The second is the Belief in the Seven Gods, located in most of Westeros.

The Faith of the Seven Gods, also known as the New Gods or the Seven Gods, is the closest religion in A Song of Ice and Fire to a real-life religion.

It is similar to Catholicism in more ways than one.

Like the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), the Church of the Seven believes that there are seven sides to God, each of which is unique.

The Heavenly Father who represents judgment, the Madonna who symbolizes motherhood and reproduction, the samurai who depicts strength, the maiden who represents purity, the blacksmith who symbolizes craft and labor, the old woman who is a wise man, and the stranger who represents death and the unknown.

However, there are also people in Westeros who treat them as separate gods.

The Andorrans of Essos had founded the religion shortly before the conquest of Westeros—some of whom believe that this new religious fervor inspired the invasion.

Upon arrival, the Andorrans established the Seven Gods as the primary religion of Westeros, and the structure of this belief was more rigid than that of the Old Gods.

The sanctuary, the temple of the Seven Gods, was erected and filled with male clergy with friar rank (female clergy, i.e., nuns, usually performed their services at Notre-Dame).

A religious document known as the "Bible of the Seven Stars" lays down rules for followers of the Seven Gods, including condemnation of gambling, female recruitment, same-surname love, and incest.

Like any other religion, the Seven Gods have different interpretations and different hierarchies.

The most relevant of these are the "sparrows", a group that helps the poor and does not allow the rich to do evil simply because they have power.

Their leader was known as the Sparrow and was eventually appointed archbishop.

In this position, he witnessed the reorganization of the Order's armed forces, a religious army that had been disbanded.

The Seven Gods have been the most widely practiced religion in Westeros for generations, but the landscape is subject to change.

For example, Cersei Lannister blew up Baylor Cathedral in King's Landing, which for a long time was the center of religious worship for the Seven Gods - it was almost like she destroyed the Vatican.

Furthermore, since part of Cersei's goal was to rid her of the Sparrow and his Order, given what they had done to her, it seemed unlikely that she would be in a hurry to rebuild the Sanctuary of the Seven in King's Landing or elsewhere.

However, the loss of the bishop benefited the Lord of Light.

The third is the Red God Rahlo, location: most of Essos, Dragonstone Island, Empty Mountain.

Rahlo, also known as the Red God, the Lord of Light, or the God of Fire and Shadow, was probably the largest religious figure in the kingdom.

The people of Westeros may not have heard of him (except for Melisandre and the Brotherhood Without Banners), but he was a big figure in Essos, and the region of Lahlo that believed in him stretched from the Free City-States to Asha.

The envelope Rahlo is strict and absolute, and all other gods and beliefs are false gods and pagans.

When we first see the red-robed priestess Melisandre, she is burning the sculptures of the Seven Gods, while the so-called blasphemers are being maimed or killed for opposing the Lord of Light.

In any case, this is not unfounded, as the clergy (the red-robed monk and the red-robed priestess) seem to be allowed to use magic capable of resurrecting the dead, casting charms and illusions, and creating smoke shadow killer monsters from **.

Although the Rahlo faith is monotheistic, it is also dualistic in nature.

Much like the characters of Judaism and Christianity, God and Lucifer, legend has it that Rahlo has been at war with another powerful character, the evil god of ice and death.

They believe that the demons are evil gods who bring about the destruction of the world, and that only the prophetic hero Azor Ahi can stop them.

It's no secret that Lahlo will play a major role in this season – and not just because Sam and Gilly are apparently working on the myth of Atholl Yahai in the upcoming episodes.

The Faith of the Seven Gods is bogged down in Cersei's devastating Game of Thrones, Daenerys brings the power of Essos to Westeros, and Jon Snow is proof that Laherlo's magic may be true.

This Game of Thrones may not only be a battle for the Iron Throne, but also a battle to determine the future of faith.

All in all, if the Lord of Light has a solid plan for how to defeat the Wraiths, then it might really be worth believing in.

The three major religions vie for dominance in the kingdom, but there are more than just three religious systems in the world.

Other religions may be smaller and more isolated than the Big Three, but they also play an important role in the series, and may even shape the future of Westeros.

For example, Drowning God, location: Iron Islands.

George.. Martin has already shown that the concept of the Iron People is inspired by the ancient Vikings, and that the Drowned God borrows a bit from Norse mythology.

Followers claim that the Drowned God created the "Iron Seed" to promote robbery and plunder, and their beliefs have justified their piracy for generations.

For an iron man, paying money to buy it was considered blasphemous, and killing a person and taking away what he had was more honorable than that.

The drowning religion emphasizes resurrection and baptism, and their king must drown before being crowned before being resurrected.

Similar to Rahlo, belief in the god of drowning is also dualistic, as the god of drowning is forever engaged in a never-ending struggle with the god of storms who inhabits the heavenly castle.

However, this belief differs from the Lord of Light in that only men can become clergy (drowned) because their society adheres to traditional gender roles. Obviously, Yara is an exception.

Another example is the God of a Thousand Faces, Location: Braavos.

The God of a Thousand Faces, also known as the Man of a Thousand Faces or the God of Death (although there is no such title in the book), is a god peculiar to Braavos—or more accurately, the Faceless.

It is a syncretistic religion in which its adherents respect the figure of death in different religions, believing that death is the only true God, but that people can pray to it in whatever form it is.

These forms include the Drowning God, the Stranger of the Seven Gods, Rahlo, the Black Goat (from Kohor), the Weeping Woman (from Reese), and even the Old Gods.

Believing that death is a gift, the Facelings mercifully kill those who seek death, completing assassination contracts with those chosen by death.

This religious system originated in the slave mines of Valyria.

Thousands of slaves were constantly confronted with their own deaths, and they created this religion that combined their different beliefs based on the principle that death is inevitable.

It is rumored that it was these slaves who led to the destruction of Valyria, but it is impossible to know whether the rumors are true or not.

There are also large horses, in the Dothraki Sea.

The Great Pony was an important religious character in the first season of Game of Thrones, when Daenerys was just adjusting to life as Carricy.

In the series, the Dothraki worship a horse god named the Great Horse, symbolizing the role that horses play in their lives and culture.

Their beliefs are somewhat like Hinduism, i.e., acknowledging the existence of other gods but not believing in them.

However, if they conquer a city and take possession of or destroy its religious sculptures, the Dothraki will think that they have defeated other gods.

The closest thing to the clergy among the Dothraki was Doshikarin, a group of intelligent Casa widows, who were believed to have a gift for prophecy.

After Daenerys was captured in Season Six, she was temporarily sent to them, until she later destroyed the Dothraki leadership and took control of the entire tribe.

This may have something to do with the prophecy of Dothraki's horse riding the world, believing that it would unify all the tribes and conquer the world.

Drogo Kao had thought it might be his unborn son, but it could also be Daenerys herself.

In short, religious issues must be paid attention to, and if you are not careful, it will cause disgust among some viewers.

When Li Yaoyang was writing, the main framework was still based on TV series, not that he didn't want to follow the version, in fact, he had watched both TV series and TV series.

For viewers who have not read the original book, the simplified story line of the TV series is undoubtedly more refreshing and easier to understand the plot, after all, watching the TV series is to relax, and most viewers are unwilling to waste brain cells to discuss philosophical issues.

But for readers who have seen it, the TV series is a bit of a taint on the work, after all, they prefer the more complex and large world structure in the TV series to the simplification of the plot in the TV series.

But here's the problem, because Game of Thrones is too popular, the progress of the TV series is much greater, and the TV series has been filmed, but it is not over yet, so that later, in addition to the characters figuring it out, the story and the original book almost deviated.

Of course, this is not a problem, Li Yaoyang's purpose is to create a classic that is loved by everyone, so the more complex the story, the better, and the more complex things are, the more difficult it is to understand, which is not in line with the original intention of entertainment.

Especially in the first season, you must pull the rhythm to the full extent and let the audience enter the story line as soon as possible, so as to catch their attention.

And the story of the first season starts with the wolf's throat and antlers.

At the northern end of a continent called Westeros, the High Lord Eddard Stark has just executed a mad deserter, and on his way back to the city with Stark's sons, he finds an ice wolf who has been impaled in the throat by a stag.

Contacting the Stark family's Running Wolf crest doesn't bode well.

At the strong request of his illegitimate son, Jon Snow, a litter of wolf cubs left behind by the Icewolf was adopted separately by the siblings.

When the former Prime Minister Arryn died violently, King Robert took Queen Cersei, Prince Joffrey and others all the way from the capital King's Landing to the Stark family's home city of Lindong, and personally appointed Ed as the new Prime Minister.

Becoming Prime Minister means leaving Stark's sphere of influence far away from King's Landing.

Although Robert and Ed are best friends and were engaged to Ed's sister Lyanna, Eddard's wife Catelyn is deeply concerned about this.

However, a secret letter forced Ed to make a decision.

Caitlin's sister, Lysa, the wife of the former Prime Minister, revealed to Caitlyn in a secret letter that her husband had been murdered by the Lannisters.

The Lannisters are a wealthy family in the West of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, and the maiden family of Queen Cersei.

If the secret is true, then King Robert can be said to be in danger without knowing it.

In order to assist and protect his friend, and to avoid being caught by surprise, Ed accepted the appointment.

Just as he was about to return to the court with the king, an accident happened.

Bran, the second in line in the Stark family, bumps into Queen Cersei and her brother and bodyguard Jaime for incest.

In order to kill him, Jaime pushed Bran down the tower and was seriously injured.

Bran's accident disrupted the original arrangement, and all the guests, with the exception of Prince Joffrey, showed at least ceremonial concern for Bran's injury, especially the naturally disabled dwarf, Tyrion Lannister.

Tyrion was the second son of the Lannisters, but he was the most intelligent one, and he was keen to guess that Bran must have seen something he shouldn't have seen.

However, Tyrion's purpose in coming to the North was to visit the Great Wall.

The Northern Kingdom guarded by House Stark is the northernmost of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, and is the vanguard of the Wildlings and other horrors outside the Fortress.

With the help of the Great Wall, the front line of the battle was a small number of volunteers and a large number of criminals.

The bastard Jon volunteered to join the Night's Watch and said goodbye to his loved ones before leaving, giving his sister Arya a dagger "Sewing Needle", and Tyrion, a tourist, traveled with him to the Wall.

Eddard took his daughters and subordinates with the royal family to King's Landing.

On the way south, Robert receives a secret message from the continent of Essos on the other side of the Narrow Sea, and Daenerys, an orphan of House Targaryen, marries a leader of the nomads.

The Targaryens, who ruled the Seven Kingdoms for three hundred years before Robert's House of Baratheon, initially conquered the continent with a small number of soldiers and three dragons, and created a powerful dynasty symbolized by the Iron Throne.

However, when the dragon became extinct and the Targaryens declined, a rebellion was eventually sparked by the abduction of Robert's fiancée, Lyanna.

Robert won the rebellion and took the throne, the Targaryens were exterminated, and only the siblings Viserys and Daenerys fled to Essos.

Two orphans, who were already penniless, met Illyrio, the champion of the king.

Illyrio was a governor who arranged for Daenerys to marry the wealthy and powerful nomad Drogo, the king of horses, in the hope that one day, the siblings would reclaim the Iron Throne with the support of Tableo.

For this reason, a priceless treasure that seems to be of little use was also presented at the wedding: three petrified dragon eggs.

Back on Robert's side, Robert knows the truth of cutting down the grass and wants to eradicate Daenerys before she becomes bigger.

Ed, who values honor, completely disagrees with this approach and stops Robert for the time being.

Bran has been unconscious since the fall, and his mother, Caitlin, has always been by his side, even in the event of a fire, but unexpectedly prevents the assassination of Bran by what he thought was a mysterious assassin.

This assassination and other clues convinced Catelyn that Bran had fallen to murder and that he had nothing to do with the Lannisters, and instructed her sons to guard Winterfell and secretly go south to King's Landing to inform Eddard.

As early as the banquet in Winterfell, Queen Cersei arranged for Sansa and Joffrey to marry Stark and the royal family, so naturally she tried to arrange for the two young men to be together.

As a result, on their way south, Joffrey was bitten by Arya's wolf in order to be a hero in front of Sansa, picking quarrels and provoking trouble among Arya's friends.

Cersei insisted on killing the wolf, but Arya had already let her wolf escape, Sansa's wolf became a substitute, and the queen and Stark's face were settled.
