Odd Dating in Ruler List ?

[Furion Matsuya]

From time to time I check the title history for various kingdoms such as the Stormlands, Vale and Westerlands as well as the family trees.

Now I'm aware that dating and the true length of history in Westeros may be off as hinted at in the books and even outright referenced by Sam but why do the Vale and Westerlands in particular have their rulers in the going back to the early 7000's listed as first man and old gods ?

At the very least the Andals arrived 2000-2300 years before the books are set so any rulers at that point from the major houses should be Andal culture group and faith of the seven.

Heck the Rhoynar only arrived 1000 to 700 years before the Conquest so things aren't adding up.

Very minor and unimportant in the great scheme of things I know but it's still bloody jarring.

I think some of the great houses married into andals families. That would explain the family trees and then, for the title history, some kingdoms had already been formed and the andals took them over from the first men.

By the dates in the ruler history they should have already been Andal and Faith of the Seven though. The Stark and Iron Isles histories are pretty good and seem to match the Westerosi dating and history fairly well but as mentioned the other's don't seem to match up very well I mean Durandon Storm Kings that are still Old God worshippers a little over 1000 years before the first start date ?, that really doesn't seem right, ditto for the Lannisters and Gardeners...

The dates are a constant work in progress, however there is currently higher priorities.

Ahh, if you would like I could sort through them potentially ?

The dates should be much more accurate for the next release.

That's great to hear
