=== The Coming of the First Men ===

The First Men arrived in Westeros approximately seven thousand years before the [[Coming of the Andals]], crossing the Arm of Dorne and gradually spreading through the new continent, bringing the [[First Gods]], horses, cattle, sheep, and bronze<ref name="FirstMen8">George R.R. Martin. (2014). ''The World of Ice and Fire - The Coming of the First Men''. London: HarperVoyager. p.8.</ref>. Why they left is unknown. But the First Men came in the thousands from the very start, settling [[Dorne]] first in mere decades, and then moving northwards to the [[The Reach|Reach]]; the [[the Stormlands|Stormlands]]; and the [[The Riverlands|Riverlands]] over the next few centuries<ref name="Dorne237>George R.R. Martin. (2014). ''The World of Ice and Fire - Dorne: The Breaking''. London: HarperVoyager. p.237.</ref>. The [[Mountain and Vale]] and the [[the North|North]] would be the last regions they would settle<ref name="Dorne237>George R.R. Martin. (2014). ''The World of Ice and Fire - Dorne: The Breaking''. London: HarperVoyager. p.237.</ref>. The [[Iron Islands|Ironborn]] emerged as the First Men migrations continued, launching raids on the First Men kingdoms almost immediately, though it is unknown whether they themselves were First Men or an entirely different people.
