The Old Gods of the Forest, or simply the Old Gods, are a collection of innumerable and unnamed spirits of nature, which are worshiped by many people of the North and small numbers elsewhere in Westeros. It was once the chief religion of Westeros, but has now been supplanted by the Faith of the Seven, which was brought to the continent by the Andals and is now the dominant faith of the continent. Though the two religions have coexisted for more than six thousand years, there is still tension between the most devout adherents of the two faiths.
