DrRobotnik Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 "Always the artists".It looks like the Zerg symbol.If Westerosis are Terran, who is Protoss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xcorpyo001 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 The Children are Protoss, of course.And the weirwood are their pylons. Note that after the First Men and the Andals started cutting them, they had to move north because they couldn't survive or maintain their force fields anymore.So sad you specified no spoilers....I could have given you a Dark Templar example from aDwD.And you also forgot to mention that the Wights are infected Terrans.

bluemoon Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 When they zoomed out from the middle i thought it was going to be a follow the yellow brick road/follow the horses head kind of thing,would have been great if they had arranged the heads to spell lol and make it so big you can see it from the top of the wall.

Arkash Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 These are weird, really ! I dont remember if it was the same in the books ? No, IIRC it was just a bloody massacre, there were no shapes of bodies aint it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StannisandDaeny Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I don't believe so.The people from Essos are the UED, btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unhit Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Best thread! :DIf the Westerosi are Terran, are the Dragons BCs?Also, followers of Rhllor = Protoss - they want to purge the Zerg with fire! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, IIRC it was just a bloody massacre, there were no shapes of bodies aint it ?I sure hope that's now how it was described in the books. That scene made no friggin sense to me. Why would what is essentially a horde of mindless zombies leave a pattern like that behind? As a warning, a deterrent? Surely the massacre itself would be warning enough, why bother arranging the heads in a neat pattern? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wights (reanimated corpses) are mindless zombies seemingly controlled by the White Walkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could just be ritualistic. Why do humans bother with tombstones and cemeteries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as the pattern of the dead wildling camp in the very first scene of the Season 1, Episode 1. Intimidation and/or marking their territory.Whatever it is, it is frightening as hell and a great touch.No, it's not in the books, but I love it.

StannisandDaeny Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 The point of not being able to understand them is making them more scary - for all we know they may be doing it on purpose simply as a scare tactic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weirwoods are their pylons! :DThat is why the Others can't get into Bran's cave in DwD. Three-eyed crow has great force field micro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
