Why Didn’t Bran Stark Warn Arya About the West of Westeros?

Hey, Hive Community! Welcome to all Game of Thrones fans.

The season finale of Game of Thrones saw Arya Stark's journey with Sansa to the West of Westeros rather than returning to the North. He sailed with the fleet to an unknown location where the map ends. Could Arya Stark face any new dangers in the unknown west of Westeros?

A question has come to the mind of many Ice and Fire fans like me. That is - the current Third-Eyed Raven, New King of the Seven Kingdoms, Bran the Broken Stark should know everything. Bran Stark, the most powerful man in Westeros today, can literally see everything past, present and future. Anyone who can make a warg, man or beast, should know what could happen to Arya on the path she's on! If some great danger befalls Arya, why isn't Bran telling her anything?

Dear viewers, I will look for the answer to this question today. Hopefully my audience has watched the entirety of Game of Thrones, so I'm assuming most of you fans know the story of Bran Stark becoming the Third-Eyed Raven.

Why isn't Bran Stark warning Arya about West of Westeros?

Let me first summarize Bran the Broken's origin for those who haven't seen Game of Thrones yet. Jaime Lannister threw 10-year-old Bran Stark off the high walls of the castle after witnessing the Lannister siblings' illicit sexual relations. As a result, Bran is crippled for life, though not dead. However, we later find out—Bran was actually supposed to die! Behind her survival was the all-seeing Third-Eyed Raven Brynden Rivers.

In the world of Game of Thrones, these birds, black like crows but shaped like pigeons, are used to exchange letters, called Ravens. However, among these birds there is a mysterious Raven, which has a third large eye on top of its head. Three-Eyed Raven is basically a human with three-eyed powers, who can warg on any creature's soul. Bran Stark, although a helpless cripple, can use his power to enter the body of a direwolf to hunt, enter the body of a bird to climb high, and even rely on other people to fight! Not only that, Bran can see past events before his eyes and can predict future events as well.

In addition, from Hodor's story, we understand that Bran can affect the life of a person from the past so much that it changes the path of his present and future.

Now come to the question—

Why isn't this all-seeing King Bran Stark warning his beloved sister Arya about the West of Westeros?

There's only one answer—Bran himself doesn't know about the area. Because there is no Weirwood Tree in the turbulent seas of West of Westeros.

For those of you who have watched Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon Season 2, you know how important these red-leafed Weirwood trees are. Weirwood trees are spread throughout Westeros. To protect these sacred trees, the Children of the Forest created the White Walkers against the First Men. If a House Lord cuts down the Weirwood tree, they are cursed.

Bran's previous Three-Eyed Raven Brynden Rivers was attached to the hunt in this Weirwood tree. The Weirwood Tree is the driving force behind each Three-Eyed Raven's ability to see past, present and future. The roots of these trees spread underground throughout the Seven Kingdoms. So Bran could see visions with his hands on this tree.

In the House of the Dragon Season 2 Finale, Harrenhal's bastard Alys Rivers showed Daemon a vision of the future by placing her hands on the Weirwood Tree. Whereupon the Three-Eyed Raven was followed by Brynden Rivers, rooted underground.

Have you noticed a thing here? Like Alys, Brynden's surname is also Rivers, i.e. Brynden is a bastard child.

However, the West of Westeros map has not been created. Because there was no First Men, no Children of the Forest, because there is no forest.

So, no Weirwood Tree either! And where there is no Weirwood Tree, none of the powers of Bran or the Three-Eyed Raven work. So as Jon Snow departs for the Wall, Bran says—"He's going where he's supposed to be!" Because he knows Jon's future.

But he doesn't say anything to Arya, because she has no idea?

Meanwhile, there's been an evil theory about Bran for the last few years—Bran Stark, relying on Daenerys to become king of the Seven Kingdoms, destroyed King's Landing.

What do you think about this? Let me know in comment. Meanwhile, Arya Stark as well as Jon Snow's parents have a new show coming to HBO.
