The Old Gods of the Forest are nameless and faceless, found in the trees and streams and natural elements of forests. The history of the Old Gods begins with the Children of the Forest who were the non-human first inhabitants of Westeros before the arrival of the First Men. The Children of the Forest are responsible for the carving of faces into the sacred Weirwood trees worshipped by followers of the Old Gods that can be found all around Westeros, though primarily in the North.
The Children of the Forest and the First Men battled for a time until they reached peace whereby the First Men agreed to never cut down another Weirwood tree. Eventually, only the Houses and regions north of the Neck remained loyal to the Old Gods.
The religion of the Old Gods is one major thing that separates House Stark from the other major Houses that tend to worship the Seven.
Before Bran, the Three-Eyed Raven was located in a great weirwood tree supported by the last of the Children of the Forest which may have assisted his powers. The only greenseers explicitly mentioned in Game of Thrones happen to be devoted to the Old Gods, so it may be that the gods gifted the Starks, especially Bran, with these powers. Also referred to as the New Gods, the Faith of the Seven is the most widely adopted religion in Westeros, and the closest tied to the Iron Throne.
The religion worships one god with seven facets: The Father divine justice, judges souls of the dead , The Mother mercy, peace, fertility, childbirth, the strength of women , The Maiden beauty, purity, innocence, love , The Crone wisdom, foresight , The Warrior strength and courage in battle , The Smith creation, craftsmanship, labor , and The Stranger death, the unknown; rarely prayed to.
The Seven are worshipped in seven-sided temples called Septs, with Septons men and Septas women serving as priests and the High Septon as the head of the Faith. The Faith has moral rules and regulations given the holy text of The Seven-Pointed Star and highly organized rituals such as how weddings are performed. Before House Targaryen conquered Westeros , the Faith Militant the military-like force of the Faith passed judgment and enforced regulations.
Lancel Lannister becomes a Sparrow, disavowing his title as a Lannister and, in confessing his sins, reveals his incestual relationship with Cersei and how he assisted her in killing Robert Baratheon. Cersei reveals Loras Tyrell's homosexuality and Margaery Tyrell's complicity , leading to their arrest by the Sparrows. The Drowned God has a niche following, serving as the guiding religion for the Iron Islands. Devotees admire combative, maritime, and piratical raiding skills. Theon is the Game of Thrones character that reckons with the Drowned God the most, as he was born in the Iron Islands and is heir to its lordship, though was raised in Winterfell as a ward where those around him worshipped the Old Gods.
