a song of ice and fire - Why we have no (or close to none) children of the forest in the north but beyond the wall


Alright my history and geography on Westeros might be a little shaky so feel free to correct me on any presumptions


So , Westeros was covered with the children of the forest from the north to Dorne before the First Men came .


After the first man set their foot on Westeros there was a big war between them and the children of the forest which lasted for centuries if not decades.Finally there was a truce and Westeros was split between the first man and children of the forest .


As per the truce, the children got the deep forest and the first man the rest...now we are to believe that henceforth the children dwell in the forest INCLUDING THE FOREST OF THE NORTH ..... until the Andals came in.


With the ships of the Andals landing on Westeros several years after the truce ,the Andals burned and ravaged the deep forest settlements of the children and pushed them north. Thus decimating the population of the children.


My question is if the Andals were solely responsible for desolating the children of the forest in the south and pushing them north why is it we don't find any Children of the forest in the north where they can't be hurt by the Andals and would be protected by the truce (between them and the first men)


The books however tells us that the only place the children live now(found at) is beyond the wall(at least for sure ),


I understand and accept the children of the forest being driven to extinction anywhere but the north .


Well I know that truces can be forgotten and the first men could start killing the children again but I highly doubt this as the north is big and thus the first men should not have any reason NOT to share it the children and breaking the truce(considering they remenber and hold honor high).Also they now share the same religion as the children so cultural hatred would be dampened as well.



And even in the case of north-men eradicating the remaining children in the north why is there no mention of this in history as by this time the Maesters were a thing in Westeros.

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

game of thrones - Is Syrio Forel dead?

In the episode 'The Pointy End' (Season 1 Episode 8) when Arya runs from the Lannister guards you hear the sound of a sword being dropped (around 4:56): [embedded content] After that neither Syrio or Ser Meryn Trant is never mentioned or seen in the show again, except when Arya mentions to the Hound that Ser Meryn Trant killed Syrio. Is there any mention in the books that Syrio actually dies?

tolkiens legendarium - Difference between elves and dwarves blacksmithing in the Lord of the Rings

Both the elves and the dwarves were famous for their metal work in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but what is the difference between what they made, and which one had the better skill of making amours and swords? Answer James Christopher's answer sums up the second part of your question well, but as to the difference in what they made, a little more detail is needed. Once the Elves learned to forge with steel, the shape of the sword changed, now being able to take on the form of a great broadsword or a light and agile curved sword. Additionally, they took great pride in decorating their swords. As we see in the Lord of the Rings , some swords like Sting had magical properties such as glowing blue when orcs are near. As far as the use of Mithril, lotr.wikia has two contradictory passages: Thus, Elven blades became renowned as great weapons, capable of performing deeds beyond the skill of their handlers and were even more glorious when the use of Mithril was allowed to the Elves. ...

How do Pokemon trainers collect their winnings?

According to Bulbapedia , Prize money is the money that a Trainer pays out at the end of a battle. So we know that the money comes directly from the trainer that just lost, and not some third-party committee or sponsor. But how is this done? It can be easy seeing the random trainers who challenge you along the way wanting to wager and then, after admitting defeat, sticking to their word and handing over their hard-earned pokebucks. Then there are the likes of Team Rocket and Giovanni, who also give money once they lose. This doesn't seem like something people in a criminal organization would willingly do. From this it appears that trainers have no say in whether or not they cough up the dough after losing, but I can't find anything on how exactly the funds are transferred from loser to winner. So how do Pokemon trainers receive their winnings?
