More or Less. But then came the Long Night. In this time, night seems to last for a generation, and the longest, coldest and darkest winter descends on Westeros.To Be Clear this is the Longest Winter that has ever happened in westeros in that time. "The Long Night lasted a generation and laid waste through famine and terror." Not sure if that's the case in the present. I think it is still and the current winter won't surpass it.Even though the long night did a huge impact on westeros, I believe that the other parts of the world as well.Specially "The realms of men". "The Rhoynar tell of a darkness that made the Rhoyne of Essos dwindle and disappear, her waters frozen as far south as the joining of the Selhoru, until a hero convinced the many children of Mother Rhoyne, such as the Crab King and the Old Man of the River, to put aside their bickering and join in a secret song that brought back the day""Other legends from the Further East, including Yi Ti, state the Blood Betrayal began the Long Night. The Lion of Night was unleashed upon the world after the Maiden-Made-of-Light turned her back on it.According to a legend from Yi Ti, during the Long Night the sun hid its face for a lifetime, ashamed at something none could discover, and disaster was only averted by the deeds of a woman with a monkey's tail."<img src="http://watchersonthewall.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/2016-Calendar.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The Others / Whitewalkers <img src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/aa/32/81/aa32810c563ce0b76fc121e794f870c6.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> According to Westerosi legends, in the midst of this darkness a race of apparent demons, called the Others, emerged from the uttermost north of Westeros, the polar regions of the Lands of Always Winter. (You can check the lands of always winter from the map. And understand that this part of land is never been discovered properly and no one knows how vast or large this area is) They wielded razor-thin swords of ice and raised wights to fight the living. The children of the forest and their allies, the First Men, fought valiantly against them, but were driven southwards by their advance. Wall.Who are White Walkers? Where do they come from? Do they come from a different world? Or have they been here for ages since the beginning? What do they want?? There are so many questions that have been unanswered about them. (Do not mitake them with "Wights".) Wights are dead men or creatures raised up by the Others, seemingly when touched by the cold that accompanies them. Anyone who falls against the Others must be burned, or else the dead will rise again as their thralls. Fear of their own dead becoming wights leads the free folk to burn them.In an email to his comic book artist, George R.R. Martin described the race as "the Sidhe(supernatural being) made of ice"<a href="http://www.bustle.com/articles/88177-9-answers-about-game-of-thrones-white-walkers-so-you-can-finally-know-more-than-jon" target="_blank">You can find some kind of answers to those questions here (click)</a>In the books the first and foremost incident of encountering the others is the prologue of the first book "A game of thrones". It is the same as in the TV series. During a ranging beyond the Wall, <a href="http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Waymar_Royce" target="_blank">Ser Waymar Royce</a> is slain by Others. He then rises as a wight and kills Will. Gared is able to escape and flee south of the Wall, but he is executed for desertion by Lord Eddard Stark. Ser Waymar Royce Is the third & youngest son of Yohn Royce (Bronce yohn). Yohn is a skilled knight who wields himself with a special bronze armour passed down his house (Thus called as bronze yohn). He has competed in several tourneys & melees. Bronze Yohn comes to action in the later books when deciding who is going to control the Vale Of Arryn. The Others were eventually checked when it was discovered that weapons made of dragonglass could kill them. Legends from the North claim that the last hero made contact with the children. The first members of the Night's Watch drove the Others back in the Battle for the Dawn. (I'll get to the Battle Of Dawn and Azor Ahai later on) The Building Of The Wall <img src="http://assets0.exame.abril.com.br/assets/images/2014/3/482231/size_810_16_9_game-of-thrones.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The Wall was created by Brandon the Builder after the Long Night to defend the realms of man from the wildlings and Others. Approximately 300 miles in length and 700 feet in height, the Wall is protected by the Night's Watch and according to some, ancient spells and sorcery. Supposedly, Brandon the Builder had placed his foundations along the heights wherever possible. Several mentions in the text suggest that the Wall was much smaller at the time, having been built upon by the Night's Watch builders, who quarried huge blocks of ice from frozen lakes in the haunted forest and dragged them south to make the Wall higher, raising it over the centuries to its present size. However, the severely reduced Night's Watch at the present time is limited to maintenance duty. A total of nineteen fortresses have been built along the Wall though only three, The Shadow Tower, Castle Black and Eastwatch-by-the-Sea are occupied at the start of A Song of Ice and Fire. It is said that Brandon the Builder got the help of the giants to build the wall and it is reinforced by the magic of the children of the forest The nights watches' numbers have dwindles through the years because the kings and lords in the later years didn't put much interest into garrisoning the wall thinking that there will never be a threat again. In the beginning of the times, becoming a member of the watch was deemed as a worthy task but today it has changed. In the beginning of the song of Ice & Fire story The "Shadow Tower" is commanded by Sir Denys Mallister, The "Eastwatch by the Sea" by Cotter Pyke & "Castle Black" by Lord Commander Joer Mormont (Jorah mormont's father) One of the most interesting things about the wall is that it is only been built to withstand the attacks from the north. If the wall is been attacked from the south it'll be helpless. The Wall provides a tremendous tactical advantage to its defenders, enabling a small group to hold off a much larger force. Defenders are generally beyond the range of bow shot or catapult and in turn rely on archery, catapult and dropped objects to deter an assault. In particular, barrels containing rocks frozen in ice are effective in dispersing a mass charge. Attackers must rely on one of two tactics, a direct assault on one of the few well-defended gates, or scaling the Wall in small groups and attacking a gate from the rear. The gates have been designed with features such as murder holes and limited access that make them difficult to force. In an extreme case, gates can be filled with rock and ice, thus becoming as impervious as any other part of the wall. Scaling the Wall involves similar difficulties. A team of determined climbers can reach the top, but only if undetected by defenders, who can easily knock them off with dropped objects or archery. The Wall is thought to "defend itself", disgorging sheets of its own ice. According to legend, the Wall is vulnerable to the Horn of Joramun. <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/comments/38vjxa/spoilers_all_the_wall_and_the_coming_of_the_long/" target="_blank">Here are some fan theories and rumors to the wall and how it is bidden by magic and the coming of the long night (click)</a> White Walkers and The Long Night Explained (Some things he say may not be totally true) [YOUTUBE]xXrxjzN6V8k[/YOUTUBE] In the next post I'll cover what happened in the battle of Dawn & about the legend of Azor Ahai.
