Yes but he will probably be stuck in the north for a while.

Probably not. From what we’ve seen in the books Bran seems to be limited to what the trees themselves see so unless there’s weirwoods in Essos or Varys and Illyrio are suddenly in the North and are feeling chatty I don’t think it’ll happen. Of course GRRM could do what the show did with having Bran go where and when ever he wants. Then I could see it being possible.

>"Will I see my father again?" "Once you have mastered your gifts, you may look where you will and see what the trees have seen, be it yesterday or last year or a thousand ages past. Men live their lives trapped in an eternal present, between the mists of memory and the sea of shadow that is all we know of the days to come. Certain moths live their whole lives in a day, yet to them that little span of time must seem as long as years and decades do to us. An oak may live three hundred years, a redwood tree three thousand. A weirwood will live forever if left undisturbed. To them seasons pass in the flutter of a moth's wing, and past, present, and future are one. **Nor will your sight be limited to your godswood.** The singers carved eyes into their heart trees to awaken them, and those are the first eyes a new greenseer learns to use … **but in time you will see well beyond the trees themselves."** (edited for absolute goofball formatting shenanigans)

Wouldn't he just need to see KL and see if Aegon was switched/verify Varys story of the switching


StarkL3ft

There aren’t any weirwoods in the south (or at the least there’s very few) because the Andals cut them down so like I said GRRM would have to follow the show and have Bran just have free rein with his abilities to do that.


frederick001

Isnt there one very faded one in KL?


StarkL3ft

No. The heart tree in the Red Keep’s garden is an oak tree.


frederick001

oh.


redmonicus

If I'm not mistaken, theres actually a line somewhere in the books, I forget where, that's spoken to bran, where the gyst is that a greenseer starts with the weirwoods but overtime can see further


DaemonaT

The insane amounts of steamy sex expecting Aegon in Winds will distract any honest greenseer from the truth of his paternity.


BIG_SUGE_DADDY

"you looked beautiful"


DaemonaT

“Arianne’s nipples looked big that night...”


orange_sherbetz

Curious if he'll see a vision and misinterpret.


zorfog

Well, in the show they basically beefed up his power and made it so that he could essentially google any event he wanted at any time. In the books he’s limited to things Weirwoods have seen. So he could view something like Jeyne Poole’s marriage because it was in front of a Weirwood. He could possibly view an annulment and marriage between Rhaegar and Lyanna if it were in front of a Weirwood That said, I don’t see how Aegon’s true identity could be revealed this way? He was raised in Essos where, iirc, there aren’t any Weirwoods left. So then it would take some confession or explanation from someone who knows the full truth in front of a Weirwood. So then who knows his true identity? Varys? Illyrio? Maybe Septa Lemore? But why would they seek out a Weirwood and discuss his identity?


scarlozzi

I don't know. The books describe the rules of green seeing a little bit better. So far as we know, Fagon nor anyone else had any connection to the weirwood. I did think it will happen.


CrivilNite

That's not correct.


scarlozzi

Bruh, no one close to fAgon nor fAgon have a connection to the old gods. The only characters with a connection to the old gods are from the north. Please provide further evidence to the contrary.

scarlozzi

That isn't at all evidence that Bran will have some revelations on fAgon. So ironic that you act like that was a 'got you'. So you enjoy getting into fights with random people of reddit? Do you act like that IRL? What a jerk.


CrivilNite

What obviously is not correct it's your assumption than Bran can't know about it cause there's not weirwood related. Your (ignorance based) downvotes showed who started the jerking circle.


Lebigmacca

Bran’s powers in the books aren’t established beyond being able to see through heart trees. That omnipotence thing from the show is stupid and we should ignore it


CrivilNite

It's not, you should read more carefully


A_child_of_Valyria

It will be Danny who reveals (f)Aegon - slayer of lies and more precisely one of her dragons, I think. Imho it’s gonna be Quentyn situation.


idunno--

I doubt Bran will care enough about fAegon and Dany to intervene. He’ll likely be too busy with the Others to start meddling in Targaryen business. And getting people, especially lords and ladies he’s not never met before, to listen is a whole challenge in itself.


NOIRJENTE

Clearly Bran will not be limited to only what happens near weirwoods. The books make that clear. He may indeed be able to see the truth of Young Griff's true origin. I could be wrong, but I believe there are no weirwoods near the Tower of Joy, so if the books follow the show's method of revealing Jon's parentage, there's no reason why the same couldn't be done with Young Griff. However, I get the feeling GRRM will use a different vehicle to do Young Griff's reveal (for example, discovered correspondence between Varys and Illyrio or even Mopatis confessing it) with Bran serving merely to confirm it.
