Featured Scene: Season 2, Episode 1: The North Remembers - On the King's Road, Arya Stark has escaped from King’s Landing, disguised as a boy. It is also part of weirwood lore from the Game of Thrones novels that greenseers can see through the eyes of the carved faces in heart trees, so that may also come into play if any greenseers survived the White Walker siege on the cave in season six. In fact, the iconic trees have been used as a filming location in HBO's epic series Game of Thrones, representing the Kingsroad. It's unclear if the White Walkers couldn't enter the cave because of the tree itself or some kind of spell that uses a weirwood, but since there are weirwoods south of the Wall, they could come in handy to create safe havens from White Walkers. The weirwood tree where Bran meets the former Three-Eyed Raven has special power, as it had kept the Night King and his army out of the cave (at least until Bran was marked by the Night King during one of his wargs).

Legend says that the carvings were done by the Children of the Forest, the nonhuman race that aligned with the First Men tens of thousands of years ago to fight the White Walker invasion of Westeros. Special weirwoods, called 'heart trees,' have faces carved into their bark. But unlike the white pine, which sports regular green leaves, weirwood trees are festooned with brilliant red leaves. Weirwood is a tree similar to the North American white pine, with a wide trunk and white bark.
