But the Evenstar would not relent.

Arms of House Evenstar

Arlan Evenstar was the lord of Evenfall Hall and the last head of House Evenstar to rule on Tarth during the early Andal Invasions.

History

Arlan Evenstar ruled after Ser Galladon Morne came over the sea with his Andals to conquer Tarth, slaying his father in the mountains of Tarth, and subsequently losing the eastern side of his realm to them. In 31 A.I., the Mornes would prepare to launch another offensive to take the rest of his land, while at the same time a wayward prince, Pyron Massey, would be welcomed into his hall as a courtier.

In response to the Andal aggression Arlan would rally his host to the borders and war broke out. Immediately though, he would be defeated in the coming months, losing several battles and then his own life. Hearing of his death the remaining Evenstars, his sons Lorimas and Jonos, would flee at the heeding of Pyron Massey for the Hook, leaving Tarth entirely to the Mornes.
