Something has replaced it then. The Faith of the Seven has spread through Westeros and replaced the Old Gods for many, though not for all. Eventually, something else will come and perhaps it will seem like they are faithless as your modern world is.

Not all over. Between it all, there was time for laughter and joy in our home. And while it is a harsh place, yes, but those here sit at the finest of tables at the head of the noblest of houses. For all that we know of our home, we do not know the suffering faced by those without gold in their coffers and pheasant or boar on their tables.

You're wise to have that perspective. I've known politicians who have been at it longer than you've been alive, who've completely forgotten what it's like for regular people.

To rule well, a Targaryen must not forget who and what they are and how the smallfolk see us.

You don't think "the smallfolk" is a bit...derogatory?

[vermax]

It is what they are? ( the progressive thought only goes so far. )

It's not just royalty, who lead full and vibrant lives. It's condescending.
