Greenseers were the wise men and leaders of the children of the forest who had magical abilities, including power over nature and greensight.[1]
History
Greenseers had the greensight and were wargs as well.[2] The First Men believed that they were responsible for carving faces into weirwoods, creating heart trees.[3] Stories describe the greenseers seeing through the faces of their weirwoods, influencing animal and plant life,[4] and possibly seeing into the past and future. Maesters are skeptical of some feats of the greenseers.[1]
During the war of the First Men and the children of the forest, greenseers are said to have turned trees into warriors[5] and sent beasts against humans.[6] As the tales go, they used the hammer of the waters to shatter the Arm of Dorne into the Broken Arm and the Stepstones, but the First Men continued to settle throughout Westeros.[3] The Neck was also flooded by their magic.[4] The greenseers and wood dancers of the children agreed upon the Pact with the First Men at the Isle of Faces.[3]
The Starks of Winterfell slew the greenseers allied with the Warg King at Sea Dragon Point.[7] During the Andal invasion, Erreg the Kinslayer is said to have defeated greenseers at High Heart, although True History insists that the children had already left the riverlands before the Andals arrived.[8] Gwayne IV Gardener, King of the Reach, sought assistance from greenseers in anticipation of Andal attacks.[9]
Only one in a thousand is born a skinchanger and only one skinchanger in a thousand is born a greenseer.[10] While most children has golden eyes, the eyes of greenseers are red or green. They are not robust or long lived, but can linger within weirwoods. It is also known that humans can be born greenseers just as they are born wargs.[10]
The relationship between the greenseers of the children of the forest and the order of the green men who protect the Isle of Faces in the Gods Eye is unknown.
Greenseer heeft met de First Men en het noorden te maken. House Strong zegt in de boeken af te stammen van de First Men.
quote:
Lady Daenys Targaryen, called Daenys the Dreamer, was a noblewoman of House Targaryen and the daughter of Aenar Targaryen, a nobleman from the Valyrian Freehold and the Lord of Dragonstone.[2]
When Daenys was still a maiden,[5][4] she had a powerful prophetic dream, showing the destruction of Valyria by fire. In 114 BC, her father, Lord Aenar Targaryen, heeded her dream and sold his holdings in the Valyrian Freehold and moved his family and all of their belongings to Dragonstone, an island in the narrow sea off the eastern coast of Westeros. With them, they took five dragons, including Balerion. When the Doom of Valyria came twelve years later, House Targaryen was the only family of dragonriders which survived.[2]
Dat wat sommige Targaryens hebben noemen ze "Dreamer" en heeft volgens mij geen verbinding met de First Men. Al heeft Bran Stark in GoT ook dit soort dromen (Greensight). Hij droomt dat de zee Winterfell binnen komt stromen voordat Theon Greyjoy daar binnen valt.
