The First Men Arrive In Westeros

The First Men arrived in Westeros around 12,000 years before Aegons Landing. They came mounting their great stallions, armed with bronze swords and leathern shields.

The First Men came from the eastern continent, Essos, crossing over the land bridge, which over time would be known as the Arm of Dorne that once connected the two great continents, Westeros and Essos, together.

The First Men were lead to Westeros under the command of the First King. Not much is known about the First King, but according to folklore his grave sight is contained within the Great Barrow located in the North.

Upon the First Men’s arrival into Westeros they swept through the lands settling in the new lands, building holdfasts and farms. It was during this time the First Men started cutting down the carved weirwood trees, enraging the Children of the Forest. This would lead to the two thousand year war between the Children of the Forest and the First Men.

It is believed that during the First Men’s exploration of Westeros that they discovered the Seastone Chair on the shores of Old Wyk, upon their arrival to the Iron Islands.
