First Men

Line 10:

Garth Greenhand as a potential First King in Westeros who settled in the Reach is also called into question by the existence of the Green Kings - the self-proclaimed High Kings of Dorne who dwell near the mouth of the Greenblood. The similar associations of these kings with the harvest, fertility and a sense of community call into question the unique circumstances of Garth, and the kingdom his declared descendants forged in the Reach.

Whatever the case of where the First Men first settled, what is plain is that wherever they went, they encountered the elder races. The Giants of the Mountains and the Children of the Forest were most often encountered by men - and despite early attempts at cohabitation, this quickly devolved into outright conflict. Men cut down weirwoods, fearful of the strange Children watching them through those bleeding eyes. The wars between men, giants and the children were many and terrible, and did not truly end until the signing of The Pact on the Isle of Faces.

What prompted the Pact is uncertain. Some would claim that the Long Night was the beginning of cooperation between men and the children, whilst others would claim that the two races had begun to interbreed to the point that the boundaries between their interests were becoming ever more blurred. Whatever the case,
