Chapter 23: Chapter 22:The birth of gods(Omniscient's POV)

The world was starting to change in a direction of no return. R'hllor's faith ended up long ago spreading through the world, in ancient priests' effort to spread their faith through the world. But as time passed with the enormous distance of some places to Ashai the birth city of their faith, lack of written records, and a blood sacrifice becoming unpopular in some cultures the faith branched out into other monotheist religions, the Faith of the Seven from the Andals and the Great Shepherd form the A certain event was about to change the Faith of the Seven. It was a faith that the andals ended up coming up with by taking the R'hllor faith and mixing it with mother Rhoyne's faith. The faith has seven gods that are one. All have symbolic representations that can be found in the temple for worship.

Six gods are widely worshiped, while one is dreaded and feared. This one is the Stranger, which has the most distant representation and the less humanized one, and originated from the feared Great Other dreaded by the red priests. The Azor Ahai glorified by the red priest, ended up being promoted by the Andals to the status of a god and given a name easier to pronounce The Warrior. The Nissa Nissa killed to forge a sword in the red priests' legends ended up becoming the Maiden that the Andals worship. The Azor Ahai who forges Lightbringer became the Smith as well. R'hllor, who according to the red priests gives them visions through the flames, became the Crone, whose statues often show her with a raised lamp in one hand. The Red God also became, as the symbol of good for his believer, the Father. Mother Rhoyne was taken from their neighbor, the Rhoynar, and became the Mother.

A lot of Andals in Essos worship the Mother, as faiths that closely interwind, their mother ended up forming an avatar from Mother Rhoyne with a will of its own. This avatar separated itself from Mother Rhoyne, for there to be a balance a Father to the Mother was born. For there to be the origin of both a Crone came to be. From the Mother and Father union, a Smith, a Maiden, and a Warrior came to be. To balance to the six gods' life, a Stranger that means death came to be. The Stranger that balances six gods is the strongest of them all, as not all women are maidens, not all men are warriors or smiths, and not all live to become father or mother or a crone. All these seven avatars, which were incomplete gods, joined and gave birth to the Seven-that-are-one.

From the seven, the incomplete Red God and the Great Other came to be. As the Red God is the god of the flames his believers use, he ended up being connected and becoming a sort of collective consciousness for all the flame's artificial spirits, quickly evolving into a complete god. The Great Other ended up evolving into a god as well to balance R'hllor's godhood. From R'hllor, came the incomplete avatar of the Great Shepherd. From him, an Azor Ahai, would be born as well. All families that have a widely believe claim of ancestry to this figure, gained a very small hero's bloodline connected to him.

Given the dichotomous nature of the R'hllor's faith, the Night King became the champion of the Great Other becoming stronger. The Night King was created with the children of the forest magic, making the Great Other metaphysically connected to the Old Gods, so the divine energy spread to the Godswood in the north making them become demigods.

Elenei, the supposed daughter of the Sea god and goddess of the wind, was with her parents once worshipped by the First Men in the Stormland, following their people's peace with the Children they gradually started to be worshiped together with the Godswood, so even found different to distinguish them, seeing them as the three known old gods. Their faith ended with the invasion of the Andals. The Godswood ended up nourishing the appearance of these gods, and so the three gods were born. With this members of the Durrandon, now have a very weak divine bloodline from Eleni.

A similar process happened with Garth the Green, a mythical High King of the First Men, who was once believed to be a god. As in some stories, the green god started to die every autumn, only to be reborn with the coming of spring. So tales of a man with green hands, green hair, green skin overall, and antlers like a stag being found dying every autumn and being reborn every summer started to spread again in Westeros. With these, houses Oakheart, Redwyne, Fossoway, Hightower, Bulwer, Crane, Beesbury, Rowan, Lannister, Florent, Ball, Tarly, Peake, Gardener, and even Stark, got a very weak bloodline from Garth the Green It may surprise some that house Stark is in the list, but it is related to a certain claim from some tales that Brandon the Builder, descends from Brandon of the Bloody Blade, a legendary son of Garth the Green.

Long ago, a crew of Rhoynar's sailors, including men and women, got lost in the sea in a storm ending up on Summer Island, more specifically in Walano, after they reached long before one of the islands, the long night came to be, and they were unable to return. With no scribe, their history got lost in the river of time and their people forgot both their roots and about the outside world, but not about Mother Rhoyne. However, from the Mother of Rivers, she became the Goddess of love, beauty, and fertility. So another avatar of Mother Rhoyne separated giving birth to the incomplete goddess of love, beauty, and fertility.

For there to be balance a god of male fertility; a god of "hatred" that was actually war; and a god of "ugliness" that was actually death; were born. From the three gods, the main goddess of the Summer Islanders gave birth to the remaining gods that their people believed. Gradually, the four became complete gods.

Now what remains is to see how much the world would change and how much more gods would appear.
