Religion is critical to the societal trends and forces in Game of Thrones. Westeros's dominant form of worship throughout the story is the Faith of the Seven. They pray to one of the seven faces of the same deity, each representing an aspect of life or death. Though the Seven isn't the only god on the continent, it was forced upon the people of Westeros thousands of years after the First Men arrived. Before that, the Old Gods of the Forest reigned supreme.
