The Long Night is one of most interesting mysteries in ASOIAF, a period of time associated with another interesting mystery in the series, the Others. Because of this, we assumed it was just an event mostly isolated to Westeros before The World of Ice and Fire was published, which dropped another bombshell: the Long Night was a global event ...

Not the darkness of a sunless night, but a blackness so absolute that even his eyes cannot pierce its veil. They keep him in this lightless cage, deactivating the ba...

Oct 31, 2018 · How the Long Night came to an end is a matter of legend, as all such matters of the distant past have become. In the North, they tell of a last hero who sought out the intercession of the children of the forest, his companions abandoning him or dying one by one as they faced ravenous giants, cold servants, and the Others themselves.

- Why not? Maester Luwen links the Andals to breaking the Pact.

The Long Night is supposed to have lasted an entire generation. Even with exaggeration, it had to have lasted for a long time. There is one thing that can throw up enough dust and debris to cover the sun for years on end - a volcano. And there is an island in the Jade Sea south of Yi Ti that is clearly the exploded cone of a volcano, Marahai.
Mar 15, 2024 · The Long Night is describe as the first long winter, it would be strange for winters to be caused by meteor impacts for 5,000 years without anyone noticing, and if meteors are responsible for long winters, what causes long summers? Greenhouse gases released by the ruins of Valyria?
This theory is basically saying that the official timeline is wrong, and there is evidence to support that claim. The Battle for the Dawn and the Long Night were after or coincident to the Andal invasion, and the pressures to create Others were less the Valyrians, and more the people the Valerians displaced. 2.
It indicates that the disaster of the Long Night with the armies and powers of the Others was so big, that it still lives on in legend/tradition fragments, included with stories from later times. This cargo cult behavior with forgotten traditions is already present in GRRM's most ASoIaF like scifi, The House of the Worm.
