Bloodroyal Castor Yronwood was a king of the Bloodroyal during the first century of the Coming of the Andals. He ascended to the throne after the death of his father, [[Olyvar Yronwood]], facilitating his predecessor's return to the Gods of the Earth. Castor had not the ambition of his father, and though he claimed too the High Kingship of Dorne he sought peace with his immediate neighbors, to mixed results. While he was able to secure a treaty with the Durrandons to his north, he was thrust into a war with the lords of the Greenblood during the [[Locust Wars]], who sought to reclaim the lands conquered from them by his father. | Bloodroyal Castor Yronwood was a king of the Bloodroyal during the first century of the Coming of the Andals.

In his later reign, Castor was able to achieve the peaceful subjugation of the Fowlers, accepting oaths of fealty from [[Roryn Fowler]] in exchange for protection. This success, however, thrust Yronwood into a conflict with the Brimstoners and Qorgyles, the [[Second Desert War]], despite earlier agreements of friendship and amity between them. Castor would die three years after his defeat in the Second Desert War, of injuries sustained while hunting. He was succeeded by his son, [[Yoren II Yronwood]]. | In his later reign, Castor was able to achieve the peaceful subjugation of the Fowlers, accepting oaths of fealty from [[Roryn Fowler]] in exchange for protection.
