So Andals could not worship weirwoods in Essos. That is very true but their entire history is bullshit. I believe in the lowest level of the House of Black and white their is a monstrous weirwood that connect the weirwood network from Westeros to Essos. Weirwoods are in caves underground throughout the the world. The religion started in the mines in Valyria. In the official artwork of the “Father” their is a weirwood plain as day in it.

Anthony Appleyard Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 We may need to know how far a weirwood tree (of each size) can extend its roots to meet another weirwood tree's roots. And what sorts of country and climate weirwoods can grow in. Likely a full weirwood connection from Westeros to Essos would need ability for weirwoods to grow in the Prince's Pass, or e.g. in the apparent higher pass by Yronwood; and further east along the wetter land all along the lower south slopes of the Red Mountains, and then the (then unbroken) Arm of Dorne to where Tyrosh is now. And after the Arm broke, whether a full connection could survive underwater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are all weirwoods united and controlled either by one over mind or some kind of collective? Or does there exist many "political entities" among them? So there is a possibility that real reason why Andals came to Westeros was civil war among weirwoods and some of them "hired" some axemen just to wipe out other weirwoods.

Anthony Appleyard Posted November 25, 2020 Author Share Posted November 25, 2020 In a sept, is there any evidence as to whether the 7 images were arranged:- (1) Along the wall of the (7-sided or circular) sept room, all facing inwards. (2) All on a central circular platform, facing outwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple sets in villages probably the latter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Appleyard Posted December 6, 2020 Author Share Posted December 6, 2020 The arrangement "All seven on a central circular platform, facing outwards." would fit better with the idea of the seven also being one, because, e.g. if the seven images all backed against a central pillar, the pillar could represent the union of the seven into one.
