Timeline of major events From A Wiki of Ice and Fire The
Timeline of major events attempts to lay out the most important
points in the history of Westeros and Essos, based on dates and
information given in the novels and supporting material. See
also: a thorough listing of events after Aegon's Landing.
According to tradition, the known history of Westeros extends
back over 12,500 years. However, the oldest historic recounts in
Westeros were only written after the Andals arrival to the
continent, as the First Men only used runes for carving on
stone. Everything written about the Age of Heroes, the Dawn Age,
and the Long Night originates from stories written down by
septons thousands of years later. The accuracy of the legends
and myths that recount much of this history is openly questioned
by the maesters of the Citadel, amongst others. All dates are in
relation to the Landing of Aegon the Conqueror, using negative
numbers for events before Aegon's Landing. Note, that 'ca' is an
abbreviation for the Latin word
