Line 19:
* [[Proper Lady]]: The Mother
* [[Maiden Mother and Crone]]: [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|The Maid, The Mother, and The Crone]]
* [[Speak of the Devil]]: It is considered bad luck to speak of the Stranger, well-illustrated by the fact that an in-universe religious nursery rhyme called "The Seven" [[Non
* [[Two Faced]]: The descriptions of iconography of The Stranger suggest he's depicted this way.
Line 29:
* [[The Antichrist]] / [[Satan]]: The Great Other
* [[Black and White Morality]]
* [[Casting a Shadow]] ''and'' [[Light
* [[The Chosen One]]: Azor Ahai

* [[Asskicking Equals Authority]]: As Aeron puts it; the Drowned God only aids bold men.
Line 93:
* [[Crossover Cosmology]]: As has been noted by some Rh'llor worshipers, The Drowned God and his opposition to the Storm God mirrors the enmity between Rh'llor and The Great Other.
* [[Good Old Ways]]: "Pay the Iron Price" is this for the religion/culture (naturally, not really viewed as good by non-Ironborn)
* [[Shout Out]]: The Drowned God is partially inspired by [[
** Even more so by Dagon.
* [[War God]]: Creating the Ironborn to 'reave and slay' and being generally pleased when they kill their enemies and wage war on other races makes him look like one of these.
