How long the darkness endured no man can say, but all agree that it was only when a great warrior-known variously as Hyrkoon the Hero, Azor Ahai, Yin Tar, Neferion, and Eldric Shadowchaser-arose to give courage to the race of men and lead the virtuous into battle with his blazing sword Lightbringer that the darkness was put to rout, and light and love returned once more to the world. Are these truly lizard-men, or (more likely) men clad in the skins of lizards? Or are they no more than fables, the grumkins and snarks of the eastern deserts? And even the Shrykes supposedly live in terror of K’dath in the Grey Waste, a city said to be older than time, where unspeakable rites are performed to slake the hunger of mad gods.

Whispers reach us of the Grey Waste and its cannibal sands, and of the Shrykes who live there, half-human creatures with green-scaled skin and venomous bites. Of the lands that lie beyond the Five Forts, we know even less. The Five Forts are very old, older than the Golden Empire itself some claim they were raised by the Pearl Emperor during the morning of the Great Empire to keep the Lion of Night and his demons from the realms of men… and indeed, there is something godlike, or demonic, about the monstrous size of the forts, for each of the five is large enough to house ten thousand men, and their massive walls stand almost a thousand feet high. No discussion of Yi Ti would be complete without a mention of the Five Forts, a line of hulking ancient citadels that stand along the far northeastern frontiers of the Golden Empire, between the Bleeding Sea (named for the characteristic hue of its deep waters, supposedly a result of a plant that grows only there) and the Mountains of the Morn. We walk beneath one of the hinges of the world.” - Melisandre, ADWD Great was the lore that raised it, and great the spells locked beneath its ice. (It’s how I get those GRRM quotes so quickly.) I know only Westeros extends to the far north, it’s not relevant.
You don’t need to give me the SSM pdf, I have a SSM search engine in my browser.

But I got the SSM pdf (did I give you the SSM pdf?) after I read twoiaf and GRRM said Essos doesn’t extend all the way up, so, in terms of the Five Forts, are you arguing for continental drift and they once protected against the Others? Or are you arguing that the Five Forts were just Cthulu’s military organization like the Watch in the past few centuries and defended against invaders? (I’m on mobile so I can’t look the GRRM quote up, maybe I’m wrong?)
