Blackwater

Line 150:

It was during this era that the power of Justin Massey, known to all as the pirate scourge Milk-Eye, came to the fore. Massey not only repelled any attempts from the Storm Kings to reassert control over the Hook, but raided freely across the Blackwater, remaining a menance to all - from the Dusk Kings to the fearsome clans of Crackclaw Point. Massey became such a menace that those same warring clans made a pact of unity, to throw back any men who came ashore in the name of Milk-Eye, to carry off wealth and women. Justin Massey became such a threat that he seized Driftmark and the surrounding islands, which he would hold until his death. In 52 A.I. House Toyne were settled on Driftmark as subjects of House Darklyn, in reward for their service in rooting out the remnants of House Bar Emmon, and as a bulwark against Massey.

Duskendale would continue to expand during the first century A.I. This was both in the literal sense, as increased trade and population made the town more prosperous, but also in terms of the power of the Dusk Kings, as they became the unrivalled power in the Blackwater by 90 A.I. This began in earnest in 63 A.I., when Aldhelm Darklyn marched on Maidenpool - claiming the Mooton's unworthy of kingship, being unable to protect Maidenpool from the raids of Clawmen, and general lawlessness and banditry in the region.

The Hoggs had ever been a troublesome dynasty of robbers and bandit kings, aiding or hindering their neighbours whenever it suited them, whilst taking their due from those they ruled. With the Coming of the Andals, and the rise of new realms - the age of such frontier kingdoms was reaching its end all over Westeros.
