Editing Arm of Dorne

The '''Arm of Dorne''' was a land bridge which once linked southeastern [[Westeros]] and southwestern [[Essos]]. In place of the land bridge is now the archipelago called the [[Stepstones]], which is in the [[narrow sea]] between the [[Broken Arm]] of [[Dorne]] and the [[Disputed Lands]].

==History==
Around twelve thousand years before the [[Aegon's Conquest]], the [[First Men]] came to Westeros from Essos by crossing the Arm of Dorne. When the [[children of the forest]] and the First Men [[War of the First Men and the children of the forest|first went to war]], the old songs say [[greenseer]]s of the children used the [[hammer of the waters]] to make the seas rise and sweep away the land, shattering the Arm, in a futile attempt to end the invasion of the First Men. Although the [[Breaking]] of the Arm was successful, it was too late, for the First Men in Westeros had already crossed and the wars went on until the [[Pact]].{{ref|AGOT|66}}

Archmaester [[Cassander]] argues in his ''[[Song of the Sea: How the Lands Were Severed]]'' instead suggests the "Song of the Sea", a slow rising of waters taking place over centuries caused by a series of long, hot summers and short, warm winters that melted the ice in the frozen lands north of the [[Shivering Sea]].{{ref|TWOIAF|Dorne: The Breaking}}
