A Song of Fire and Ice pantheon?

Uruush · Dec 27, 2003

I have tried to google for this, and I'm not finding them all browsing through the books either. Can anyone tell me who the 7 deities of the Faith were?
Thanks.

I believe they go like this:

The Mother, the Father, the Smith, the Crone, The Warrior, and that's all I can remember off hand.

I think there's also The Stranger...

That is always true. I maybe didn't keep at it long enough. Thank you all. I am trying to come up with a homebrew pantheon that is a little different from the standard nine based on the D&D alignment mechanic, and I wanted to know what the 7 were from ASOFAI as reference.

They are just aspects that people equate to stages in life and occasionally occupations. Me I prefer the nameless gods of the North. They are more fun.

They are cool. I thought while reading the series that in a D&D version of the books, the devotees of the old gods would be druids, with clerics being for the 7 gods of the Faith.

Let's see now...

Mother: Healing, Home, Water
Father: Law, Sun, Air
Smith: Forge, Fire, Earth
Crone: Oracle, Inspiration, Truth
Warrior: War, Strength, Protection
Stranger: Travel, Trickery, Chaos
Maiden: Good, Luck, Beauty

Some domains from The Book of the Righteous. Something like that...

What about Rhellor, the Sun God? I'm thinking he would be Fire, Law, and maybe Destruction. And maybe good.

There are quite a few pantheons running around in SoIaF. R'hllor (I always assumed it was pronounced as rell (rhyming with well)-orr (like what you extract metal from)) isn't part of the main pantheon of Westeros. He's from over the ocean, IIRC. The Free Cities, I think.

Regarding alignment, I wouldn't say good, but can't really explain without spoilers, if you haven't finished the books yet. So read on if you're done.

I really don't think that R'hllor is good at all, unless the lady with Stannis isn't really a priestess of him at all. At most, he really encourages a lot of questionable acts in his name - look at all the horrible things that the Red Lady has done. That sure looks like black magic to me. As the god of flames and shadow, there's a lot of leeway for what his alignment is. I certainly wouldn't call the Red Lady anything even vaguely resembling good.
