    I need this Lannister casterly rock situation explained further

    • @theaveon1214
      @theaveon1214 3 роки тому +18

      It was probably a case of Lan, secretlymurdering off all of house Casterly, so the current lord legitimised a bastard related to Lan as his heir making house Lannister.

    • @theaveon1214
      @theaveon1214 3 роки тому +5

      I mean, no one has to "come up with that" it's just logical.

    • @alexanderb5726
      @alexanderb5726 2 роки тому +10

      @@theaveon1214 That doesn't really seem like the *probable* case. Lann would've had to spend an enormous amount of time in managing to assassinate all Casterlys with enough quietude as to not be caught. That version is rather fantastical, what the lore states as probable is that Lann served Lord Casterly as retainer and managed to sway Casterly to let him wed his daughter whom Lann impregnated. Having no male issues the Casterly name then went extinct as the Casterly child of the lady and Lann became the first Lannister.

      @DaveyFish1 2 роки тому +7

      According to the ASOIAF wiki “Stories differ in the method by which Lann took Casterly Rock from House Casterly. In the most common version, Lann, having stripped naked and coated himself in butter, squeezed through a secret cleft in the stone. Once inside he confused the sleeping Casterlys by whispering threats, howling like a demon, stealing treasures from one brother and placing them in the bedchamber of another, and rigging traps. Thus, he set the Casterlys at odds with one another and convinced them their seat was haunted.”

    Despite House Stark being my favorite of the Noble families of Westeros, I'd say that my favorite icon from this time period is Garth Greenhand, then Bran the builder and then, well everyone else.

    House Dayne is really fascinating and I think it will play an important role in the future of the series...

Dragon riders will be cool, hopefully they throw in some white walker stuff for good measure.

    10,000 - 8,000 BC? I never really payed much attention to the dates here, but I always assumed that the Age of Heroes was much longer than that. Hmmm...

    • @GarrisonHat
      @GarrisonHat 8 років тому +4

      The Pact (10K BC) to the Andal Invasions (6K BC) is also regarded as a rough time frame for the Age of Heroes. Of course this dating should be taken with a grain of salt with the Andals credited with having brought writing to Westeros.

  • @Peecamarke
    @Peecamarke 7 років тому +21

    Whoa, holdon. If the Grey King ruled for over a thousand years, that means humans had longer life spans at one point right? Or is this conjecture amongst Westorosi, like how Brandon the builder's efforts could possibly be attributed to successors who held the same name? Also, I wonder what drove the first men to migrate from Essos over the bridge of Dorne. From history we've seen most cultures migrated from place to place and even one continent to another for ecological purposes or things like food and so on. Like with the Andols it seemed to be religion kinda like Crusaders. But I don't believe there was anything wrong with the Essos continent earlier on in ancient dys before the Andols and Valyrians and it doesn't mention the first Men having anything similar to a manifest destiny maybe it was food?

    One slightly weird thing is the logic in that the First Men who reached Westeros via Dorne and settled in the North, actually continued all the way to the North. It is far less hospitable than the rest of the continent and having to pass the fertile Reach, parts of the rich Westerlands and Riverlands, you'd think the first migrating peoples wouldn't feel incentive to continue so far as to come into a very cold climate.

      According to the known timeline, the Long Night was 2000 years later. However that is based on what the people of Westeros believe from stories and rough estimates, the actual dates of these events are not known and there are theories that these events were closer together than we understand.

      There is a theory that what really happened was that Lann married one of Lord Casterly's daughters, and with no other heirs Lann inherited Casterly Rock and so that's why House Lannister seemed to take over the Westerlands over night, and House Casterly completely disappeared.
