Summary

A classic episode, published January 29, 2014. A deep look into the bloody eyes and mouths of the Heart Trees. Are the trees a conduit of the Old Gods or are the trees themselves the Old Gods? Bran's chapters give us endless clues, but there are also hidden references elsewhere. We bring it all together and break it all down.

But some of the white trees are thought to be older than all the sentient races and they are seen as both objects of worship and
