Text
  • Wonder whether the High Sparrow has ever lain with a woman.
  • Agree that the offices of the faith are less important than sincere worship of the gods.
  • "The High Septon was not condemned for lust, but for blasphemy," the High Sparrow says mildly. "The gods deserve better than the mockery of whores."
  • Worry that the smallfolk need a strong and unified faith to believe in.
  • "It is a grievous sin for a man of such stature in the faith to commit so base a sacrilege," the High Sparrow says sadly. "Thousands looked to him."
  • "The faith doesn't matter. Septa, septon, the star and the pulpit, they're just trappings," he says. "All that matters is the gods themselves."
  • Ask whether the High Sparrow thinks publicly shaming the High Septon helps the faith.
