Religion and belief has always played a particularly important role in Game of Thrones and the larger A Song of Ice and Fire franchise, but few belief systems are as mysterious or as deeply connected to Westeros itself as the concept of The Old Gods. Long before the Faith of the Seven became dominant across most of the continent, the Children of the Forest worshiped nameless gods associated with the forests, rivers, stones, and sacred weirwood trees.

The First Men eventually adopted those beliefs following their pact with the Children, and the religion survived most prominently in the North even after the arrival of the Andals and their Seven. That history makes the Old Gods much more than another piece of background mythology in George R.R. Martin’s universe. Weirwoods, greenseers, the Children of the Forest, and Bran Stark’s abilities all connect the faith to some of the franchise’s biggest mysteries, with the Old Gods being intertwined with both Westeros’ distant past and its unfinished future.

And now, Game of Thrones fans will pray to the Old Gods once again in a brand-new release titled Game of Thrones: Honor the Old Gods, available now for just a limited time (via GoTC).

Game of Thrones: Conquest is closing out September with the return of Honor the Old Gods, a weeklong Special Event running from today, September 28, through October 5. Unlike the game’s longer monthly story arcs, Special Events are shorter themed celebrations that sit alongside regular PvE, PvP, crafting, and power-up activities. Mechanics for these events can vary considerably, ranging from gifting events like Feast of Cakes and Pies to holiday celebrations and other limited-time bonuses.

Warner Bros. Games has not yet published a detailed 2026 breakdown of Honor the Old Gods beyond its dates, but the event is a recurring Conquest tradition with an established format, so it’s likely to follow the standard structure. During previous official versions, players received bonus rewards for praying at the Shrine, with potential payouts including Hero XP, Oaths, and Royal Seals.

The event also featured 24-hour versions of popular power-progression activities covering areas such as crafting, building, heroes, dragons, and research, alongside daily bonus Gold events associated with the Iron Bank.

Honor the Old Gods arrives immediately after September’s larger Dragonseeds arc, which ran from September 1 through September 25 and drew heavily from the Dance of the Dragons era. That release introduced the new Dragonseed Gear Set, designed primarily around Cavalry combat, alongside two new heroes: Alys Rivers, a Heroic Master of Whisperers focused heavily on Cavalry defense, and Hugh Hammer, a Mythic Master of War specializing in Ranged attacks and Seat of Power combat.

September also continued the Ever-Ready Warrior Dragon Gear collection with a new Saddle offering Dragon Attack, troop health, marching speed, and Infantry bonuses against Seats of Power. With the Dragonseeds storyline finished, Honor the Old Gods effectively serves as an end-of-month bonus week, shifting attention away from the Dance-era narrative and back toward one of the oldest religions in Westeros while giving Game of Thrones fans another chance to strengthen their kingdoms.
