It was a war-or a series of many wars-which likely lasted for decades. Their iron weapons and armor surpassed the bronze with which the First Men still fought, and many First Men perished in this war. ![]() Sweeping through the Vale with fire and sword, the Andals began their conquest of Westeros. Carvings of the seven-pointed star are scattered upon the rocks and stones throughout that area-a practice that eventually fell out of use as the Andal conquests progressed. It's agreed by the septons, the singers, and the maesters alike that the first place where the Andals landed was on the Fingers in the Vale of Arryn. Their success gave Westeros a new name: Rhaesh Andahli-the Land of the Andals, as the Dothraki now name it.

The appearance of some runes to that of an axe, double headed axe, hammer, the number 7, or a Scythe is interesting. They could be used in a pure phonetic sense and not in a correct way of spelling. The difficult part is that each rune, or letter, could be a word itself. If this does have meaning, is it an anagram in its entirety? Or does it read from top left to right?
