearly the Eyrie is above the tree line, so why did they even try to establish a Godswood up there? The Arryns appear to lack the understanding of what a tree line is because in the book universe they only offer up thin rocky soil as the reason why they couldn't get a weirwood to take root. Maybe they thought that having the garden protected by the walls of the caste would be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, coastal mountains and mountains in extreme locations have much lower treelines than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not relevant to the argument, of course, but I am just wondering. If you don't care what others think, or if it exhausts you, why bother? I bothered because you seemed legitimately confused by the magical teleportation. But yea, I get tired by the willful dismissal of clear and simple explanations in favor of convoluted nonsense.

I just find it strange that the Arryns, who selected such a high snowy peak above the treeline to build their castle on, were unaware that trees can't grow above the treeline.
