5 - Faith Information

[Apriori]

In Westeros, religion deeply influences politics, warfare, alliances, and daily life. Your character’s choice of faith grants unique abilities, significant roleplaying opportunities, and strategic advantages. Players select one religion at character creation, unlocking distinct abilities and bonuses as they progress. There are many religions, allowing members a choice between 5 different major religions. These religions grant differing amounts of passive and active skills to it’s practitioners, allowing them chances to access magical abilities.

Religion plays a powerful and enduring role in the world of War of the Realm, shaping cultures, allegiances, and the destinies of both kings and commoners alike. Characters may choose to follow one of the established faiths, unlocking unique Religious Feats, blessings, and special abilities tied to their devotion. Each religion offers distinct advantages, requiring players to balance spiritual power with political ambition. While some faiths grant passive protection or martial strength, others open paths to miracles, prophecy, and influence over the hearts of men. Commitment to a religion is not only a source of personal strength but a reflection of a character’s identity within the Realm.

The five major religions recognized in War of the Realm are:

• The Faith of the Seven: The dominant religion across much of the southern kingdoms, the Faith of the Seven worships seven aspects of a single deity ( the Father, the Mother, the Warrior, the Maiden, the Smith, the Crone, and the Stranger ). Followers gain access to a wide array of active and passive abilities based on the aspect they devote themselves to, with a strong emphasis on justice, protection, healing, and righteous warfare.
• The Old Gods of the Forest: An ancient faith tied to nature, the spirits of the earth, and the Weirwood trees. Practiced mostly in the North, followers of the Old Gods rely on passive blessings and natural resilience, gaining abilities that enhance survival, perception, and a deep bond with the land itself.
• The Lord of Light (R’hllor): A faith centered around fire, prophecy, and the eternal battle between light and darkness. Devotees of R’hllor wield both active miracles and passive advantages, including abilities tied to visions, fire manipulation, and unshakable spiritual conviction in the face of adversity.
• The Rhoynar: Traditions rooted in the riverfolk who once roamed Essos before settling in Dorne, the Rhoynar venerate water, memory, and ancestral wisdom. Followers of the Rhoynar draw strength from fluidity and adaptability, gaining powers that enhance speed, resilience, and spiritual attunement to the flow of fate and the living world.
• The Drowned God: The harsh sea deity worshiped in the Iron Islands, the Drowned God exalts strength, survival, and conquest by water. His followers are blessed with bonuses during naval warfare, storms, and raids, thriving in conditions where others would falter and invoking the power of the ocean itself to crush their foes.

✖ CHOOSING A FAITH

---

When creating a Character, one is allowed the chance to choose their character's religion should their Piety by 1 or higher. This is normally pre-determined by the region and House one joins but players are allowed to choose any Religion they want if available. This may cause loss of Influence in some regions, depending on the era and campaign in process. The only exception to this is House Greyjoy, all following the Drowned God Faith unless otherwise told by the GM/DM.

Upon choosing their Religion, members gain access to passive skills of their Faith and the ability to construct a Shrine should they reach the Piety requirement. In addition to this, additional Feats are unlocked as one's Piety and Faith increase. Before gaining access to any Active skill for the first time, one must visit a holy site related to their Faith and complete a ritual. This may range from praying at a Weirwood Tree to being baptized in the salt seas to meeting with a Septa. Some more powerful Skills may require these visits before each use. Additionally, if one wishes to forgo a religion, they are allowed to. Once the minimum of 1 Piety is met, members do not have to invest more points into this attribute unless they wish. Should one wish to convert to a religion later, however, they will require a higher minimum of 2 Piety before they can learn any skills as well as a religious event/ritual mission to be completed.

Unique to the Faith of the Seven, one may choose a specific aspect of the Faith to worship. These 7 Aspects ( The Mother, Father, Warrior, Maiden, Smith, Crone, and Stranger ) grant different skills and abilities to followers, allowing them to each feel unique and purposeful. One can follow only one aspect at any time, requiring at least 4 Piety and a reasonable ritual declaring their Aspect. This aspect cannot be changed later.

☞ THE OLD GODS​

---

✖ THE OLD GODS - "They do not speak, but they are always watching."

---

Ancient and formless, the Old Gods dwell in the trees, rivers, and stones of the land itself. Worshiped through silent prayer before heart trees, their power is channeled not through priests but through personal communion, ancestral memory, and nature’s quiet will. This religion favors patience, foresight, and connection to the world’s hidden currents. Those devoted to the Old Gods may walk in dreams, hear whispers through leaves, or be shielded by powers older than history. The Old Gods Faith grants access to many passive skills designed to augment and bless those fighting in harmony with nature and ancestral blood in the North, growing in power in these regions - even calling upon the Children of the Forest themselves. The Old Gods represent a raw, natural force, more ancient than kings or crowns - neither good nor evil, but eternal.

This faith is strongest in the North, where nearly all Houses ( great and small ) keep sacred groves and live by the quiet, grim truths of the old ways. It also persists in the Riverlands, particularly among Houses like Blackwood, whose First Men roots still run deep. Beyond the Wall, the Free Folk revere the Old Gods as a way of life, and even in parts of the Vale, isolated mountain clans hold fast to their ancient trees. Their presence lingers anywhere untouched by southern conquest or Andal steel.

However, in much of Westeros, the Old Gods are seen as foreign or backward. In regions like the Reach and the Westerlands, where the Faith of the Seven dominates, Old Gods worship is viewed as heretical or barbaric. In the Stormlands and Crownlands, Andal traditions have all but wiped out the old ways, and their groves lie forgotten or destroyed. On the Iron Islands, the very idea of the Old Gods is rejected outright - replaced by the harsh sea-born rites of the Drowned God.

☞ R'HLLOR​

---

✖ R'HLLOR - "For the night is dark and full of terrors."

---

R’hllor, the Lord of Light, is a god of fire, prophecy, and rebirth, locked in eternal war against the Great Other - the god of cold, death, and darkness. His followers believe in a world defined by duality: light and dark, fire and ice, life and death. Worship is dramatic and visceral, marked by sacred flames, visions in fire, and sometimes, ritual sacrifice. Central to their faith is the idea that Azor Ahai, a prophesied champion, will wield a burning sword to save the world from an endless night. R’hllor offers tangible power ( resurrections, fire-magic, visions, and warding spells ) but demands total faith, often through trial by fire. There are no temples, only flames; no peace, only purpose. In R’hllor’s light, there is clarity but no comfort.

R’hllor’s following is strongest in Essos, however in Westeros, his presence is growing slowly, mostly through foreign-born followers and wandering red priests. His influence is most felt in the Stormlands during Stannis Baratheon’s campaign, and in port cities like Dragonstone and Gulltown, where foreign religion is tolerated or politically convenient. Certain lower-born converts or disillusioned nobles may turn to R’hllor in search of power, redemption, or purpose, especially in times of war and plague.

However, R’hllor’s faith is often viewed as alien and dangerous in most of Westeros. In the Reach, the Westerlands, and the Crownlands, it is considered heretical, associated with blood sacrifice and foreign corruption. The Faith of the Seven denounces it outright, calling its priests deceivers and warlocks. In the North, where the Old Gods still hold sway, R’hllor’s binary worldview feels unnatural, even offensive. On the Iron Islands, R’hllor is scorned as weak and southerly, drowned beneath salt and storm. His light may burn bright, but it is unwelcome in the halls of tradition.

☞ RHOYNAR​

---

✖ RHOYNAR - "The river remembers. The water carries all things home."

---

The faith of the Rhoynar is a fluid, ancestral spirituality centered around Mother Rhoyne, a great river goddess said to carry memory, healing, and wisdom within her endless flow. Brought to Westeros by Princess Nymeria and her people, the Rhoynar faith is quiet but enduring, rooted in ritual water rites, ancestral remembrance, and a deep respect for balance between land, water, and spirit. They believe that water is the eternal witness - that it hears, it holds, and it returns. Priests, often called river-speakers or memory-tenders, pass down oral traditions, offer healing blessings, and guide others through emotional and spiritual transformation. Unlike the fire of R’hllor or the rigidity of the Seven, the Rhoynar way is gentle, introspective, and shaped by rhythm, remembrance, and release.

The Rhoynar faith is strongest in Dorne, especially among the southern riverside Houses, descendants of Nymeria’s Ten Thousand Ships. Houses like Martell preserve fragments of the old beliefs, blending them with Dornish customs. In Sandstone, Ghost Hill, and along the Greenblood River, isolated communities still perform water offerings, mourning songs, and ancestor rites. The Orphans of the Greenblood, in particular, maintain the most faithful remnants of Rhoynar tradition, living on boats and worshipping the river as sacred.

Outside of Dorne, however, the Rhoynar faith is viewed with mild curiosity at best, disdain at worst. In the Reach, where the Faith of the Seven is tightly woven into daily life, Rhoynish rituals are dismissed as foreign superstition. In the Crownlands, Westerlands, and Stormlands, it is barely known or acknowledged at all. Northerners, who revere the stoic Old Gods, often find Rhoynish spiritual softness alien, and Ironborn view it with outright scorn, as weak water-worship unfit for warriors. Though not hunted or persecuted, the Rhoynar faith endures as a quiet minority, resilient and patient as the river itself.

☞ THE DROWNED GOD​

---

✖ THE DROWNED GOD - "What is dead may never die, but rises again, harder and stronger."

---

The Drowned God is the cold, ruthless deity of the Ironborn, said to rule the depths of the sea and call his people to a life of conquest, salt, and steel. Unlike the warm divinity of the Seven or the mystical silence of the Old Gods, the Drowned God offers only the embrace of the abyss and the glory of reaving, drowning, and rebirth. Worship is grim and physical - drowning rituals mark new initiates, and survival is seen as divine favor. His priests, known as drowned men, are grim, half-mad prophets who claim to speak the words of the sea. The religion is built on the belief that the Ironborn are chosen to take what they need by force - "the Old Way" - through bloodshed and the iron price. To live meekly is to insult the sea itself.

The Drowned God is worshipped almost exclusively in the Iron Islands, where his rites and laws are embedded into daily life. Each island holds sacred stones, sea caves, and tidepools used for offerings and baptisms. Priests serve lords and raiders alike, offering blessings before battles and casting bones for guidance. Houses like Greyjoy and Blacktyde elevate the Drowned God not only as religion, but as identity - a reason to plunder, to rule, and to suffer with pride.

Outside of the Iron Islands, the Drowned God is reviled, feared, or considered barbaric. In the Riverlands, Reach, and Westerlands, his worship is viewed as piracy disguised as piety, and his priests as little better than war criminals. The Faith of the Seven considers the Drowned God a false god of violence, and even in places like the Stormlands and Crownlands, Ironborn rituals are met with suspicion or open hatred. In the North, where stoicism reigns, the chaotic violence of the Ironborn way is alien.

Passive Abilities​

Salt-Hardened Flesh - Requires at least 3 in Piety Attribute

• Once per battle, reduce Fleet damage taken by 2.

Sea’s Claim - Requires at least 5 in Piety Attribute

• You gain 50 additional Gold for each successful coastal battle you initiate and win.

• When fighting on the sea, the user is able to push one enemy unit back 1 range and reduce their SPD by 1 next turn.

• Become immune to Influence or Intrigue-based actions for 2 turns. Should the user be on sea, this is doubled in length.

Crash of the Depths - COST 8 UNITS ( Requires at least 7 in Piety Attribute )

• Deal 4 DMG to all enemy naval units in a storm or coastal engagement. Once per campaign and covers up to 2 landmarks, including the one used in and one adjacent to it

☞ FAITH OF THE SEVEN​

---

✖ FAITH OF THE SEVEN - "The Father judges, the Warrior defends, the Mother loves - and the Seven watch all."

---

The Faith of the Seven is the dominant religion of the southern and central kingdoms of Westeros, structured, hierarchical, and deeply woven into the politics and culture of the realm. Worshipped as seven aspects of one divine being, the Seven represent the different faces of life: the Father (judgment), the Mother (mercy), the Warrior (strength), the Maiden (innocence), the Smith (labor), the Crone (wisdom), and the Stranger (death and the unknown). The Faith relies on priests (septons/septas), knightly orders, and a powerful governing body called the Most Devout, centered in the Great Sept of Baelor. It promotes values like honor, order, and unity, but has also led to zealotry, inquisition, and political manipulation when its power is challenged. It is a faith of temples, oaths, and pageantry - a religion that thrives on visibility and control.

The Faith of the Seven is strongest in the Crownlands, the Reach, the Westerlands, and much of the Stormlands. Noble Houses such as Tyrell, Lannister, Tarly, and Baratheon are deeply intertwined with the Faith's rituals and laws. Most cities in these regions have septs, septa-led schools, and Faith Militants protecting the interests of the gods. In the Vale, the Faith is also common, especially among courtly and noble circles. Marriage, inheritance, and legitimacy are all shaped by the Faith’s doctrines, making it not just a belief system - but a legal and political framework.

In contrast, the Faith is viewed with suspicion or rejection in areas where it failed to conquer hearts or lands. In the North, it is a foreign import, barely tolerated. Among the Free Folk and Old Gods followers, it is dismissed as rigid and blind to the natural world. The Ironborn openly despise it, calling it a weak man’s faith. In Dorne, especially among Rhoynar-descended Houses, it is often ignored or replaced by local customs.

Shared Abilities

• While adjacent to a Faith of the Seven religious site, gain +10 during RP involving diplomacy, judgment, or local leadership. Applies once per phase

• Once per campaign, invoke a Trial of Seven to resolve a major legal or political conflict. Both sides name 7 champions (or fewer, depending on player count). If you win, gain +2 Influence permanently and the divine backing of the Faith. Also creates a temporary -1 Intrigue debuff for the losing side (RP only)
