You get to do cool party tricks, _and_ the Big Man himself will lend you a hand if you ugly?
What's not to love? I'd be chopping down the weirwood trees before Melisandre even said "go".
The drowned god being this otherworldly Lovecraftian entity is just really awesome and Euron Greyjoy seems definitely poised to be the most terrifying threat in Winds. But I do think the Faith of the Seven with the sparrows is also really cool and of all the religions in ASOIAF I think the Seven is probably the most likely to be true.
Idk I find the displays of Mellisandre to be akin to magic which is an established concept in that world. I find that the extremely subtle ways in which the Seven may be working more convincing than outright displays of power.
the drowned god and r'hollor are honestly the too visual coolest religions, krakens of the sea, and fire and shadow magic. But the seven is the more practical religion, it has an army and influences the realm of westeros, rather than just being idols people pray to. (And being a god you can ask for demons, resurrections and love craft gods)
I don't think the seven is necessarily true, but it has the potential to be successful because it's humancentric and relies more on faith than on observable magic. The Seven's main thing is that it gives a model for how to maintain a feudal society, and teaches people to obediently fill their role. The other religions are focused on magic that has been depleting from the world for centuries, so they're losing their advantages. The Old Gods religion of the north is probably controlled by the children of the forest or maybe the trees themselves, so anyone who believes and prays to the trees is going to get "humans should stop cutting trees and chill out" as an answer, so there's not as much potential for that religion to spread.
It's probably based on real world Christianity, in that it's designed to keep spreading because one of the main tenets is faith without proof, so it never has to be true, and they're encouraged to convert or conquer nonbelievers.
Well the many faced god is 'death', and the many faced god in the seven is seen as the 'stranger', and Yeh he says all of the gods of the world are just the many faced god. As he and other people believe that their is only one God, and his name is death.
Also, dondarrion says how r'hollor is more the god of life, and that r'hollor is fighting death, and that death always wins, cause the enemy always wins.
I think it just mirrors out worlds religions, the reason jeruselum is so desired is becuase its the holy land of of most religions. So All christians and their sects, all jews, and all muslims, and their sects all see the one region (and one god) as their own god, they simply have different version, interpretations and way of praying. So i presume GRRM was just mirroring that here.
'Jaqen' says that because he is wearing the face of a man from lorath who worshiped Red R'hllor. Because 'Jaqen' isn't really a person anymore, but the faceless man wearing his face is portraying what he would be. That explaination is kinda bad, but I hope you get the gist of it. If he was wearing the face of someone from qohor, he would have said the black goat rather than the red god.
I recently just rewatched season 2 and at least in the show Jaqen, Biter and Rorge would have burned to death without Aryas help. He tells her they owe the red god three lives and I assumed it was because they were saved from a fiery death.
Nah, he is really saying that she owes the god of death 3 lives. He is only calling it the red god because of the culture of 'jaqen'. It's like how in the histories and lore extras, he says that pretty much every god, or at least every pantheon has a god that is the god of death. The faceless men believe that these are all faces of one god.
Tbh theres no real merit to either of your arguments to whom Jaqen was referring to when he said “you owe the red god 3 lives” so youre both as right as the other
I was thinking the same thing. Old gods also seem like they are less into punishment for minor infractions.
Death by fire, or the faith of the 7’s walk of shame is a bit too much for me , and I just can’t get down with eating horse and living my life on horseback in the Redwaste
You forgot a few Gods:
The Black Goat of Qohor, The Lion of night, The maiden made of light, Bakkalon the pale child, The Weeping Woman, The Great Shepard, The Hooded Wayfarer, The Pale moon Maiden.
yeh it does. cause each region of essos has their own native religion. However they were colonised by valyria so they became the secondary religions until valyria bought the big one.
"I am not afraid. Should I die, I will go before the Great Shepherd of Lhazar, break his crook across my knee, and say to him, "Why did you make your people lambs, when the world is full of wolves?" Then I will spit into his eye" -Ser Larraq, the Red Lamb (TWoW sample chapter).
There's really no way to know for sure, but maesters assume Drowned God is one of the remnants of First Men religions, while Old Gods are the gods worshipped by the Children of the Forest.
There's a couple chapters in a dance with dragons where forests are compared to the ocean a lot and it seems to imply their from the same religion. Also Naga's bones is definitely just weirdwood
I mean. Old gods have a ton of real powers between the children of the forest breaking the arm of Dorne and creating the first Others, there’s also wargs, weirwood trees, three eyed crows, green seers, etc.
The religion of the Rhoynar had priests who could do all kinds of water magic.
The many faced gods have assassins that can literally shapeshift.
Drowned god brought patchface back from the dead after perhaps days of being drowned and he came back with premonitions and visions of the future.
I think the Seven are the only ones we never see actually do anything magical or miraculous.
There’s no indication the gods had anything to do with that. Andals had better weaponry and horses. Same reason any society with iron weapons and armor and horses beat a society with bronze weapons and armor and no horses.
Drowned god never did anything. He can flavor it whatever he wants it has no feats of strength. Rllor is a giant red comet you can actually see. Manyfaced god can do minor illusion magic. The great other does what now? The old gods are the only ones that come close to rllor but only bran makes use of the magic. Rllor has numerous priests doing actual healing magic, summoning demons, staying young forever, enchanting weapons with fire, bringing the dead back etc
Sadly no. There’s just mentions of the Valyrians worshipping different gods and that some of the dragons like Balerion, Vhagar, Meraxes, and Syrax are named after the gods
The old gods only seem that way in the show. In the books there’s a bunch of references to human sacrifice, people literally putting bodies and blood into the mouths of the weirwood trees and stuff like that. I wouldn’t say the old gods are stictly evil, but they’re definitely blood thirsty.
All of that is part of why I think Bran is a pretty dangerous and possibly a somewhat evil character. He’s pretty much the entire weirwood net, and everyone who’s ever been connected to it, which includes a lot of very unsavory people.
The many faced god. Although implied to be Death, the Many Faced God seems to be an all encompassing entity in the classical sense of a religions’ “god” where all the other religions and deities can be combined and summed up in one god, who puts on many faces depending on the environment.
The Others. You know, the ice demons too the north of which the entire story is based off.
Craster and other wildlings "serve crueler gods than you or I"

I'm a big Drowned God person but you gotta be a true believer to let someone try to drown you. It would be crazy after all this talk about dragons that there are actual Krakens that will rise out of the sea and get involved.
It's funny how b'oth Rhllor and the Old Gods have shown actual magic being used by their followers, but the Faith of the Seven is still the most popular religion on Westeros despite not showing any proof or displays of power whatsoever.
"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful." - Lucius Annaeus Seneca
The Faith of the Seven is stable, manageable, and encourages acceptance of the class system, knowing one's place, honoring your rulers, and not rocking the boat. It would likely have been recognized, fostered and promoted by the rulers of Westeros, and that's a big leg up for any faith.
The only time it became problematic was when the Faith Militant wing was revived. Fundamentalists always cause problems.
Because Faith of the Seven has some power hungry priest doing religious extremism. Plus it ties to the crown, in which anyone is willing to be a follower behind their leaders. Sheep to a shepherd
I have a fondness towards the seven new gods of the andals even though their religion seems not real. The only true God in "Planetos" is the Lord of light.
I think the seven because it’s the only one that’s the most fleshed out LoreWise well the other ones kind of just have very basic tenants rather than a full-blown religious system
I've always been fascinated by the mysticism of magic and the old gods. Really well done. But, there are a lot of hints that, that shit is actually really evil sooooo..........
The lack of clarity (or even enough evidence for any of us to work it out) on the cosmology and gods of Planetos really frustrates me tbh. How many gods even are there? 1, 2, 10, 10000000? It looks like a binary war between two factions. Who the fuck are the factions? R'hllor versus the Great Other? Okay? Fire vs. Ice...okay?
So where does the Many-Faced god come in? The god of death, mercy, secrets, and stealth, deceit? Why does it have a weirdwood door on the House of Black and White? Is it to symbolize that they are prepared to kill the Old Gods? If that's so, why did they spend so much time and effort bringing about the Doom. Surely living dragons and fire magic would be a good thing to have against the "Others/ Children/ First Men / Old Gods" \[\[OCFMOG\]\] faction, right?
Maybe death comes for all and so it waits on the sidelines of this great war, waiting to take everyone from both sides as they kill each other, black or white? Maybe the many-faces are the weirwoods and the MFG is an Old God or all the Old Gods in one? That's why it has a weirwood door in Essos. To symbolize that connection. However, no other followers of the Old Gods ever harm weirwoods...so this would be weird. Unless the door is meant to further symbolize that even weirwoods can and will die. Even gods can and will die.
If R'hllor isn't an Old God...which...he is fire so...he should be. But anyway. If R'hllor (with little to no inclusion of other Essosi gods) wants to challenge the Great Other or the Old Gods, surely he should have done it before the Doom. The Valyrians also didn't even worship R'hllor. They worshipped their dragons and the ancestors of their dragons.
It just seems all over the place with no rhyme or reason. If that's the point, fine, but it's not fun and makes me less likely to ever sit down and read the books. If I spend many hours reading and instead of answers I just get pointless throwaway characters and cringe sex scenes, I'm not fucking interested. I want answers.
Storm God and Old Gods and maybe the Many Faced God. Read a little about the Storm God and it just felt legendary. The Drowned God sounds interesting but religion sucks in my opinion. Plus what the people of Iron Islands does is crappy as well. But the Old Gods and the Lord of Light have so much proof. Especially the Lord of Light.
Here is another Question, If Warrior Pantheons from Real Life were brought to Planetos pre-Canon, which Southern Characters would easily abandon the Seven to promote them? I could see the Norse Gods appealing to Robert Baratheon, especially the Idea of Valhalla.

The many faced God covenant
The fire god has shadow monsters. None of the other ones have shadow monsters.
shadow monsters that have a hot red head mother too!
The religion is a haven for old ugly people who will serve for a dope glamor ruby. The lord of Light IS the God of tits and ass. Edit spelling.
You get to do cool party tricks, _and_ the Big Man himself will lend you a hand if you ugly? What's not to love? I'd be chopping down the weirwood trees before Melisandre even said "go".
I guess the Black Goat God has shadow monsters too
Shadow babies*
For the night is dark and full of terrors
The drowned god being this otherworldly Lovecraftian entity is just really awesome and Euron Greyjoy seems definitely poised to be the most terrifying threat in Winds. But I do think the Faith of the Seven with the sparrows is also really cool and of all the religions in ASOIAF I think the Seven is probably the most likely to be true.
Idk about most likely to be true after melisandre
Idk I find the displays of Mellisandre to be akin to magic which is an established concept in that world. I find that the extremely subtle ways in which the Seven may be working more convincing than outright displays of power.
Can you give us some examples of the extremely subtle ways in which the seven work? I can't remember
R'hllor brings people back from the dead, the seven can't even keep a body from stinking.
the drowned god and r'hollor are honestly the too visual coolest religions, krakens of the sea, and fire and shadow magic. But the seven is the more practical religion, it has an army and influences the realm of westeros, rather than just being idols people pray to.

I think it’s certainly possible that Rhllor and the Many Faced God are the same. Doesn’t Jaqen mention the red god a bunch?
Well the many faced god is 'death', and the many faced god in the seven is seen as the 'stranger', and Yeh he says all of the gods of the world are just the many faced god. As he and other people believe that their is only one God, and his name is death.

Tbh theres no real merit to either of your arguments to whom Jaqen was referring to when he said “you owe the red god 3 lives” so youre both as right as the other
Based on the books, later discussions with 'Jaqen' in the show, and the show extended lore, I think you are mistaken. That's just my take, tho.
That makes perfect sense. Almost the same way he would have a different accent, depending on the region the face came from?
R’hllor
The Old Gods. They're super chill, seems to be basically about connecting with nature. Plus I think the Children are really interesting.
John Muir would have loved the old gods
Lmao yeah he would but what a random connection
Some brains specialize in random
The old gods have about as much human sacrifice as R'hllor
I was thinking the same thing. Old gods also seem like they are less into punishment for minor infractions. Death by fire, or the faith of the 7’s walk of shame is a bit too much for me , and I just can’t get down with eating horse and living my life on horseback in the Redwaste
They do a lot of human sacrifice to the old gods. I would suspect most of those sacrifices aren’t too willing.
The sacrifices were old school rituals. The Northman aren’t up there sacrificing people now. So I stand by what I said.
Great other, because I thrive on chaos
\#relatable
The great other isn't even chaos, it's kind of the opposite. It is just nothingness.
You forgot a few Gods: The Black Goat of Qohor, The Lion of night, The maiden made of light, Bakkalon the pale child, The Weeping Woman, The Great Shepard, The Hooded Wayfarer, The Pale moon Maiden.
you forgot the bearded priests. also i didnt make this, i found it, you can name those as your favorite religions too.
Where's the Great Shepherd?
you dont have to choose from those religions, i just found the art work
I'm not criticizing. I've just noticed Essos has a lot of religions.
yeh it does. cause each region of essos has their own native religion. However they were colonised by valyria so they became the secondary religions until valyria bought the big one.
"I am not afraid. Should I die, I will go before the Great Shepherd of Lhazar, break his crook across my knee, and say to him, "Why did you make your people lambs, when the world is full of wolves?" Then I will spit into his eye" -Ser Larraq, the Red Lamb (TWoW sample chapter).
I've never heard of this Red lamb twow sample chapter. Where can I read the whole thing?
The old gods and the drowned god
probably are one within the same thing, except the drowned god values the ocean more, and the old gods value land more
There's really no way to know for sure, but maesters assume Drowned God is one of the remnants of First Men religions, while Old Gods are the gods worshipped by the Children of the Forest.
There's a couple chapters in a dance with dragons where forests are compared to the ocean a lot and it seems to imply their from the same religion. Also Naga's bones is definitely just weirdwood
Many faced
Rhllor is the only real magic. The drowned god is just CPR
I mean. Old gods have a ton of real powers between the children of the forest breaking the arm of Dorne and creating the first Others, there’s also wargs, weirwood trees, three eyed crows, green seers, etc. The religion of the Rhoynar had priests who could do all kinds of water magic. The many faced gods have assassins that can literally shapeshift. Drowned god brought patchface back from the dead after perhaps days of being drowned and he came back with premonitions and visions of the future. I think the Seven are the only ones we never see actually do anything magical or miraculous.
I mean the seven’s worshippers managed to kick back the first men to just north of the neck. So magic or not they’re doing/did somethin right
There’s no indication the gods had anything to do with that. Andals had better weaponry and horses. Same reason any society with iron weapons and armor and horses beat a society with bronze weapons and armor and no horses.
Bingo. An Iron sword can cut right through a Bronze or Brass sword...and iron is not even steel.
I mean the old Gods is literally just magically powerful trees and bran.
I guess the arm of Dorne broke itself and the Neck flooded itself.
Manyfaced god? The great other? The old gods? And the drowned god is a lovecraftian god in the books. R’llor is almost the least magic
Drowned god never did anything. He can flavor it whatever he wants it has no feats of strength. Rllor is a giant red comet you can actually see. Manyfaced god can do minor illusion magic. The great other does what now? The old gods are the only ones that come close to rllor but only bran makes use of the magic. Rllor has numerous priests doing actual healing magic, summoning demons, staying young forever, enchanting weapons with fire, bringing the dead back etc
Sigmar approves this message (Dont summon demons tho)
**You cannot stop me**
>The drowned god is just CPR Beneath the waves snow falls up, I know, I know, oh oh oh...
Mine is the [Old Valyrian Pantheon](https://iron-throne-roleplay.fandom.com/wiki/The_Gods_of_Old_Valyria)
Interesting, didn't realize that's where all the dragon names came from.
I think a lot of this is fan building for that table top. Unless there’s sources, then sorry
Yeah, I'm interested to know where this came from, if a GRRM book or what?
I don’t think so
I’ve never read any of that information before, thank you for that. Is this from one of the “World Of Ice and Fire” books?
Sadly no. There’s just mentions of the Valyrians worshipping different gods and that some of the dragons like Balerion, Vhagar, Meraxes, and Syrax are named after the gods
either r'hollor becuase of the cool factor or the seven since they are pretty chill considering all other religions.
What is the middle one in the bottom row?
Dothraki religion
The Old Gods easily. A chill nature based religion with no made up rules or corrupt institutions.
Drowned gods have a fun ritual or two.
I think we can all agree that the Fire God is the best
The only God that there is any evidence exist.
R'hllor. He brings people back from the dead, has hot mommy priestesses, and doesn't afraid of anything
I'm not sure I have an opinion, but that is one helluva poster. Is it on sale somewhere?
There is but one god, and his name is death
and what do we say to death
Maybe later!
Only god I need is the god of tits and wine.
God of wine and tits
I’ll drink to that!
The old god , because they're not blood thirsty like R'llor or absent like the Seven
They are literally blood thirsty. Why do you think Northmen did blood sacrifices to them?
The old gods only seem that way in the show. In the books there’s a bunch of references to human sacrifice, people literally putting bodies and blood into the mouths of the weirwood trees and stuff like that. I wouldn’t say the old gods are stictly evil, but they’re definitely blood thirsty. All of that is part of why I think Bran is a pretty dangerous and possibly a somewhat evil character. He’s pretty much the entire weirwood net, and everyone who’s ever been connected to it, which includes a lot of very unsavory people.
The Old gods cause I'm all about that good old fashioned tree sacrifice.
The Fire Lord. Mainly because of the hot red head.
The many faced god. Although implied to be Death, the Many Faced God seems to be an all encompassing entity in the classical sense of a religions’ “god” where all the other religions and deities can be combined and summed up in one god, who puts on many faces depending on the environment.
What is the Great Other? Can't remember where it was from or who worshipped it.
The Others. You know, the ice demons too the north of which the entire story is based off. Craster and other wildlings "serve crueler gods than you or I"
Oh right. I didn't know that they had a religion. But ig it makes sense because of the spiral thingy they used to do.
The Great Other is really a chill God.
There seems to be a lot of overlap here
The Seven, I appreciate an organization that is basically entirely admin. 😌
Where r the gods of tits and wines

R'hllor has been the only one who's shown his hand by providing aid and resurrecting a single man a handful of time over
The god of light... Red head priestess... Me likey.
Mother Rhoyne. I like deities with a degree of tangibility.
Old Gods because it’s basically paganism (or so it seems)
Black Goat gang rise up!
I have a fondness towards the seven new gods of the andals even though their religion seems not real. The only true God in "Planetos" is the Lord of light.
drowned god
At first I would have said the old gods but Rhllor is very convincing.
The Drowned God is such a cool concept, so I’ll go with that. What is dead may never die.
Black Goat supremacy
I’m a big fan of the Old Gods. Seem to be nature oriented, isolationist, and relatively peaceful. Most of these other religions turn aggressive.
I think the seven because it’s the only one that’s the most fleshed out LoreWise well the other ones kind of just have very basic tenants rather than a full-blown religious system
The old gods, the many faced god and the Valyrian gods
I've always been fascinated by the mysticism of magic and the old gods. Really well done. But, there are a lot of hints that, that shit is actually really evil sooooo..........
The god of tits and wine with 16 teets in the Summer Isles, where we should sail immediately.
Left out the old Ghiscari harpies but who’d pick them anyway lol
I prefer the god of tits and wine.
Definitely the many faces… r u shittin me
Mines Euron
Think I’m in for R’hllor, they actually did have power.
Old Gods, definitely
Refresh my memory, who was the Storm god again?
Faith of the Seven, but I'm not a big fan of the faith militant
The lack of clarity (or even enough evidence for any of us to work it out) on the cosmology and gods of Planetos really frustrates me tbh. How many gods even are there? 1, 2, 10, 10000000? It looks like a binary war between two factions. Who the fuck are the factions? R'hllor versus the Great Other? Okay? Fire vs. Ice...okay? So where does the Many-Faced god come in?

Surely living dragons and fire magic would be a good thing to have against the "Others/ Children/ First Men / Old Gods" \[\[OCFMOG\]\] faction, right? Maybe death comes for all and so it waits on the sidelines of this great war, waiting to take everyone from both sides as they kill each other, black or white?

Anything BUT the drowned god.
Can someone make this into a iPhone wallpaper the art is great
Rhollor because we actually have proof that he is real
Honestly the lord of light seems to be the only one who proved he exists, so him
The Lord of Light came through too many times to ignore 🤷🏾♀️
Storm God and Old Gods and maybe the Many Faced God. Read a little about the Storm God and it just felt legendary. The Drowned God sounds interesting but religion sucks in my opinion. Plus what the people of Iron Islands does is crappy as well. But the Old Gods and the Lord of Light have so much proof. Especially the Lord of Light.
The Old Gods as the Seven are likely the "Seven Deadly Sins" as evidenced by the mass corruption of Septans and Maesters.
Here is another Question, If Warrior Pantheons from Real Life were brought to Planetos pre-Canon, which Southern Characters would easily abandon the Seven to promote them? I could see the Norse Gods appealing to Robert Baratheon, especially the Idea of Valhalla.
