In Game of Thrones (novels) why did Lysa Arynn ever want a weirwood tree up in her mountain top castle? The weirwoods are part of the old gods but Lysa is a follower of the Seven. She wanted a godswood in the high garden near the clouds, but no trees ever managed to grow. Why would a southern woman of the Riverlands be interested in growing a weirwood tree? It seems odd because the weirwoods are sacred only to the northerners and wildlings beyond the Wall. She does not come across as a spiritual character at all. Perhaps she wanted to tap into the magic of those trees for selfish reasons or she just wanted a pretty garden. It seems very ominous and unexplained. The High Hall at the Eyrie castle has a throne made of weirwood and the dreaded Moon Door is made out of weirwood too. It isn't certain if the old gods and greenseers are able to use furnished weirwoods to have visions.
Howls ^^
