The sword, Dawn, becomes the greatest heirloom of House Dayne. 1700 BC A warrior of Dorne forges a great and powerful sword from a fallen meteorite. They tame the dragons and use them to forge a great empire, throwing down the eastern rival of Ghis in warfare five times before it finally capitulates. 5000 BC The shepherds of the lands of Valyria on the eastern continent discover dragons lairing in the Fourteen Fires, a great ring of volcanoes across the neck of the Valyrian Peninsula. After centuries of fighting, the Andals establish six kingdoms in the south, while the north remains in the hands of the First Men, due in large part to the strategically located fortress of Moat Cailin resisting multiple attempts to take it and thereafter serving as the door between North and South. They fight both the First Men and the Children of the Forest, finally extinguishing the latter everywhere south of the Wall. The Andals, as they become known, invade Westeros with steel weapons and the new religion of the Faith of the Seven. The people of the hills become their worshippers.

6000 BC Seven holy beings appear in the Hills of Andalos on the eastern continent, apparently avatars of a supreme god.

This may be the same Joramun who also finds the Horn of Winter, which it is said he uses to awaken giants from the earth. The Starks in Winterfell and the King-beyond-the-Wall, Joramun, join forces to defeat the Night's King and restore honour to the Watch. 8000 BC The thirteenth Lord Commander of the Night's Watch is seduced by a wildling woman from beyond the Wall and becomes the Night's King, with the Watch as his personal army. According to other legends, this is also the time when the castle of Storm's End is built in the south, and the designer of the Wall, Brandon Stark (called Bran the Builder), also constructs Winterfell and becomes the first King in the North. The Sworn Brotherhood of the Night's Watch is created to man and guard it. This is the time when the Wall is built, a giant fortification in the north of the continent protecting the races of men from the menaces of the north. The Others are finally defeated in the War for the Dawn by an alliance of men wielding fire and obsidian weapons led by a great hero, who in an eastern tradition is named ' Azor Ahai', and wields a great sword of fire named Lightbringer. 8000 BC) At the time of a terrible winter that seems to last for a generation, a demonic race called the Others invades from the north and nearly conquers Westeros. The fortress of Moat Cailin is built circa 10,000 years ago. The First Men adopt the gods of the Children, the nameless gods of the forest. After the initial clashes with the Children of the Forest, which includes the destruction of the land bridge and the abortive destruction of the Neck, the First Men reconcile with the Children and sign the Pact on the Isle of Faces, which brings about a four thousand year peace in Westeros. The First Men introduce bronze, leather shields, and horses to the continent. 12000 BC The First Men come to Westeros from the eastern continent, via a land bridge then connecting the two land masses. Though it didn't start right after the end of the conquest it started with Aegon's second coronation in Oldtown.īefore Aegon's Conquest Dawn Age (before 12000 BC) In the Dawn Age, Westeros is inhabited by the Children of the Forest, and possibly by giants in the far North. The religion of the Lord of Light with people being used as human sacrifices, even possibly children, and the use of shadow magic is also a big no to me.This timeline attempts to lay out the history of Westeros and Essos based on dates and information given in the novels and supporting material.ĭates are given in the calendar of the War of Conquest. Same for the Dothraki to a lesser degree since they showed more positive traits but are still a very ruthless and violent culture with some customs I find really alien such as eating a stallion heart before a birth. I am also unimpressed by their religion of the Drowned God, with Euron Greyjoy himself mocking his countrymen for their idea of gods. The Ironborn culture is really one that I find disgusting and nauseous due to how petty, hypocrital, arrogant, cowardly and revanchist most of the Ironborn are with their obsession for pillage and theft and enthrallment of people, their unability to learn of their history and defeats and how narrow-minded and short-sighted most of them are. Among the many people, ethnicities, religions and cultures present in Westeros, Essos or the other places of ASOIAF world which ones do you find to be really disgusting and repulsive or even outright despicable due to how alien or cruel the customs and mentality of those part of this culture are ?
