Age of Heroes

The Age of Heroes was an era during the history of Westeros which takes its name from the great men and women who lived in the years of peace that followed the forging of the Pact, to which many noble houses trace their family histories and many stories, songs, and legends are told about.
During this time period, a hundred kingdoms rose and fell. This era serves as a huge basis for the traditions and culture of Westeros, such as the laws of hopitality, the building of the Wall, and, in the North, where the culture of the First Men is the strongest in all Westeros, the obligation of the judge to be the executioner.
