Bael's Bastard Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Is there a "Holy Land" for the followers of the seven? Is there any indication in the books of pilgrimmage from Westeros to the lands where the seven supposedly originated or were revealed? Militant followers of the seven have rebelled against Targaryen kings for things apparently forbidden by the Faith, but I can't recall anything about protecting or liberating the lands where the seven originate.

The Dragon has three heads Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Andalos technically, although the faith of the seven so far have shown no interest in reclaiming hugors kingdom...not when theirs plenty of money to suck out of westeros.

Snark_Tamer Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 It was the faith brought by the Andals, so wherever they came from, it seems likely there would be such a place, but I'm not sure we've seen or heard anything of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb-TheYoungWolf Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Well the faith of the seven came to Westeros with the Andals so if they have a holy land of origin it would be in Essos but honestly I think the faith of the seven is pretty much confined to Westeros now (some exceptions like Braavos). There are holy places in Westeros (the Quiet Isle) but I don't know if you'd call that their holy land. edit: Andals not First Men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snark_Tamer Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 The first men adopted the Old Gods--was that a CHANGE in faith? I was really under the impression it was the Andals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonardo Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 The andals holy land if there is one is south of Braavos and north of the old rhoynish lands. That's where Hugor's kingdom was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petyr's Little Finger Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 The Andals came from Andalos so if the Faith of the Seven had a holy land it would be there, but it doesn't seem like pilgrimage plays a role in the Faith of the Seven.

TheSovereignGrave Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Yeah, it seems like eventually the Andals essentially abandoned Andalos. So their former Kingdom, where the Seven supposed walked amongst men, doesn't seem like all too important a place anymore. Which is at least a little strange, I think.

TimJames Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 According to the ckii mod, there are still worshippers of The Seven living in Essos. This means that Andolas would be considered a holy place. However, I don't think The Seven have things like pilgrimages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twenty of House Goodmen Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 According to King Hugo of the Hill, the Seven promised him that the descendants of the Andals would have a great kingdom in a foreign land, so faith worshippers might actually see Westeros as the Holy Land.

Yeah, you can't just take something from an unofficial mod and use it as proof of anything. I recall one of the devs who works on the mod even saying that there's nothing about Andals still living in Essos, and he wants them removed from the game.

Doesn't Illyrio talk about the light of the Seven? Or am I mixed up and he's a R'hllorist? There's also a sept in Braavos. So I'm pretty sure that there are some following the Seven in Essos.

Lord Lannister Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Westeros has way too many domestic troubles(or seven kingdoms worth of foreign troubles) to be worrying about adventures across the Narrow Sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also a sept in Braavos. So I'm pretty sure that there are some following the Seven in Essos. I don't recall Illyrio ever mentioning worshiping the Seven. And as for the Sept in Braavos, that's probably because of how the Braavos have temples to pretty much every god of all the people who would conceivably visit the city and not because of any influence of Andals who remained in Essos.
