Eras

• Age of Heroes
  A legendary pre-history, thousands of years before the Conquest, encompassing the Long Night, the building of the Wall, and the First Men's wars with the Children of the Forest.
• Before the Conquest
  Westerosi dates before Aegon's Landing are counted backward from that event, e.g. the Doom of Valyria.
• After the Conquest
  Westerosi dates after Aegon's Landing are counted forward from that event (also called 'Anno Conquestae' in some editions); the Core Canon's main series (A Game of Thrones onward) is set roughly three centuries into this era.

Events

• Aegon's Conquest (around Year 0-1 AC)
• Robert's Rebellion (282-283 AC)
• The Battle of the Blackwater (299 AC)
• The Dance of the Dragons (129-131 AC)
• The Doom of Valyria (roughly a century before the Conquest)
• The Kingsmoot (during the A Feast for Crows / A Dance with Dragons timeline, after Balon Greyjoy's death)
• The Long Night (legendary, during the Age of Heroes)
• The Red Wedding (299 AC)
• The Sack of King's Landing (283 AC)
• The War of the Five Kings (298-300 AC, ongoing as of the last published Core Canon novel)

Concepts

• Direwolves species
  A species of giant wolf, far larger than ordinary wolves, thought extinct south of the Wall; each of the Stark children adopts an orphaned direwolf pup.
• Dragons species
  Giant fire-breathing winged reptiles bonded to House Targaryen; believed extinct for over a century until Daenerys Targaryen hatches three at Khal Drogo's funeral pyre.
• Shadowbinding magic_system
  A rare, dangerous fire-and-blood magic practiced by priests and priestesses of R'hllor, capable of birthing a living shadow assassin from a person's own life-force (most notably Melisandre's shadow, conceived with Stannis Baratheon, that kills Renly Baratheon).
• The Iron Throne object_artifact
  The throne of the King of the Seven Kingdoms, forged by Aegon I Targaryen from the swords of his defeated enemies; used metonymically for the crown itself.
• The Others species
  A legendary ice-demon race, also called the White Walkers, said to have brought the Long Night thousands of years before the Conquest; believed myth by most of Westeros until they reappear beyond the Wall.
• Valyrian Steel object_artifact
  An ancient, extraordinarily sharp and light metal forged only in lost Valyria before the Doom; a handful of swords survive in Westeros, several re-forged from Aegon the Conqueror's own sword Blackfyre.
• Warging and Greensight magic_system
  A rare magical gift, strongest among those with First Men and Stark blood, allowing a warg to enter the mind of an animal (most often a direwolf) and a greenseer to see visions of the past, present, or future through weirwood trees.
