The Lannisters descend in part from a group of Andals who invaded Westeros more than 6,000 years ago and settled at Casterly Rock. The family ruled as kings in their realm until the Targaryens brought dragons to conquer the continent, placing all the lords of Westeros under control of the Iron Throne.

The Stark family traces its lineage back to the First Men, who landed in Westeros more than 10,000 years ago and eventually forged a lasting peace with the continent’s druidic natives, the Children of the Forest. The Starks still worship the Old Gods of their forbears at the heart tree in Winterfell.
The principal house of the Riverlands, the Tullys of Riverrun rose to power during the Targaryen conquest. When the invaders attacked, Edmyn Tully rebelled against the King of the Isles, Harren the Black, and sided with Aegon Targaryen. Harren’s other supporters soon followed suit, paving the way for the new king.The Eyrie's isolated location atop the Mountains of the Moon makes it almost entirely impregnable to enemy attack.
Located in the Vale, the Arryns serve as wardens of the East from their mountain stronghold, the Eyrie – a key defense against the violent clans that surround their home. According to lore, the Andal knight Ser Artys Arryn took the Vale from the First Men, fighting from the back of a giant falcon.
Pentos conducts a brisk trade across the Narrow Sea – while paying tribute to the Dothraki to keep the peace.
The women of Bear Island are trained warriors, so that when their men are out at sea, they can take up arms to defend their home. The current ruler of Bear Island is Lady Maege Mormont, aunt to Ser Jorah.
Traditionally, the Dothraki stay as inland as possible. They do not trust water their horses cannot drink, and for that reason, have never tried to cross the Narrow Sea.
Dorne, the last of the seven kingdoms to submit to Targaryen rule, was once conquered by a warrior queen named Nymeria, after whom Arya has named her wolf.
Besides their pleasure houses, the Lysense are also known for their alchemists and in particular, the toxin known as the Tears of Lys.
