Balder was later defeated by the combined might of Storm King Beron and his new regent, Durran the Kingslayer. The two former enemies united to see Balder deposed, and they initially declared that he be sent to the Night's Watch. However, an intervening force attacked the escort, ordered by none other than the Green Queen, for reasons not fully understood. Balder was instead kept prisoner at Storm's End, with the Storm King finding it safer to keep him under close watch than sending him out into the wilderness again. | Balder was later defeated by the combined might of Storm King Beron and his new regent, Durran the Kingslayer.

Balder's time while imprisoned turned him into a fearful man, a shadow of himself. After near a decade, his brothers granted him freedom, no longer considering him a threat to the throne. He promptly went out into the peasantry in search of a man who could be king, a worthy heir, amongst the lowborn bastards of the realm. Few took his attempts seriously. | |||
