Foreknown Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 (edited) Suppose the high sparrow met Beric after his resurrection and the high sparrow asks him what he saw after his death. Beric tells him there is no other side and he saw only darkness. Also he somehow meets lady stoneheart and Jon snow and he gets the same answer from them. How would he respond to this?

hnv Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Does the faith have a notion of afterlife? We have some vague saying on the Father judging the dead but we don't have a clear image of what that entails. actually part for the drowned god, the afterlife is strangely absent in most religions of Westeros we encounter.

In AFFC Cersei claims that Ser Osney will get a taste of the Mother's sweet milk in the afterlife. And of course, there are Seven Hells that according to Lancel "await sinners who do not repent their sins". As per the original question... I don't think that the High Sparrow would be particularly troubled by that. The fact that they have no memories after their deaths could be explained in multiple ways: theIr soul still hadn't departed their body, the gods erased their memories to avoid revealing too much to the other mortals, the gods knew that they would be revived so they didn't allow them to enter the seven heavens... It's not difficult to justify. On the contrary: the very fact that they were revived after dying proves that the soul doesn't die with the body, and therefore, there has to be an afterlife.

Curled Finger Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Judge them as transgressors against the Faith of the Seven and tell them of the great rewards they would have had if they'd chosen the right gods? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
