These nameless deities of stream, forest, and stone are referred to as the ' old gods' because the gods of the Andals, referred to as the ' new gods', replaced them in all but the north of Westeros. įollowing the Pact between the First Men and the children of the forest, the majority of the First Men eventually set aside their own gods and adopted the gods of the children as their own. In addition, they also continue to believe in the Drowned God's eternal enemy, the Storm God. The ironborn, who are considered by most to descend from the First Men, worshiped the Drowned God before the Andals came, and continue to do so. In the Kingdom of the Storm, the sea god and his wife, the goddess of the wind, were worshiped.
Their worship ended with the coming of the Andals, who introduced the Faith of the Seven. The Sistermen of the Three Sisters believed that sacred storms were the result of the Lady of the Waves mating with the Lord of the Skies. The First Men worshiped unspecified gods before they arrived in Westeros. Worship before heart trees, by Bill Corbett © Fantasy Flight Games
