The [[Faith of the Seven]] is ruled by a council of the highest ranking clergy of the Faith called the '''Most Devout'''. The Most Devout are led by the [[High Septon]], an office elected by the Most Devout. Although the High Septon is usually elected from among the Most Devout, this is not a requirement as kings sometimes take a hand in naming a new High Septon at times such as King [[Baelor I]]. High Septons renounce their names upon taking the office. They usually wear a great crown made of crystal while performing their duties. The High Septon and the Most Devout convene in the [[Great Sept of Baelor]] in [[King's Landing]], a vast building of white marble with seven crystal towers. Prior to being headquartered in [[King's Landing]], before the advent of the [[House Targaryen|Targaryens]], the seat of the Faith was the ornate [[Starry Sept]] in [[Oldtown]], constructed in black marble with stained glass windows set in pointed arches.

History

Before the arrival 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.

Seventy-seven of the Most Devout escorted the High Septon to King's Landing in 49 AC.[4]

Twoscore of the Most Devout died of the Shivers.[5]

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.[6]
