The Most Devout are a council of the highest ranking clergy of the Faith of the Seven. They can be identified by their cloth-of-silver vestments and crystal coronals.[1] Although the High Septon is usually elected from among the Most Devout, this is not a requirement.[2]

History

Before the advent of the Targaryens, the seat of the Faith was the ornate Starry Sept in Oldtown. The High Septon and the Most Devout now convene in the Great Sept of Baelor in King's Landing.

Disregarding the Most Devout, a simple stonemason and a young boy were High Septons during the reign of King Baelor I Targaryen[2]

A third of the Most Devout died during the Great Spring Sickness.[3]

Recent Events

Seven of the Most Devout attend the High Septon before the funeral for Lord Tywin Lannister.[4] After the High Septon's death, the Most Devout meet to choose his successor, but sparrows force the selection of the High Sparrow as the new High Septon.[2]

After being imprisoned by the Faith, Queen Regent Cersei Lannister is asked to confess her sins by Moelle and Unella, septas of the Most Devout.[5]
