The land was not always so, having once been a lush, forested land inhabited by the Children of the Forest in ancient history which they used to perform rituals and turn a captured human into the first of the White Walkers. These lands are said to lie north of even the Haunted Forest and the Frozen Shore, beyond the Wall. The wildlings controlled some of this territory, but it also extends into subarctic wastelands that are inhospitable to human life.

They are so-named as snow falls in these lands even in the warmest summers.

The Lands of Always Winter, also called the Land of Always Winter, is a colloquial term referring to the north-most regions of the continent of Westeros. ' I've seen how the land stretches much farther than any man knows, into the Land of Always Winter where the White Walkers came from during the Long Night.' ― Jon Snow
