Game of Thrones Overlord Conquest

Religion is a product of the development and evolution of human society, and it will inevitably develop and change with the development of social history.

Based on historical materialism and the law of religion adapting to society, Engels divided the development of religion into primitive tribal religions that formed spontaneously, national religions founded by individuals during the heyday of slavery, and individual religions that were supported and promoted by global empires and developed into world religions.

In this world, long before history was recorded, the Children of the Forest of Westeros worshiped nameless gods of rock, earth, and trees, now known as the Old Gods.

The Rhoynar of Essos worship the mother river Lorne, the Crab King, and the Old Man of the River.

All of them are primitive religious beliefs similar to animism.

The greenseers in Children of the Forest are shamans of a sort who possess powerful magical powers and can converse with birds and beasts, as well as see through eyes carved into weirwood trees.

Primitive religion has no preaching priests, pious prayers, hymns, or worship rituals. It is just a religion passed down from generation to generation.

The Faith of the Seven Gods is the most important religious belief in Westeros. People often simply call it "the church". In order to distinguish it from the ancient beliefs, the gods of the church are sometimes called new gods.

The seven gods worshiped by the church are very similar to the doctrine of the Trinity, but they are seven gods in one.

A god takes seven different forms, representing seven different virtues.

But some people would think that they are seven different gods.

Worshipers will pray to a specific form of the Seven Gods depending on what they want.

"Father" represents judgment, pray to him for justice to be done, "Mother" represents love and nurturance, pray to him for many children or mercy, "Warrior" represents the strength of fighting, pray to him for courage and victory, and "maiden" represents innocence. Purity, praying to protect a girl’s chastity, “Blacksmith” represents craftsmanship and labor, pray to him for the strength needed to complete the work, “Old Woman” represents wisdom, people often pray to Him for guidance, “Stranger” represents death and the unknown, believers Rarely ask Stranger for help, but often associate others with Stranger.

The continent of Essos has as many gods as there are peoples here. A person can find worship here of any god he can imagine. In essence, these are all polytheistic religions.

Believers look to religion to help them understand humans' innate powers endowed by nature.

In Essos, the faith of R'hllor, which has the most followers, is already a tradition that can be seen everywhere. It is a typical dualistic concept of light and darkness.

The supreme priests of the Temple of R'hllor in Volantis have been committed to spreading the faith of the Lord of Light to the world and developing their religion into a world religion.

They sent Thoros, the Red Priest of Myr, westward to Westeros to preach to the fire-obsessed King Aerys II Targaryen.

However, Thoros failed to demonstrate any impressive fire magic to Aerys II, so R'hllor was not well known in Westeros.

The current Supreme Priest Benero is no exception. He prays to the Lord of Light to show the phantom of the future and help find the reincarnation of Azor Ahai, the true ancient hero in the prophecy.

Regardless of whether the world after Long Summer needs saving, he will do his best to encourage more people to support this hero.

At this time, Benero's passionate speech had ended, and the shouts aroused by the surrounding people could still be heard, and the shouts of people resounded through the sky.

The Hands of Holy Fire guarded Magiro and struggled to squeeze a way through the crowd to approach the Supreme Priest.

Unlike Benero's high-pitched voice, he looks very quiet in person, with a tall and thin body, prominent facial features, and a bald head and milky white face covered with flame tattoos.

With a pair of eyes that were as clear as crystals immersed in water, he stared at Ma Qiluo with warmth and softness. There was a light of unknown meaning in his pupils that inadvertently made the red-robed monk dare not look directly.

"Old and young horses, flaming steeds and dark goats, real and false kings, I also see you, your stupid body standing numb among the horses, but unable to ignite the will of fire."

After hearing the words of the Supreme Priest, the red-robed monk Ma Qiluo, who had no fear in the face of danger and had always maintained a calm attitude, could no longer hold on and felt extremely restless in his heart.

The Supreme Priest did not give the red-robed monk a chance to enter the temple to negotiate.

He seemed to have seen everything from the flames, or got all the information from other people.

Then, he turned his gaze to the black wall of Volantis and said calmly:

"Within the black wall, the old nobles with ancient blood are now unable to eat and sleep restlessly. The archons sit anxiously commanding and controlling everything. Looking across Volantis, slaves stand to produce food, clean the streets, and guard the city walls. , charging forward, but do you think the consuls will really listen to what we are talking about? In their eyes, everyone outside the black wall is different from the humblest beggars and slaves. "

Supreme Priest Benero slowly approached the red-robed monk, stretched out his hand to caress Magiro's lowered head, and continued:

"You see the long bridge connecting the two cities of Volantis. The flat bridge deck is like a smooth road leading to the world. You fail to see the arch made of black boulders that separates the order. The tall and thick black wall From the moment it was established, words were cut off. If you think too much about the temple, you will worry too much about Volantis. If you think too little about the Lord of Flame, Red Heart and Light, your eyes will become more and more dull. Short-sighted.”

The residents of the Black Wall of Volantis call themselves "ancient blood" and their ancestors can be traced back to the ancient Valyrian era. Foreigners and free people are not allowed to enter the Black Wall unless invited by the residents living there.

Due to its location close to Slaver's Bay, Volantis is not only a key link in the slave trade chain, they are also a major market for the slave trade, with the average Volantis freeman owning at least five slaves.

Just like the currency used by Volantis, called "sparkle", it has a crown on the front and a skull on the back.

For the creation of the brilliant coin, whose glory and crown are used on the front, and whose blood, tears and life are used on the back.

"Mortals must make a choice, you and me, men and women, noble or poor, we choose light or darkness, justice or evil, we choose true gods or false gods, but there is only one hero, and we must choose the true hero, and He must choose light, justice, and the true God."

The Supreme Priest looked directly at the sky, which was like a red sun burning with flames. His hands were crossed in front of his lower abdomen, and his high-pitched voice sounded unusually peaceful and tranquil.

"Magiro, go back to your Kaa and provide him with guidance and help. The Lord of Light will guide you."

"Please remember that a king, a country, and a true god must find the king and agree to all his requests."
