house of dayne Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 besides house blackwood and i guess possibly house royce (?), do we know of any other southeron houses who keep the old gods?..it seems to be implied that the blackwoods are not the only house to resist the seven, but i havent found any mention of who or where they might be..any ideas?

Scootaloo Stark Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 The wiki says in the entry of House Blackwood that they were one of the few houses below the Neck to worship the Old Gods. But in the Old Gods entry it says that they're the only. I guess currently, they are the only house left. After the Andal invasion, there were a few, but now there's only one. The wiki also says that there were multiple converts from the Faith. The one we know of is of course Sam Tarly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
house of dayne Posted August 28, 2016 Author Share Posted August 28, 2016 im thinking there might be some minor houses not yet deeply portrayed by the events..from the stormlands, house rogers is a possibility..they married into the starks and that would seem to imply a kinship of faith...

Blackfyre Bastard Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Nimble Dick boasts how the blood of the First Men runs "dark and strong" among the people of Cracklaw Point. Might be that some of them still keep the Old Gods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
house of dayne Posted August 28, 2016 Author Share Posted August 28, 2016 Spoiler ill suggest perhaps house fowler of the red mountains of dorne..they too are of old men blood...there is no mention of them submitting to the andals or the faith and only finally surrendered to the martell rhoynar alliance..

Curled Finger Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 It's curious that there is actually a Godswood at the Red Keep. These things don't just spring up in a couple of decades. It's probably safe to assume it's been there for a very long time, leading me to believe the Targs may have had some respect for northern gods. If not the Targs, who would cultivate a godswood?

BRANDON GREYSTARK Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 They all believe in the Old Gods as evident when Robb was winning , they believe it was because of the old gods . See A Clash of Kings Tyrion chapter . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macgregor of the North Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 House Blackmont of Dorne. Possible old gods worship and skinchanging. "Benedict of House Blackmont, who worshipped a dark god and was said to have the power to transform himself into a vulture of enormous size."

Flavia Gemina Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 The three sisters, being so remote, seem likely candidates. Perhaps house Borrell or Sunderland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They never worshiped the Old Gods, not even before the Andal invasion. They have their own gods, the Lord of the Skies and the Lady of the Waves.

Godswoods are considered a "Thing" for westerosi castles, even knew ones. There are no weirwoods in the red keep as it was built well after the andal invasion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raisin' Bran Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I know that it is an accepted idea that correlates skinchanging with worship of the OG's. But does anyone have a quote to back that up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Game of Thrones - Catelyn I The Tullys kept a godswood, as all the great houses did, but it was only a place to walk or read or lie in the sun. Worship was for the sept.
