===Arrival in Westeros=== Some [[maester]]s believe that the First Men originated in the grasslands of [[Essos]], in the lands now known as the [[Dothraki sea]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|Beyond the Free Cities: The Grasslands}} Between eight thousand and twelve thousand years{{ref|TWOIAF|Ancient History: The Coming of the First Men}}{{Ref|AGOT|66}} before [[Aegon's Landing]], during the [[Dawn Age]], the First Men came to [[Westeros]] from Essos, although no tale recalls exactly why they made the trek westwards.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Ancient History: The Coming of the First Men}} The First Men crossed the land bridge called the [[Arm of Dorne]] under the leadership of the [[First King]], according to legends from the [[north]], or [[Garth Greenhand]], the [[High King of the First Men]], according to some legends from the [[Reach]].{{ref|TWOIAF|The North}}{{ref|TWOIAF|The Reach}} The First Men supposedly found the [[Seastone Chair]] upon the shores of [[Old Wyk]] when they first came to the [[Iron Islands]].{{ref|ACOK|24}} It was the First Men who named the indigenous inhabitants "[[children of the forest]]", though the diminutive people's own name for themselves translates as "those who sing the song of the earth".{{ref|ADWD|13}}
