That was when the golden-haired rogue called Lann the Clever appeared from out of the east. It was during the Age of Heros that the Lannisters came to control The Rock. By then the Dawn Age had given way to the Age of Heroes. Though never kings, the Casterlys became the richest lords in all of Westeros and the greatest power in the westerlands, and remained so for hundreds of years. The truth of that tale is lost in the mists of time, but we cannot doubt that Corlos, or some progenitor of what would become House Casterly, found gold inside the Rock and soon began to mine there. However it was not originally the Lannisters who found the gold in the hills, it was the Casterlys and hence where Casterly Rock got its name.
The World of Ice and Fire - The Westerlands
These are rich lands, temperate and fruitful, shielded by high hills to the east and south and the endless blue waters of the Sunset Sea to the west. The Westerlands are a place of rugged hills and rolling plains, of misty dales and craggy shorelines, a place of blue lakes and sparkling rivers and fertile fields, of broadleaf forests that teem with game of every sort, where half-hidden doors in the sides of wooded hills open onto labyrinthine caves that wend their way through darkness to reveal unimaginable wonders and vast treasures deep beneath the earth. The Lannisters are the ruling house of The Westerlands which have been historically rich in natural resources.
