Vaegon the dragonless Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 10 hours ago, Victor Newman said: Those trees are very old. The seedlings must have been fed and nurtured with people's blood during ancient times. Bran saw one of his ancient Starks cutting open the throat of an unfortunate victim to give his flood to the Winterfell weir tree. But that is pure speculation, we have absolutly no indication that the weirwood needs blood, none. That "sacrifice" (Im not convinced it is) does not indicate that the weirwood needs blood, if it is in deed a sacrifice than the hearttree represent the gods, the same way that a statue would so you would make a sacrifice infront of it either way.

The FM brought bronze weapons to Westeros, and also the practice of the one who condemns another is the one who swings the sword, the death could have been a sacrifice, an execution or a murder.

The Lord of the Crossing Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 The weirwoods were tended by murderous savages who bled people for the trees. They were murdering people and offering the blood to the trees. The number of trees would naturally decrease as the number of savages decreased. Fewer gardeners, fewer trees.

Only 89 selfies today Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 The cult of pagans who worshipped the trees started to dwindle. Nobody was planting them. Human blood is perhaps needed to make the trees thrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
