Cape Wrath

Line 51:

=== Second Century A.I. ===

The Second Century A.I. saw the Singers and Giants of the Rainwood break their centuries of neutrality and declare their support for Beron the Boring following the death of the ‘Stormcrowned.’ The Great Stag duel, stretching from 110-113 A.I. saw the first time in history that the elder races of the region had publicly involved themselves in the politics of the Storm Throne. Despite their support, however, a clash over the fate of Beron’s traitorous brother, Balder ‘the Stormblessed’, led to a falling out between the Rainwood and the newly-crowned Storm King.

In 119 A.I., Ser Robert Mertyns, now known as ‘the Green Knight,’ returned to the Rainwood following his decades-long pilgrimage to the various holy sites and historical landmarks of the Weirwood faith. He is granted the uninhabited mountainside forests of Whitegrove by the Green Queen, marking perhaps the only Andal in history to swear an oath of fealty to a Singer.

In 132 A.I., in an effort to mend relations with the Stormlands, the Rainwood join in the Storm King’s war to reclaim the Gauntlet. Though the war was only partially successful, diplomatic relations between the two realms improved.

150 A.I. saw the coronation of the Storm Kingdom’s very first Queen, who took the name ‘Elenei’ and demanded that the Rainwood be absorbed into her Kingdom. Though the Green Queen refused, she allowed the woman to come to the Paintwood and make her case before her assembled vassals. When none were willing to defect, despite being granted permission from the Weirmother, the Storm Queen declared them all in open rebellion. For the first time in centuries, the Kingdom of Storms and the Rainwood stand on the brink of war...
