5. Cersei Lannister has removed all mention of the Faith of the Seven
This one comes to us thanks to an official HBO Game of Thrones teaser that sees the three primary monarchs of Westeros, Cersei Lannister, Daenerys Targaryen, and Jon Snow each make the slow walk through their respective throne rooms. Cersei, of course, resides in King’s Landing. Eagle-eyed viewers noticed one glaring change to the throne room, the removal of the seven pointed star, a symbol of the Faith of the Seven.
This all makes perfect sense considering how clear Cersei made her thoughts on the separation of church and state at the climax of season 6. What has Cersei replaced the seven pointed stars with? A roaring lion, the sigil of House Lannister. Which sounds right up Cersei’s wheelhouse. Cersei appears to be going full villain mode, in season 7, something we’ve slowly seen her evolving towards ever since threatening to reveal her and Jaime’s affair to Tywin in season 4.
The transformation of the throne room also signals an end to any nominal relationship with the Faith, although blowing up the Sept of Baelor was also a big sign. Cersei transforming the throne room should have been expected, as we saw Joffrey redecorate it after ascending to the Iron Throne. Like mother, like son.
