The Pattern is a religion worshipped in Essos. The Patternmaker's Maze is in Braavos, and the priests of the Pattern claim that only those who learn to walk the labyrinth properly will find wisdom.[1] It is unknown if there are similar mazes in other cities or if there is a connection with the mazemakers of Lorath.

Gyldayn claims that the Pattern is worshipped in Tyrosh, alongside R'hllor, Trios, and other gods.[2]
