In theA Song of Ice and Fire novels, the statue of the Weeping Lady found in the House of Black and White is called the "Weeping Woman." It is made of marble and is 12 feet tall. It is commonly visited by old women.
TheLord of Light religion is the largest in Lys, though numerous other local cults exist in sizable numbers. Aside from the Weeping Lady, a local love goddess is also very popular - so much that it is printed on Lysene coins, naked and wanton. It isn't clear if the love goddess and the Weeping Lady are part of the same religion or are from separate cults.
