About six thousand years after the arrival of the ancestors, a group of new invaders came across the narrow sea from the mainland of Essos. They are called "Andals". Armed with steel weapons and a new belief in the Seven Gods, the Andars went to war with the children of the forest and their ancestors. In this war, the children of the forest almost perished, and the remaining ancestors were forced to flee to the north, and their descendants still believe in the old God.

7. The Rise and Fall of Valyria (The Rise and Fall of Valyria)

In the next thousand years, the Valyrians discovered dragons in the volcano and successfully tamed them. With the help of dragons, Valyrian quickly became the world's most prosperous and wealthy civilization.

3. Religion

1. The Faith of the Seven

The Faith of the Seven Gods was brought to Westeros by the Andals, and it is also the main faith of the Seven Kingdoms. Believers believe that their god has seven faces. The belief in the Seven Gods is often intertwined with the families of those in power, and the clergy serve the major families. Female members-also known as "Septas"-served as hostesses in noble families. And High Septon-pastors appointed to public office, have a lot of power in the capital, and they have to give up their names when they take office.

2. The Lord of Light

The God of Light is the main deity of Essos, and several cities have built huge temples for him. However, in Westeros, the God of Light is still a concept full of exotic and mysterious colors, and people generally question the existence of the "God of Light". The defenders of the God of Light are called "Red Priests". They are dressed in crimson robes, symbolizing a fiery heart. Every night, the red-robed priests would pray for the god of light to bring back the dawn-"the night is long and sinister."

3. The Many-Faced God

The god of death with a thousand faces is the belief of the Braavos people. The temple used for worship is called "the House Of Black and White" (the House of Black and White), where the hard-working people will get a good death. The priests of the Thousand Faces are called "faceless ones". They have the ability to disguise and are a secret assassin organization. "Valar Morghulis" is a high-level Valyrian language, meaning "every mortal is mortal", while the corresponding word "Valar Dohaeris" means "all mortals need to serve."

4. The Old Gods

Long before the ancestors arrived on the mainland, the old gods, also known as the gods of nature, were the beliefs of the children of the forest. It dates back to when the ancestors survived the attacks of the Andals, the old gods were still believed . The old gods had no names or temples. Instead, they worshipped in front of red and white fish beams decorated with beautifully carved faces. All nobles once planted hearth trees in the godswood, but as the seven gods prospered, the influence of the old gods gradually declined, and many forests were transformed into gardens.

5. The Drowned God

Only in the Iron Islands, people worship the drowned god. In Westeros, this is the third largest faith. Its origin can be traced back to thousands of years before the Andal invasion. The followers of Yanshen believed that he could bring flames from the bottom of the sea, and their duty was to steal, rape, and kill. As a kind of sacrifice, the Ironborn need to perform a flooding ritual-completely immersed in water to show that they are dedicated to the drowning god, most of them-certainly not all-will be successfully resurrected. The ritual process needs to be supervised by the Drowned Men, the priest of the religion.

6. Kingsmoot

The election of the king is a traditional ritual for the residents of the Iron Islands to choose the king. Any leader can say his own name, but the final owner of the Iron Throne must convince the islanders that whoever has the highest voice will be elected. After being elected, the new king must pass the sacrificial test under the supervision of Yanren. The so-called "What is dead may never die, but rises again, harder and Stronger”) The Drowning God will give him salt, rock and steel. Once the new king coughs up the sea, it means that he has passed the Drowning God’s test and has the qualifications to be a king.

4. Organization (partial)

1. The Iron Bank of Braavos (The Iron Bank of Braavos)

The richest bank in the known world. Since the success of Robert Baratheon’s revolution, the Iron Bank has been funding the Iron Throne. Candidates and conquerors for the throne, as long as they believe that they are competitive with the Iron Throne, will seek sponsorship from the Iron Bank for their revolution. "The Iron Bank cannot be owed." King Joffrey's grandfather-Tywin. Lannister borrowed money from the Iron Bank all the year round and was heavily in debt. After his death, Cersei became a debtor.

2. The Small Council

The Conclave is a think tank for the owners of the Iron Throne. When the ruler is absent, his regent (The Hand), the king’s hand and the head of the council, will represent him. The regent of Queen Cersei is Cobain. (The regents of the past generations include Jon Allyn, Ned Stark, Tywin Lannister, etc.)

3. The City Watch

The duty of The City Watch is to guard the security and stability of King's Landing City. The guardians are also called "Golden Robes" because of their eye-catching golden cloaks. The "Golden Robe" are mercenaries in the kingdom, but unlike other organizations in the Seven Kingdoms, they don't show allegiance to anyone.

4. The Kingsguard

The birth of the Royal Forest Iron Guard can be traced back to the dynasty of Aegon the Conqueror. They are a very elite force whose duty is to ensure the safety of members of the royal family. The members of the Yulin Tiewei swear to their responsibilities and are not allowed to marry wives, have children, or own territories. When Jamie Lannister was a teenager, he swore to join the Royal Guard, but when he fought side by side with Robert Baratheon and killed the "Mad King", his pledge was broken. Like Jamie, Barristan Selmi was also a member of the Royal Forest Iron Guard during the "Mad King" regency, but he never wavered his duties. Robert Baratheon fancy his loyalty, not only forgave him, but also appointed him as Lord Commander. When Joffrey took the throne, he cut his position and appointed Jamie as the commander-in-chief of the army.

5. Maesters of the Citadel

Bachelors are generally dressed in gray robes with heavy chains. They are generally teachers, scholars or doctors in the Seven Kingdoms and the Night Watch. Bachelors do not need family or political loyalty to anyone. They are only called Title plus name. Once they have completed all their studies in the school city, they will be assigned to different families, observe the changing of the seasons, and use crow communication. The bachelor's necklace needs to be worn all the time and cannot be taken off even when sleeping, which marks their academic field. Each of the thousands of chains has been specially crafted to represent a certain academic field.

6. The Dothraki

The Dothraki people are a people on horseback who live on the Essos continent outside the free city-state. The members are called Karratha and are led by "Kao". The strength of a Kao can be judged from the length of his hair-Kao only cuts his hair when he loses. The Dothraki seize everything by brute force: the tribes attacked will pay tribute to them slaves and food, and there is no "thank you" in their language. Although the Dothraki people often fight for looting, they also have their own city-state-Vis Dothraki. Vis Doslak has no walls, and is ruled by the widows left behind by the deceased Kaor. Visitors to Vis Doslak cannot draw their swords. Because the Dothraki did not trust the water source, their horses could not drink water, and they had never left the continent of Essos until their allegiance to Daenerys. Later, the Dothraki and their queen crossed the narrow sea and fought for her on the continent of Westeros.

7. The Alchemists' Guild

Originally composed of a group of alchemists who were versed in magic and were displaced by their bachelor's replacement, the union was led by Harlem the Wise, who was ordered to the Union Hall under Rhaenys's Hill in King's Landing. One of their special skills is to create "wildfire", a liquid that can ignite in an overheated environment or a tiny spark. Due to its large size, wildfires can cause very lethal explosions, and the flames they cause are also difficult to extinguish. The Mad King Iris was keen to burn his enemies to death, and he was particularly fascinated by "wildfire".

5. Tragedy at Summerhall (Tragedy at Summerhall)

The tragedy of the Midsummer Hall was a fire that occurred in the Midsummer Hall of the Targaryen family's summer residence in the year 259 of the Aegon calendar.

At the end of the reign of Aegon Targaryen V, he increasingly wanted to bring the dragon back to the world, and sent people to Asia to try to collect ancient scrolls and legends about the dragon. In the 259th year of the Aegon calendar, he summoned his relatives and friends to the Midsummer Hall to celebrate the birth of his first great-grandson Leijia, and decided to bring the dragon back to the world at the same time.

The detailed cause of the fire is unknown. According to Sir Barristan Selme, the incident was related to rebellion and witchcraft.

According to the final record of Bachelor of Guldan, the flow of the entire event can be roughly inferred. The king prepared seven dragon eggs (to show the seven gods), which might be hatched with wildfire with the help of the Pyromancer, but the fire went out of control and spread. The Captain of the Royal Forest Guard, Sir "Tall" Duncan, bravely saved some people, but he himself, King Aegon V and the king's eldest son, Prince Duncan, "Short", and many others died unfortunately, including Bachelor Guldan. After escaping from the fire, Aegon V's granddaughter Leila gave birth to her and her brother Iris's eldest son Rega. Only a few witnesses survived, and they did not want to mention the tragedy.
