* NunsAreSpooky: The Silent Sisters are sworn to chastity and silence, are symbolically wed to the god of Death, and go around taking care of the remains of the dead. It's seen as a noble and respectable calling... but people stay well out of their way whenever possible and go around spreading rumors and gossip about them such as "their woman parts are cold".



* TongueTrauma: Subverted by the Silent Sisters. It is believed by many that it is custom for their tongues to be cut out but Septon Meribald reveals that this is a mere rumor. In truth, they simply take on a vow of silence. Nevertheless, rumors of the mutilation persist, specially when women are forced to join the order.

* BoringButPractical: The Seven is the only major religion thus far in the series that's demonstrated no magic. However, what the followers of the Seven lack in magic, they make up for in sheer zealotry and skills at arm. When the Seven-worshipping Andals invaded Westeros, the First Men and the Children of the Forest with all their magic were no match for them.

* BullyingADragon: It never seemed to click with him that constantly antagonizing the family armed with giant, fire breathing monsters was a bad idea. He only really got away with insulting the Targaryens so much because of Aenys' own reluctance to act. Even when Maegor, who was much more willing to act, took the throne, the Septon still couldn't shut up, despite the Targaryens being prone to descend upon Oldtown. This is just another reason some think he was murdered.
