History:

Age of Dawn: Westeros is inhabited by Forest Children and Giants. The First Men
invade Westeros down through the arm of Dorne, which is magically broken apart b
y the Children into Stepstones islands. As the Men reinforce by ship, a fierce b
attle ensues. Eventually the Children of the Forest call down the Hammer of the
waters to shatter Westeros in two but only succeed in flooding the Neck and tran
sform its fields into swamps and bogs. This magnificient display leads to the si
gning of the pact: the Children occupy the forests while the Men take over the o
pen lands. The Ironborn settle in the Iron Islands and Crannogmen settle in the
Neck.
Age of Heroes: The Long Night comes and White Walkers invade from the north of W
esteros. Men and Children unite to defeat them, lead by Azor Ahai who bore the L
ightbringer sword. Brandon Stark raises the Wall, founds the Nightswatch, the Ca
stle of Winterfell and the House Stark, and becomes the first King in the North.
Children begin to disappear after the war. Those of the First Men who were left
on the North of the Wall became the Freefolk. The 13th Commander of the Nightsw
atch is seduced by a white-skinned woman from beyond the Wall. He sets himself u
p as king of the Wall and the Night's Watch, and conducts human sacrifices. The
Stark King in the North as well as the wildling King-Beyond-the-Wall, Joramun, u
nite to defeat him and restore the Night's Watch.
The Andal invasion: Andals invade from Essos, bearing weapons of iron, and bring
ing with them the Faith of the Seven. They succeed in conquering most of the sou
th of Westeros but eventually make peace with the North. The Andals kill the few
remaining Children as they encounter them and the survivors disappear. They con
quer the Iron Islands but the Andals over there assimilate to the original Ironb
orn culture and to the religion of the Drowned God.
The rise and fall of Valyria: Valyrians, shephards at the peninsula of Essos, di
scover dragons and tame them with magic. They go on to conquer all of Essos and
half of the Known World, until their peninsular stronghold is destroyed by errup
ting volcanoes. Most of the Valyrian dragons, who lair in the volcanoes when not
needed, are killed outright. The City of Valyria is partially buried under vast
amounts of ash. The Valyrian Peninsula fractures and breaks apart, and the wate
rs around Valyria remain poisonous till the present day. Free Cities gain their
independence from Valyrians. House Targaryen, one of the aristocratic families o
f the Valyrian Freehold, settles on Dragonstone island in Blackwater Bay, to est
ablish a Valyrian trading outpost.
The Targaryen Conquest: Aegon Targaryen invades Westeros using his secret weapon
: the only three dragons known to have survived the Doom. The Targaryen Conquest
resulted in the unification of six of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros:
Kingdom of the North, ruled by House Stark of Winterfell
Kingdom of the Mountain and the Vale, ruled by House Arryn of the Eyrie
Kingdom of the Isles and Rivers, ruled by House Hoare of castle Harrenhal. Forme
d when the Iron Islands conquered the Riverlands.
Kingdom of the Rock, ruled by House Lannister of Casterly Rock
Kingdom of the Stormlands, ruled by House Durrandon of Storm's End
Kingdom of the Reach, ruled by House Gardener of Highgarden
The seventh kingdom was the Principality of Dorne, ruled by House Martell of Sun
spear. A century later, a double marriage-alliance united the Martells with the
Iron Throne: King Daeron II Targaryen married Prince Maron Martell's sister, and
Prince Maron married Daeron II's sister Daenerys.
Robert's Rebellion: Aerys Targaryen, the Second of His Name, was the King of the
Seven Kingdoms and the last member of House Targaryen to sit on the Iron Throne
. Nicknamed the Mad King, his reign became increasingly erratic and murderous. A
s a result, tensions between House Targaryen and several other Great Houses bega

n to rise. The brutal fallout from Prince Rhaegar's abduction of Lyanna Stark of
Winterfell saw many Houses in the realm rebel against his rule. House Stark and
House Baratheon, to whom Lyanna was promised, were the first to protest Rhaegar
's actions. The Lannisters support their rebellion and Jamie, who was in the Kin
gsguard, slays the Mad King. Rhaegar was defeated by Baratheon, who being closes
t to the royal blood took the Iron Throne. Queen Rhaella fled to the Targaryen's
ancestral seat on the island of Dragonstone. She was accompanied by her son Vis
erys Targaryen, and was pregnant. Rhaella died soon after giving birth to Daener
ys Targaryen. The children were taken into exile in the Free Cities by loyal ret
ainers. Stannis went on to conquer Dragonstone and was made Lord of Dragonstone.
The Greyjoy Rebellion: Lord Balon Greyjoy leads a rebellion against King Robert'
s reign, attempting to secede the Iron Islands from the rest of the realm. After
several months of furious fighting in the Westerlands and Riverlands, King Robe
rt's forces push the ironborn back to Pyke and storm the castle. Balon capitulat
es and surrenders his only surviving son, Theon, as hostage and ward under Eddar
d Stark.
