angelodebo Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I was re-reading a Game of Thrones..(tons of foreshadowing in the first book)In Catelyn's chapter ( the chapter where Bronn battles Ser Vardis Egen in Tyrion's trial by combat)..she mentions that there is a small garden in the Eyrie and "no matter how much dirt they brought up from the Vale a Weirwood Tree would not take root"The Arryns are 100% Andal and the purest blood of all the Andal houses! Why would they attempt to grow a Weirwood Tree? When re-reading, I thought that was strange. The Andals destroyed on hte Weirwoods because they believed they were used by the First Men & the Children as a weapon. So why would the Arryns want such a weapon inside their impregnable castle?

LucionLannister Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 The castle was probably built by the First Men thousands of years before the Andals arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBrother55 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 The Vale is still pretty close to the north....the Arryns might still keep to the Old Gods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
