Every Game of Thrones Religion Explained in 14 Minutes

Check out my other GOT videos: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgXu19DShgN_8bu5JWGAh4W…

I like the Dothraki beliefs “sure, all yalls gods might exist I won’t fight you on that. But there IS a horse god too” I’m agnostic but imma start telling anyone who asks me what I believe that exact same thing

Actual phrases go: "For the night is dark and full of terrors, but the fire burns them all away" and: "What is dead may never die, but rises again harder and stronger". The show removed those parts for some reason...

a book set in prime valyria would be so fire

the old gods seem the most sane religion of all the bunch

Most of religions in the world of asoiaf: Magic, visions, body swap, krakens, deep sea lovercraftian horrors, useful charms and spells Faith of the Seven: We dont do that here

Unnamed religions include: * A small household idol which looked like a pregnant woman with swollen breasts and a bat's head. * The Gardens of Gelenei is a temple on the Isle of the Gods in Braavos, Gelenei may possibly be the name of the god or goddess worshiped there but this not confirmed. * The love goddess of Lys, whose naked figure is on Lysene coinage; it is at present unknown if she is the same as the Weeping Lady of Lys. * The Fountain of the Drunken God may or may not be dedicated to a god. * The many gods honoured in the Holy Refuge also called The Warren, it is a temple in Braavos, within it the forgotten gods are honoured. * The Dothraki believe that the Sun and the Moon are a god and goddess and that they are husband and wife. * The Temple of Memory is a temple in Qarth where petitioners seeking audience with the Pureborn must perform a traditional sacrifice. It is unknown which god or gods are worshiped there. * The god of the Bearded priests of Norvos who's name is unknown, because the sect is so secretive the name of their god is revealed only to initiates. * The hundred gods of the Sarnori, who since the Century of Blood are only worshiped in the city of Saath. * In the ancient (now lost) city of Lyber on the grasslands of Central Essos they worshipped a spider goddess, as well as a serpent god, the acolytes of the two gods waged a bloody and endless war between one another.

One of the most important parts of the valyrian faith in my opinion is this " In old valyria a thousand god's were honoured bu no one was feared"

Makes me wonder why The Old Valyrian Gods abandoned the people of Valyria and the continent as a whole. What unforgivable sin was done to invoke their wrath?

Relating to your comment about wanting a show about Valyria, I would love to see a show about Nymeria and the Rhoynar. We would see the Rhoynar and Valyria at their height, then places like Naath, the Summer Isles and Sothoryos that are pretty minimally explored, and finally seeing pre Targaryan Westeros for the first time.

Considering how The Nightswatch predates the Andal invasion its wild that they had to cross the Wall to visit a Gods wood

Stop moving the pictures please, makes me dizzy. But keep up the great work. Thank you

Honestly, when you learn more about the Drowned God, you can understand Theon and his actions a lot more.

I love how you managed to compact everything in a short video and not losing any information

you forgot about the religion of the summer islands!! in a conversation, tyrion mentioned very briefly a fertility goddess with sixteen teats

The role of religion in ASoIaF is one of my favourite elements

I read a comment under the Jon Snow resurrection clip here on Youtube that tells a very interesting yet terrifying fact: when Melisandre asks Jon what he saw after he died he responds “nothing” (insert mandatory Jon Snow joke here) thats actually horrible, we know that (some) gods exist in the ASOIAF universe and they care so little about humans that there is no reward or punishment in the afterlife. All your struggles, your actions, your choiches are completelly, utterly meaningless.

Good material! I personally don't mind the moving images, but it's probably a good idea to find something else to keep it dynamic. Good job, enjoyed the knowledge.

I just have to say, I like the information and the delivery but I had to stop watching two minutes in because the shaking images and text were unbearable. I hope you make a new version with static images, because I'd still love to watch this video.
