#PENNY A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE FREE#

Their first ships made landfall on the Fingers and in successive waves they spread across all of the South. They abandoned the eastern continent and launched an invasion of Westeros beginning over six thousand years ago. It is said that the Seven made themselves manifest in the hills, and thus the Andals felt blessed by the gods.

The Andals were originally a race of men dwelling in the Hills of Andalos on the eastern continent, which lie south of the modern Free City of Pentos. His name has been erased from all records after it was found that he had been sacrificing to the Others. This so-called ' Night's King' was finally brought down by the combined might of the Stark in Winterfell and Joramun, the King-beyond-the-Wall (possibly the same Joramun who found the Horn of Winter and used it to raise giants from the earth). The thirteenth Lord Commander of the Night's Watch was bewitched by a beautiful sorceress (who was really a reanimated corpse) from beyond the Wall and turned the Watch into his personal army. A later prophecy claimed that the Others would return and Azor Ahai, the Prince that was Promised, would be reborn to lead the fight. The fortress of Winterfell (and possibly Storm's End in the south) was built at this time, and the Night's Watch founded to maintain a watch on the Wall. Brandon Stark was declared the First King in the North. Brandon Stark, known as Bran the Builder, raised a great Wall of ice, gravel and magic, stretching one hundred leagues from the Gorge to the Shivering Sea to prevent the Others coming again. Eventually the Others were driven back into the Land of Always Winter. A great hero, who in the eastern tradition is known as Azor Ahai, led the war against the Others wielding his sword of fire, Lightbringer. The ' Others', as these demons were called, were eventually checked when it was discovered that weapons made of dragonglass ( obsidian) could kill them. The Children of the Forest and their allies, the First Men, fought valiantly against them, but were driven southwards by their advance. In the midst of this darkness a race of apparent demons emerged from the uttermost north, wielding razor-thin swords of ice and raising the dead to fight the living. The Long Night lasted a generation and laid waste to much of the world through famine and terror. Faces were carved on all the trees of the island to cement the agreement, with the Sacred Order of Green Men established to maintain it, and the Pact endured for some four thousand years.ДЄpproximately eight thousand years before Aegon's Landing, in the midst of a great winter that lasted for years, a terrible darkness fell across Westeros and the east. The Children's greenseers and wood dancers met with the First Men and terms were agreed: the Children retained the standing forests and the First Men were able to settle the open lands. Eventually, the war ended in a truce known as the Pact, which was made on the Isle of Faces in the midst of the lake known as Gods Eye.

The Children wielded strong magic, shattering the Arm of Dorne and forming the islands known as the Stepstones, but it was not enough to prevent the advance of the First Men. Their burning of the great weirwoods forced the Children to go to war against them. Around this time Westeros was invaded by the First Men, tall warriors wielding weapons of bronze, who crossed into Westeros from the eastern continent via the Arm of Dorne. The original inhabitants of Westeros were the Children of the Forest, a diminutive race who apparently ruled the entire continent more than twelve thousand years ago.
