House of the Dragon Season 1 takes place over decades. Characters live, age, and die with every episode that passes by. Wars come and go, villains rise, and heroes fall, and the Targaryen dynasty stands true and proud all the same. Yet the Targaryen dynasty is not where Westeros’ history begins and ends. While there have only been two shows spelling out the conflicts in the region, the Game of Thrones timeline began long before the events of House of the Dragon.Long before Rhaenyra and Aegon II went to war and thousands of years before Aegon the Conqueror took his first steps on Westerosi soil, the people of Westeros were already engaging in shocking and awe-inspiring battles. Every conflict led to another, and the undying violence that stained Westeros’ soil eventually snowballed into the Dance of the Dragons and the War of the Five Kings. With thousands of years of history, it’s worth considering everything that led to Aegon the Conqueror founding King’s Landing and Daenerys Targaryen destroying it.200,000 years before Aegon conquered Westeros (often referred to as 200,000 BC or “Before Conquest”), Children of the Forest largely ruled Westeros. They had a strong connection to nature, eventually spawning the first greenseers and skinchangers. It lasted for hundreds of thousands of years before the First Men arrived between 8,000 and 12,000 BC. They walked to Westeros through a land bridge connecting to Dorne and would eventually make their way North by foot. Because they regularly destroyed sacred weirwood trees, the Children came into conflict with them. The wars that ensued were bloody and brutal and lasted thousands of years before they agreed to a formal peace agreement in 10,000 BC.
