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 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.
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... I also really like the theory that they are descendants of explorers from the great empire of the dawn who followed a falling star to the mouth of the torrentine river and founded Starfall
I really hope that the age of heroes prequel brings the Red Kings of House Bolton against the Winter Kings of House Stark. I would love to see that again, because both houses have very interesting history, and the fact that we don't know enough about the Boltons than the Starks.
well its to bad for all of you the age of heroes isnt happening, considering hbo canceled it for being to woke, now they are doing aegon;s conquest of westeros, which will have generational characters for years to come and lots of great targaryen heroes and kings to get behind. Dragon riders will be cool, hopefully they throw in some white walker stuff for good measure.
Could you perhaps make a video about the mercenary companies of game of thrones/ asoiaf, I'm aware they exist like the second Suns and the golden company, but I'm curious if there are more.
+CivilizationEx Hey man I've been enjoying the videos for quite a long time now. I really like how much depth and information you share in these multiple fictional library type videos. Keep it up man and I'm really stoked that your channel has blown up recently! I can't donate to the patreon seeing as I'm a poor student but keep it going man! Ps I especially enjoy the middle earth universe videos. It gave me a good understanding that sometimes the books might not have explained clearly.
Me before watching this video : “Wow I can’t wait to find out what kind of elaborate stunt lann the clever pulled off, a hero known for his cleverness, this has to be an elaborate scheme nobody else could have been capable of” The video : “lann covered himself in butter, snuck in that B and pretended to be a ghost, scaring the family away from their castle”
any plans for the exploration of more of the lesser known noble houses such as House Wythers in the Reach since their house sigil is a gray squirrel and that squirrels are now trending and exceptionally awesome (did not see them mentioned in your previous episodes)
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?
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...
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.
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.
Can you make a video about War of the conquest? when Aegon I Targaryen attack westeros. and the attack of Dorne after War of the Conquest. Can you make a video? plsss. Thank You very ver much if you do that..
Wait, didn't Sansa say that the Starks were vassals to the barrow kings before the long night/wall being built, so how would bran the builder be the founder of house Stark?
I've wondered if the series will end with Bran Stark being reborn as Bran the Builder, and then reborn as every Bran therafter. This could explain several statements made by the 3 Eyed Raven while Bran was under his tutalidge.
Hey! What do you think about this theory? The lands of always Winter (North of Westros) and the grey waste (East of Essos) are connected. Which means that the army of the dead may overcome the entire know world. Or do you think there are more civilisations eastern of the known world?
I believe in that theory, that the east and west are connected through the North, it explains how to White Walks invaded Yi Ti and the East during the Long Night.
This is very confusing.... I thought this was after the andals invasion with exception of Northern houses. Cus like why would andals keep the same houses from the first men?
In some cases the Andals married into First Men Houses, in the North, they defeated the Andals and were never conquered. But the Andal invasion was many years later, I have a timeline video you can watch if you would like more info.
I don't understand how the pact happens but then 2000 years pass before the long night.. I always thought the pact was during the long night and that was when the children taught men how to fight the white walkers
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.
I need this Lannister casterly rock situation explained further
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.
I mean, no one has to "come up with that" it's just logical.

Bran the builder can he fix it, yes he can!
Sheepboss Gaming LOL!
Sheepboss Gaming hahaha
Lamo
Nice lol
Looking through these comments, I see you get a lot of people praising you, so I won't simply say how great you are...
But you are pretty amazing
The age of heroes was epic and I believe every story of Brandon The Builder
Bran the Builder looks like a hockey player.
I hope George R.R Martin reveals more ASOIAF history in his upcoming books. So you can always do these videos:)
met your channel by accident, one of the best random encounters on the internet, keep up the good work !
Thank you! :)

High quality as always ;) liked.
Thank you! :)
Bloody Gate is too Op

BloodyMaryV Gotta get through like 3 castles to get to the Eyrie. I call hax.
+Thomaslawlet Nerf won't go live until ADOS
+Ben Cook I will try brb
Learn so much watching your videos about ASOIAF thanks for the videos keep up the great work
Looking forward to this spinoff coming soon!
awsome that you are updating your videos when new info comes to light!
House Dayne is really fascinating and I think it will play an important role in the future of the series... I also really like the theory that they are descendants of explorers from the great empire of the dawn who followed a falling star to the mouth of the torrentine river and founded Starfall
great video I can't wait to see more videos about westeros
I like to think the more fantastical of A Song Of Ice And Fire Lore is true cause it makes the world more interesting
I remember when you only had 2000 subscribers, good job you deserve even more
I really hope that the age of heroes prequel brings the Red Kings of House Bolton against the Winter Kings of House Stark. I would love to see that again, because both houses have very interesting history, and the fact that we don't know enough about the Boltons than the Starks.
This videos are amazing, the narrative, the information, the art. Very enjoyable!
Thank you for keeping me entertained,love your vids.
Do you find all this in the books? Thats a lot of research! Keep it up proud of ya!
most of the information is probably from the World of Ice and Fire book GRRM did
Here getting ready for the prequal series xD
well its to bad for all of you the age of heroes isnt happening, considering hbo canceled it for being to woke, now they are doing aegon;s conquest of westeros, which will have generational characters for years to come and lots of great targaryen heroes and kings to get behind. Dragon riders will be cool, hopefully they throw in some white walker stuff for good measure.
You should do Ser Duncan the Tall
Every day in every way you keep getting better and better!
i hope they make a series about this
Could you perhaps make a video about the mercenary companies of game of thrones/ asoiaf, I'm aware they exist like the second Suns and the golden company, but I'm curious if there are more.
Already did! Check it out if you are interested :)
ruclips.net/video/5qqG-RBGnDI/видео.html
Wow. You are a man of many talents
I would like to see an adaptation of this period....lot's of important details here.
Not stopping til I comment on every video and remind you how great your work is.
damn he wouldn't even acknowledge you......wtf
+CivilizationEx Hey man I've been enjoying the videos for quite a long time now. I really like how much depth and information you share in these multiple fictional library type videos.

Keep up the good work, love these.
This is my substitute for watching the actual show.
Prequel will be based on this.
Song name is Before Dawn by Jason Shaw.
The Griffin King and Winged Knight story sounds like Elder Scrolls story for some reason
Honestly if I was in a castle on top of a literal gold mine I would absolutely not abandon it cause of some punk ghost being annoying
You do a great job on these types of videos. All of your Song Of Fire And Ice videos are great.
Keep up the good work.
Me before watching this video : “Wow I can’t wait to find out what kind of elaborate stunt lann the clever pulled off, a hero known for his cleverness, this has to be an elaborate scheme nobody else could have been capable of” The video : “lann covered himself in butter, snuck in that B and pretended to be a ghost, scaring the family away from their castle”
Excellent use of music
loving the music
Could you please do a focus series on either The One Sith, Cade Skywalker, or Darth Krayt? If you decide to, I'd really appreciate it.
Who writes the extended universe stuff??
A lot of it was written by Elio and Linda from Westeros.org, though everything was edited and approved by GRRM
Awesome channel dude. Keep up the good work
0:53 when you recognize the drown god image cuz it’s just Poseidon from god of war 3😂
this video may get more views now that the prequel has announced
awesome video! what about a video focusing on the differences between the books and the tv show?
Bran would have existed sometime after the age of hero’s if it ended at the beginning of the long night
now this is some interesting lore!
now this is some pretty shitty profile pic
any plans for the exploration of more of the lesser known noble houses such as House Wythers in the Reach since their house sigil is a gray squirrel and that squirrels are now trending and exceptionally awesome (did not see them mentioned in your previous episodes)
I do eventually plan to continue my Minor Houses series, I will add House Wythers to the list :)
CivilizationEx *yay!* (the dance of joy begins) look forward to what you discover
10,000 years and they're all still fighting each other like the middle ages
Whoa, holdon. If the Grey King ruled for over a thousand years, that means humans had longer life spans at one point right?

B Black 1 word, magic
B Black he probebly didnt.
I'm pretty sure they were fleeing the Valyrians, sort of like the Rhoynar.
I think the empure of gist might if pushed the first men out
Z T the valerians wouldn’t come to power until thousands of years after the arm of dorne was destroyed
I love these videos.

2,000 years *is* a pretty long time lol.
you sir get me through my day
As amazing as always
Been hearing a theory that Lann the clever was actually a women.
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.
And now we're getting a prequel on this
I thought the Brackens were an Andal house?
great job on the video
Thank you! :)
Hey i was wondering if you were gonna make a video about the Xindi from Star trek enterprise.
BTW Great video keep up the good work! =)
I will add it to my list of topics :)
A history on the Vaadwaur from Star Trek would be interesting.
To fight each other? 💥🔥🔥
I die laughing every time he starts talking during the piano music because I think he's gonna start rapping. I expect a rap video now
Which song are you using from Audionautix? It really fits and it's gorgeous.
This one is called "Before Dawn"
CivilizationEx Thanks!
Are you going to make updated long night video
Yes, will be out in a couple weeks :)
CivilizationEx that's great
Can you make a video about War of the conquest? when Aegon I Targaryen attack westeros. and the attack of Dorne after War of the Conquest. Can you make a video? plsss. Thank You very ver much if you do that..
There has been talks that Symeon Star-Eyes is The Night King
was ser arthur dayne Azor Ahai ? also will u do an actually really life history video e.g rome julius caesar? great videos
When you showed the houses of the Iron Islands you showed house Grimm from the Shield Islands. Why?
Yes thank you!
Wait, didn't Sansa say that the Starks were vassals to the barrow kings before the long night/wall being built, so how would bran the builder be the founder of house Stark?
where do you get all this info?
The World of Ice and Fire has much of it, but you can get some from the main books.
The books
What happened to the casterlys after they left casterly rock?
+Vin no one know for sure, some think they were wiped out others think they married into the lannister family.
ah okay thank you had that question on my mind for couple weeks now
Hadn't you done a video on the age of heroes years ago? as well as on a few other videos I've seen come out recently.
Yes I am redoing my oldest videos with updated information
Symeon Stareyes is fucking badass!
i thought the age of heroes was after the long night, as bran the builder built the wall to prevent white walkers from returning.
I've wondered if the series will end with Bran Stark being reborn as Bran the Builder, and then reborn as every Bran therafter. This could explain several statements made by the 3 Eyed Raven while Bran was under his tutalidge.
🤣
what's the name of the song used in the video?
Varberg darude sandstorm
Aron Johansson good one
Aron Johansson that joke is like fifteen years old already.
Hey! What do you think about this theory? The lands of always Winter (North of Westros) and the grey waste (East of Essos) are connected. Which means that the army of the dead may overcome the entire know world. Or do you think there are more civilisations eastern of the known world?
I believe in that theory, that the east and west are connected through the North, it explains how to White Walks invaded Yi Ti and the East during the Long Night.
Bababuzi q
symeon star eyes looks like a wight to me
what is the link to the music instead of a link to the website
What's the name of the font
This is very confusing.... I thought this was after the andals invasion with exception of Northern houses. Cus like why would andals keep the same houses from the first men?
In some cases the Andals married into First Men Houses, in the North, they defeated the Andals and were never conquered. But the Andal invasion was many years later, I have a timeline video you can watch if you would like more info.
what happens with jons wildling lady friend in the books?
how about house mudd ?
All of these are new, right ? From the "World of Ice and fire " ?
I don't understand how the pact happens but then 2000 years pass before the long night.. I always thought the pact was during the long night and that was when the children taught men how to fight the white walkers
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.
So prequel will have no dragons?
I'm here because I want some context on the new Bloodmoon prequel but I'm sure the History could have been written by the winners
Great vid but maybe quieter music..... ;)
Bran the builder
Bran the broken
real recognizes real
can someone tell me something about RED TUSK
And soon, a new HBO series is coming taking place in this age.
What about the last hero?
I wonder what happened to house casterly.
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.
Also Lann keep the name Casterly on the castle
Where is Clarence Crabb? Or was he not from the age of heroes?
I don't think he's directly connected to the Age of Heroes or any specific time period, though he may have existed at that time.
CivilizationEx
Right, still a great video though! Don't get me wrong XD
Do house sisterton
The wall was built after the long night
Game of Thrones is an example of history not translating very well in Fantasy.
dunno if I'd call thaat 2000 years of "peace"
