In the fictional world of George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series, a Septa is a female religious figure who serves the Faith of the Seven, the dominant religion in the Seven Kingdoms. Similar to nuns, Septas dedicate their lives to the Seven Gods, taking vows of chastity and service. They often work in temples called septs, leading prayers, performing ceremonies, and teaching religious doctrine to young women, particularly those of noble birth. Septas are respected members of society, often acting as advisors and confidantes to the women they serve.
