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, a prime example is the new current High Septon known as the High Sparrow.

In the faiths history Kings sometimes take a direct 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 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.
