In the Hills of Andalos on the eastern continent, Essos, a new religion takes shape, called the Faith of the Seven. It is said that the supreme deity of the Andals appears to them, guiding them into their invasion of Westeros. The Andals cross the Narrow Sea making landfall on its eastern shore, on what would one day become the Vale of Arryn. They come under the banner of the Faith of the Seven, with seven-pointed stars carved into their chests, wielding weapons of steel. They fight both the First Men and the Children of the Forest, sweeping the land much like the First Men did thousands of years before.

For centuries the Andals war with the First Men and the Children in an attempt to drive them out. One by one, the six southron kingdoms fall and the weirwoods are burned. Only the Kingdom of the North remains under the rule of the First Men, in large part due to the strategically located fortress of Moat Caitlin resisting multiple attempts to take it and thereafter serving as the door between North and South. Even though the North remain secure, the Children of the Forest begin their slow withdrawal from the lands of men, retreating deeper into their forests and North of the Wall.
