The Clever Conspiracy began with the Sack of Kayce by Urron Redhand, in 32 A.I.

In attendance were Rollam Prester, brother to Lord Harrag's wife and captain of the town guard, Osbert Lantell, the young heir to the Kynlands, and Marwen Tarwick, Tregar Tarwick's second son. During this meeting, they conspired to use each of their positions to best advantage in order to take Kayce and remove the Kennings without causing civil war in the region - whilst Harrag Kenning had been summoned to Casterly Rock, and his men were exhausted from recent fruitless raids along the [[The North|Stony Shore]].
