The [[Rhoynar]] tell of a darkness that made the [[Rhoyne]] of [[Essos]] dwindle and disappear, her waters frozen as far south as the joining of the [[Selhoru]], until a hero convinced the many children of [[Mother Rhoyne]], such as the [[Crab King]] and the [[Old Man of the River]], to put aside their bickering and join in a secret song that brought back the day.{{ref|TWOIAF|Ancient History: The Long Night}} [[Lomas Longstrider]], in his ''[[Wonders Made by Man]]'', describes meeting descendants of the Rhoynar in the ruins of the festival city of [[Chroyane]] who recounted this tale to him.{{ref|TWOIAF|Ancient History: The Long Night}}

====Further East====
Other legends from the [[Further East]], including [[Yi Ti]], state the [[Blood Betrayal]] began the Long Night. The [[Lion of Night]] was unleashed upon the world after the [[Maiden-Made-of-Light]] turned her back on it.{{ref|TWOIAF|The Bones and Beyond: Yi Ti}}

According to a legend from Yi Ti, during the Long Night the sun hid its face for a lifetime, ashamed at something none could discover, and disaster was only averted by the deeds of a woman with a [[monkey]]'s tail.{{ref|TWOIAF|Ancient History: The Long Night}}

A great hero, known in different cultures as [[Azor Ahai]], Hyrkoon the Hero, Yin Tar, Neferion, and Eldric Shadowchaser, wielded the flaming sword [[Lightbringer]] and led humanity to victory. Some say the [[Five Forts]] were built by the [[Pearl Emperor]] to guard against the Lion of Night and his demons.{{ref|TWOIAF|The Bones and Beyond: Yi Ti}}

The legend of Azor Ahai spread from [[Asshai]] and is especially prevalent among the followers of [[R'hllor]].{{ref|TWOIAF|Ancient History: The Long Night}} According to prophecy, Azor Ahai is to be reborn again as a champion sent by [[R'hllor]].{{ref|ADWD|10}} This will occur after a long summer when an evil, cold darkness descends upon the world.{{Ref|aCoK|10}} There is also a similar prophecy about [[the prince that was promised]].{{ref|ASOS|63}}{{ref|ASOS|78}}
