== History ==

Very little is known about Westeros before the arrival of the First Men. The [[Children of the Forest]] lived here alongside the ~~[[Giants|~~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 [[Coming of the Andals~~|Andal invasions~~]], only Oldtown can be said with any certainty to have existed in the Dawn Age.

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 cut down and burned weirwoods wherever they found them, and claimed the lands for themselves.
