Part 3/9:
The Long Night: An Encounter with Darkness
As the ages progressed, the consequences of this new order rippled down the generations. Around 8,000 BC, Westeros faced an unprecedented calamity—the Long Night. A harsh winter emerged, bringing with it the terrifying White Walkers from the far north, who sought to annihilate humanity.
During this time of despair, the First Men and the Children of the Forest forged an alliance against the common threat. Their combined force discovered the power of dragonglass as a weapon against the White Walkers, managing to repel the tide of death that threatened their existence. This struggle birthed legendary heroes, including Azor Ahai, whose tale became a beacon of hope.
