Trial by Faith

The young queen had chosen a trial by faith, and the High Septon was happy to provide her with that. Her willingness to put her faith in the gods gave him pause. After weeks of preparation the trial was prepared, to happen in the Great Sept of Baelor beneath the watchful eyes of the Seven that are One. All was prepared, the High Sparrow stood at the main alter waiting, elevated above six of his peers, impartial and pious men chosen by the Septon himself. All was silent, deathly silent. They would judge the young queen, and their judgment would not be influenced by the politics of men. The doors to the Sept were guarded by the Warrior’s Sons, while poor fellows covered the sides of Visenya’s Hill.

Word went out, Her Grace Margery Baratheon formerly of the house Tyrell was to come, her trial would begin today.
