[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do we know (from books/TV) why the Children were fighting the First Men according to where GoT begins?  (I realize that Bran and/or others may have altered history ... and may continue to do so with every visit to the past, so it gets murky.)  My recollection of the First Men's relationship with the Children from Old Nan(?) was that the two groups coexisted peacefully.  Based on last week, we know they did until they didn't.

This show is beginning to feel like a medieval fantasy child of the Matrix and Lost.  I liked both ... but my mind is melting.[/quote]

[b]So I do not know for sure, but at some point the first men knew that the Children were spying on them using the weirwood trees, so men started chopping them down.[/b]

Also, Bran is able to affect the past, but the Blood Raven (old guy in tree) said that the past is already written, the ink is dry- whatever is going to happen with Bran affecting the past has already happened- like Hodor- it was destined to still happen that way, so he isn't altering the past as he is fulfilling his role in it  instead I guess, if that makes sense.[/quote]

It's been a while since I read it, but I seem to recall from the World of Ice and Fire history of Westeros that the First Men and the Children did fight over land, but that it was the Andals that chopped down the wierwoods. The first Men worshipped the same gods as the Children, the same old gods that the north still worships, the trees and such. The Andals came much later and brought the Seven, the new gods, and they chopped down the trees of the old gods. But the Long Night was 8000 years ago and definitely involved the First Men, way before the Andals, and the Children and the First Men fought together to defeat the Others.

So basically I'm really confused about the Children creating the Others and I wonder if that will happen in the books.[/quote]
