The Old Gods
Concept
The nameless nature deities worshipped primarily in the North and by the Free Folk beyond the Wall. Worship centres on weirwood trees with carved faces (heart trees), found in godswoods throughout Westeros. The religion predates the arrival of the Andals and was originally the faith of the Children of the Forest, who carved the faces into the trees. The old gods have no priests, no holy texts, and no songs - their worship is personal and silent, conducted before the weirwood.
