Very little is known about Westeros before the arrival of the First Men. The Children of the Forest lived here alongside the giants, though not always amicably. The Deep Ones also appear to have had certain structures built during this period. Of all the settlements that endured by the time of the Andal Invasions, only Oldtown can be said with any certainty to have existed in the Dawn Age. | Very little is known about Westeros before the arrival 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. Everywhere but in Dorne and on remote islands, they encountered the Children of the Forest - with whom initial cordial relations fell into conflict. Men chopped down weirwoods wherever they found them, and claimed the lands for themselves. | |||
