===Ancient History=== The old gods were originally worshiped by the [[children of the forest]] in most of [[Westeros]] in the [[Dawn Age]], thousands of years before the arrival of the [[First Men]] from [[Essos]] via the [[Arm of Dorne]]. The First Men [[War of the First Men and the children of the forest|warred]] with the children and, believing that the [[greenseer]]s of the children could see through the eyes of the [[weirwood]]s,{{Ref|ACOK|28}} cut down the weirwoods where they found them.{{ref|AGOT|66}} The children at [[Moat Cailin]] are said to have called upon their nameless gods to use the [[hammer of the waters]],{{ref|AGOT|56}} and other tales say they performed blood sacrifice at the [[Isle of Faces]].{{ref|TWOIAF|Dorne: The Breaking}} In time, however, the First Men made peace with the children at the Isle of Faces within the [[Gods Eye]], agreeing to the [[Pact]]. In time, they adopted the gods of the children as their own.{{ref|AGOT|66}} Other religions of the [[First Men]] included the [[Lady of the Waves]] and the [[Lord of the Skies]], worshiped on the [[Three Sisters]],{{ref|ADWD|9}} and the [[Drowned God]], which is still worshiped on the [[Iron Islands]].{{ref|TWOIAF|The Iron Islands}} When [[Corlos]] spared lion cubs within [[Casterly Rock]], the old gods are said to have rewarded him by revealing gold in [[Casterly Rock]].{{ref|TWOIAF|The Westerlands}} According to Archmaester [[Eyron]], the [[crannogmen]] often thought their [[Marsh King]]s were touched by the old gods.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The North: The Crannogmen of the Neck}}
