Blackwater

Line 148:

The shift into the Andal Invasions began on the Blackwater with the coming of two warlords; Armistead Vance, and Togarion Bar Emmon. These two men led hosts to the mouth of the Blackwater Rush, and made war on those they found there, burning the sacred groves, and driving the Children of the Forest from the region. Armistead and Togarion attempted to seize Duskendale in the name of the Andals, but were repelled by an alliance of [[Staun I Darklyn|Staun Darklyn]] and [[Florian Mooton|Florian the Brave]], the Mooton king of Maidenpool. Togarion retreated back into Blackwater Bay to regroup, whilst Armistead stubbornly continued westwards into the southron reaches of the Riverlands. Togarion Bar Emmon would later make another attempt to seize Duskendale, but broke himself against the Darklyn host, and was no more.

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.

Duskendale would continue to expand during the first century A.I.
