The raven brings the Sight,” being able to see the past and the future, “or things that are happening right now, thousands of miles away.” Except, of course, it’s all pretty jumbled.īran got a blast of this mash-up Sight when he touched a weirwood heart tree, and had tons of random images downloaded into his brain: another heart tree on a hill, the three-eyed raven, Ned Stark in the Black Cells of King’s Landing before his execution, a murder of crows, White Walkers, an empty throne room with snow falling, himself falling from the tower from a vantage point he couldn’t have seen himself, a dragon’s shadow over King’s Landing, and the heart tree once more. “The raven is something different, something deeper.
