Ah, so they aren't immortal or anything?

Actually, on the subject, what is the physiology of the Children?
Like, how do they age, reproduce, how long does it take for them to grow "of age", and so on?

We might as well ask while we're here, so long as we can phrase it in a way that isn't creepy of course :V

No they are not immortal. For instance Speaker-to-Men, or Leaf to use the name Bran gave her in canon, is entering late middle age at roughly two hundred.

Ah, so they probably live around 300-400 years, if they die of old age with a natural lifespan?

That's still pretty good.
I'm assuming they can also expand said lifespan if they really wanted to through some sort of Old Gods magic, like Bloodraven has done.

Thanks for being so patient with my questions btw, really appreciate it :)
 
@Duesal mayhaps we should ask him for what he personally needs? Little, (or not so much) things, to make his existence in this state he's in now, a bit better?
Though there's more narrative sense to do so just before leaving...

Sure, I don't see why not. We can bring the stuff to him when we come to visit to pick up the dragonpen.

Do they enter long periods of hibernation or stasis? Or are memories shared between them in some manner? I always get the impression they are speaking with the weight of millennia of history at their backs.
 
Hm. A thought- bloodravens has been up here all alone for what, 60 years? Hes probably touch starved as hell. We may very well make him cry with a hug. I like the sound of this.
Edit: time corrected

Also, with the giants, we were told they take forever to make decisions. Dropping by to give them an alternative offer to trying to negotiate their way through the wall and saying we'll return in a year to hear their answer is probably reasonable.

They would probably actually prefer that, to asking for them to give us an answer next week.

It's been a while, but in the early days of the quest, we always called Bloodraven our Greatest-uncle.

Let's see if I can parse this out before I go to bed Daeron II was Brynden River's brother

The Royal line goes Daeron II -> Maekar I -> Aegon V -> Jaehaerys II -> Aerys II --> Viserys (technically III).

So that would make Bloodraven Viserys' great-great-great-granduncle.

And with that bit of genealogy I bit you good night, see you in the morning with CotF encounters and more.
 
Just realized something, Ser Richard is level 13 and on the front page it mentions that Oberyn is level 9 and and in the books he fought on even terms with Gregor Clegane, does this mean that Richard is higher leveled then The Mountain?

I should hope so.

  • [X] Speak with the Children of the Forest again
    -[X] From the bottom of your heart thank Bloodraven for tolerating all of your many questions. He truly has been a good and caring uncle to you and Dany, and you will be sure to speak to him when you can.
    --[X] Give Bloodraven the bag of attuned obsidian sand so you can speak with him more regularly.
    --[X] Ask Bloodraven if there is anything he personally needs. We could retrieve it for him when we next visit.
    -[X] Talk to Soft Strider and Speaker to Men in particular and learn more of them.
    -[X] See if they and any other Singers would be interested in accompanying you to Sorcerer's Deep and staying there. They could see the world as magic reawakens, they could teach people of the Old Gods, they could meet many new creatures (minotaurs, Tritons, fey, Little Valyrians, etc).
    -[X] If they wish it, we could even take them to visit all over the rest of the world. Westeros, Essos, the Free Cites, etc. We could even look into their distant kin that Bloodraven told us about in Essos, the Ifeqevron.
    -[X] We could even take them to visit other planes entirely should they wish it.
    -[X] More than that, you would greatly appreciate any help in preparing for the Long Night.

Assuming that the Mountain hasn't leveled up a ton as well.
Considering he works for the Lannisters, who got their hands on a bunch of magic goodies and have likely been fighting relatively high level things to get those goodies, I wouldn't be surprised if Gregor was a higher level than he would be in canon.

Well, it's a few years before canon yet. Oberyn/Mountain probably made 11th, as that's one of the big milestones for melee with third iterative. But probably.

Gregor Clegane is probably higher level now than he would have been at this point in the canon timeline, but we still have eight years or so until canon would have started. He's almost certainly not at that level by now.

That said, there's a good chance he has enchanted gear. I would be very surprised if he wasn't equipped with at least a +2 sword, shield, and suit of fullplate, something thing increases Strength and Constitution, and perhaps something that confers temporary HP, like an Amulet of Tears. Tywin is pragmatic enough to have invested quite a bit into his favored attack dog, given the rising threats plaguing the world.
 
The Mountain likely has gained magic items, alchemical cocktails, and has been fighting monsters for the Lannisters, so I wouldn't be 100% about it...

But Ser Richard is likely rivaling most of the best and brightest knights from the entire History of the Seven Kingdom in pure skill at this point, and then you add in all the magical gear he has...

Of course, there's also no reason to let him fight those battles on his own...
 
Alright, here is the more-or-less completed Bloodraven Questions List.

We got a truckload of relevant and useful information, and even some useful goodies and rituals.

What questions we didn't get the chance to ask aren't too urgent, so no harm there.
