About Star-Spangled Kid approaching him, this would have been around issue #12, when the team officially launched, and when Power Girl and Huntress declined to join full time. While the Age of Heroes occupies a significant place in the collective culture and history of Westeros, very little about this period can, in fact, be confirmed with any accuracy. As Samwell Tarly points out to Jon Snow, Westeros did not possess a comprehensive written language until the arrival of the Andals. The First Men did possess a system of runic script (as seen on the sigil of House Royce), and surviving examples of this script can sometimes corroborate parts of stories from the Age of Heroes. For the most part, however, these stories were passed down orally through songs and poems, which can easily change depending on circumstances, especially over a long period of time. Therefore, nearly all the information known about the Age of Heroes was written down thousands of years after the events supposedly occurred, and many of those writers were septons whose accounts were likely influenced by their religious beliefs. Some maesters theorize that "kings" in the Age of Heroes were more like the leaders of war-bands, who rallied other noble Houses in times of external threat. A "first among equals", and not really comparable to the monarchies of later eras. Even in more recent times, such during the coming of the Andals 6,000 years ago, the Starks called themselves the "Kings of Winter" (a more local title), as their hold on the North at the time was still more of a loose hegemony; their greatest rivals, the Boltons, had only recently joined the fold. Centuries afterwards, as their hold on the North tightened, the Starks shifted to calling themselves " King in the North" to emphasize their sovereign status over the entire region.

Garth Greenhand: stories told of Garth say that he first taught men how to farm the land, was able to influence human fertility and reproductive cycles, and that he sired children beyond count. All the noble houses of the Reach claim descent from him in some form.

All issues are illustrated by dynamic artist Chris Malgrain, with hero biographies written by Richard Boucher, Jesse Bereta, Julia Lye and Robert Greenberger. Colours provided by Reed Man, James Mason, Oliver Hudson, Mort Todd and Matt Webb. The fictional "Who's Who" entry that introduces Ladybug lists her first appearance as Hit Comics #1 (July 1940), which was published by Quality Comics. Hit featured the short-lived "Red Bee" feature. Each team aims to take over the opposing base. The roads leading to the base are known by their technical name, “lane.” The playing surface referred to as the “3-lane map” in the above diagram is the arena that is used the most. There are “towers” that protect against the adversary inside the base and on the lanes. In addition, each team has soldiers under the control of artificial intelligence, which appear in their base and move in waves towards the opponent’s field. In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, the Age of Heroes is one of several broad eras in the history of Westeros. It was preceded by the Dawn Age, in which the First Men crossed the land bridge into Westeros, encountered the Children of the Forest, and came into conflict with them. After many centuries of warfare, the two races met on the Isle of Faces and established the Pact, which created peace between them. The Age of Heroes is commonly accepted to date from that accord, and lasted for thousands of years after it. Durran Godsgrief: Durran is credited with raising the mighty castle of Storm's End as a defense against the powerful winds and rains that blow up and down the coast of the Stormlands. House Durrandon, the rulers of the Stormlands before Aegon's Conquest, claimed descent from him. In turn, House Baratheon claims descent from Durran, as Orys Baratheon married the daughter of the last Storm King after the Conquest. According to some legends, Durran was actually helped by a young Bran the Builder, before Bran went north to create Winterfell and found House Stark. Of course, many maesters doubt either of them ever existed, and even among those who do believe they were historical figures (albeit embellished by later legends), many suspect that the part about Durran knowing Bran the Builder was just an invention of later storytellers.

The Dothraki hadn't yet settled in the Dothraki Sea, as they only migrated west of the Bone Mountains thousands of years later (accounts differ). Bran the Builder: said to be the mastermind behind the Wall and to have raised the ancient keep of Winterfell. Allegedly, he built the Wall with the aid of the Children of the Forest and their magical powers. His name is also connected with other notable constructs, such as Storm's End and the Hightower. House Stark claims descent from him. The struggle, like a story structure, consists of three phases. In the first stage, players start to develop their heroes while weighing their opponents and placing them on the map.

What is the Age of Heroes?

Singers call those times the Age of Heroes. A mask for a savage world that bred savage men." ―Lord Roose Bolton [src] The player's characters are sorted into different classes and could level up by accumulating experience points earned in combat, similar to a traditional role-playing video game. [4] Players may choose to combine identical characters in their collection into one amalgamation, which pools their experience points and raises their experience level cap in the process. [4] Players may apply the "consume" mechanic on up to five redundant or unwanted characters of any kind and absorb them into a preferred favorite character, which in turn appropriates experience points from redundant characters in exchange for the probability of increasing the odds of delivering double-damage critical hits, as well as improving the statistics of another character. [4] After the Long Night, merchant ships from the Summer Islands began exploring the surrounding oceans, and it is said that they were visiting Oldtown since it was first settled (some even theorize that Oldtown began as a resupply post for Summer Islander ships).
