![]() ![]() 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 in the north Lann the Clever, founder of House Lannister, who winkles Casterly Rock from the Casterlys in the westerlands or Garth the Gardener, founder of House Gardener in the Reach. Also during this the Storm Kings of House Durrandon arise in the stormlands-a line with figures such as the founding Durran Godsgrief, supposed builder of Storm's End-and the Grey King rules the ironborn of the Iron Islands. The 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. ![]()
