Talk:Sept
From A Wiki of Ice and Fire
Layout of a sept?
I have had ideas about how a sept's main room is arranged inaide.
- With the seven images around the outside facing inwards. That causes a problem: where does the door go? I thought of the sept room being 8-eided, and the 8th position is for the door. But GRRM says 7-sided. With 7 corners, and an image at each corner, and the door in the middle of a side, that may crowd matters for the two images and their altars that the door is between.
- Weddings: tend to attract big congregations, so the Father and the Mother would have to be together opposite the door, so that the door is behind the congregation as the sept fills.
- With the seven images all together in the middle facing outwards. The Father and the Mother would likely face the entrance.
- The Stranger: Well away from the Father and the Mother, to avoid disquieting reflections during weddings. Next to the Warrior?, to remind people that war causes deaths.
