The Long Night

In the year of AL 303,

All of Westeros knew misery.

White Walkers came forth, slew those in the North,

Azhor Azhai's light wasn't to be.

The dragons of fire were no shows,

For in Essos, Dany had her woes.

And those in the black, were all driven back,

And Roose Bolton's defence was too slow.

So a nightmare fouler than reckoned,

Went to the South second by second.

The Southerners laughed, these things of the past,

But all the while their end did beckon.

While the Northers south they did flee.

And Bran he remained linked to a tree.

And southward spread white, herald of Long Night,

And came the end of humanity.
