Perhaps it was the excitement and sense of purpose felt by Theon Greyjoy (Alfie Allen) that caused him to run from woman to woman with a sense of ownership and right on the long journey home. But the notion of credence needn't be relegated to a higher power or unearthly creatures sometimes it's as simple as where the other gender fits into the world. This denial or acceptance of beliefs helps to not only differentiate the various kingdoms, but also give a decent glimpse at the personalities that lie within. However, Davos isn't interested in worship, he's more intent on following a man convinced of his own divine right to the throne, which is why he's enlisted the help of the pirate Salladhor Saan, for the use of his ships against Joffrey's illegitimate claim to be king – because in the end, no one can deny the power that gold wields. The notion of belief is further carried as Stannis' ( Stephen Dillane) right hand man Ser Davos Seaworth (Liam Cunningham) is urged by his son to take up worship of Stannis' newfound god. Of course, should Daenerys and her Dothraki ever make it alive through the Red Waste, such discussion over the existence of creatures thought extinct will certainly be rendered moot.

The conversation reveals that Cersei belongs firmly to the camp that believes magic and the supernatural are relics of legend, not fact, while Tyrion has seen these unnatural things with his own eyes, so it's no longer a question of belief, as far as he's concerned. As we see when Cersei (Lena Heady) once more engages in an ill-adviced battle of wills and wits with her younger brother, and newly appointed Hand of the King, Tyrion (Peter Dinklage). In 'The Night Lands' there is a distinct feeling that a separation between logic and mysticism has created a troublesome schism between knowledge and ignorance. It feels as though, with the expansion of the kingdoms of Westeros, there also comes a deeper understanding of where the beliefs of this world's inhabitants lie. While magic and superstition were largely spoken of in the past tense during season 1, Game of Thrones has put these various notions front and center in season 2.
