And they play a major role into the development of a certain character and will play a huge role in the upcoming books & episodes in my opinion.The invasion of the <a href="http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/First_Men" target="_blank">First Men</a> A group of humans from Essos, the First Men, invades Westeros by crossing the Arm of Dorne, bearing weapons of bronze. The Children try to defend using their obsidian weapons and magic but helpless because the first men are stronger and much larger in numbers. They overtake lands and builds kingdoms.Among the children,there were <a href="http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Greenseer" target="_blank">greenseers</a>. They had the ability to see through the faces which were carved into the weirwoods. So the first men chopped down the weirwoods. That's why you can't find many weirwoods in westeros except in the northern castles. Moat Cailin was raised roughly ten thousand years ago by the First Men. According to myth, the children attempted to use Moat Cailin to hold back the flood of invading First Men by calling upon their nameless gods from Moat Cailin's Children's Tower to send down the "hammer of the waters" to break the lands of Westeros in two by shattering the Neck and separating the north from the south, in the same manner they shattered the Arm of Dorne centuries earlier. However, the children failed in the attempt and only succeeded in flooding the Neck, creating bogs and swamps.The wars went in the First Men's favor until the two sides reached a peace agreement, called the Pact, on the Isle of Faces. The First Men gave dominion of the deep woods to the children and promised not to put any weirwood trees to the axe anywhere in the realm. In return, they received claim to the rest of the Westeros.In the later battles  which are to come, Moat Calin has become a valuable place strategically. With a less number of people guarding correctly it could be defended against hordes of armies which are coming from the southSigning of the <a href="http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Pact" target="_blank">Pact</a> After years of warfare, the First Men and children of the forest come to a standstill and finally agree to a peaceful coexistence, signing the Pact on the Isle of Faces. This pact gives the First Men dominion over the open lands and lets the children keep control over the forested areas. In time, the First Men adopt the worship of the old gods of the forest.The old gods are still worshipped in the seven kingdoms by the northmen, crannogmen and the people beyond the wall. In the story we get a kind of special affection towards the old gods since the starks worship them.Age Of Heroes An era during the history of Westeros, which would be named so later for the great men and women who live in the years of peace and prosperity following the forging of the Pact. The Pact endures for nearly four thousand years, and in that time, the children of the forest and the First Men grow closer. In time, the First Men set aside many of their cultural differences to embrace the ways and customs of the children of the forest. With the exception of the Drowned God of the Iron Islands and the Lady of the Waves and Lord of the Skies of the Three Sisters, the gods of the children become those of the First Men. Many of the noble houses of Westeros today trace their lineage back to the Age of Heroes. This was the time when grand historical figures are said to have lived, such as Brandon the Builder, founder of House Stark; Lann the Clever, founder of House Lannister, who winkled Casterly Rock from the Casterlys; or Garth Greenhand, founder of House Gardener of the Reach. Also during this era the Storm Kings arise in the stormlands: a line with figures such as the founding Durran, supposed builder of Storm's End; and the Grey King, first king of the Iron Islands.Brandon The Builder<img src="http://awoiaf.westeros.org/images/0/03/Brandon_stark_the_builder_by_feliche.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Brandon Stark, also known as Brandon the Builder and Bran the Builder, was the legendary founder of House Stark who is said to have lived during the Age of Heroes. It is said that Brandon Stark built both Winterfell and The Wall with the help of the giants. Tales from the stormlands claim Brandon helped Durran build Storm's End (Baratheons' Castle) when he was a boy. Some stories claim King Uthor of the High Tower  commissioned Bran to design the stone Hightower at Oldtown (Where the citadel is & where masters learn), while others state it was Bran's son, who was also named BrandonThe Long Night In this time, night seems to last for a generation, and the longest, coldest and darkest winter descends on Westeros. The ice spreads down from the north, and under the cover of darkness, the Others invade Westeros from the uttermost north, marching, killing and raising up the dead to be their servants in unlife and nearly destroying all men in Westeros. The Long Night comes to an end with the Battle for the Dawn. The children and the First Men unite to defeat the Others with dragonglass weapons, with the Night's Watch pushing them back into the frozen reaches of the Far North.Legendary figures from this time include the last hero and Azor Ahai, who wields a great sword of fire, Lightbringer.I'm sure a lot of you knows about the tale of azor ahai. I'll try to describe it later onBuilding of the Wall With the Others defeated, Bran the Builder, with the aid of giants, the First Men, and perhaps the children of the forest, raises the Wall, a monumental fortification of ice and ancient magic, to shelter the realms of men from the menaces of the north. The Sworn Brotherhood of the Night's Watch guards the Wall. It is said that Bran the Builder also built Winterfell, became the first King in the North, and founded House Stark.I'll try to post much more stuff about the long night, azor ahai & then about the night's king <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/cool.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:" data-shortname=":cool:" /> Did a bit of copy pasting <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/lol.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="LOL    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /> and of course you can find all these things if you visit a wiki. But I'll post the timeline nevertheless. If you got questions feel free to ask.If anybody wants to carry the timeline on, be my guest <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /> I'll try to post some more stuff tomorrowCHEERS!!!</blockquote>
