Western Dorne, meanwhile, was undergoing a shift of its own. The great Kingdom of the Brimstone had been at peace for decades, remaining above and apart from the wars which tore apart the east during the reign of King Tamsyn. Just as conquest brought the Andals to the Greenblood, though, peace entrenched them in the Desert. The Faith of the Seven won increasing numbers of converts in both the Andal ruled west of the Kingdom and in the Brimstone proper, and the children of Andals and Clansmen continued to increase in number and prominence. The changes eventually triggered an exodus of traditionalist Desert Clans northwards - a migration which resulted in the Scorpion Clan, those half-Andal descendants of Conran Qorgyle's multiethnic Host, claiming even greater swaths of the West's wells, oases and pasture. | Western Dorne, meanwhile, was undergoing a shift of its own.

In 128 A.I., more Andals began landing in the young kingdom of Godsgrace—namely House Todonar and House Pengroz. Their landing sparked a rebellion in the kingdom of the Bloodroyal where the Allyrions and Roxtons broke their oaths of fealty to House Yronwood and bent the knee to the Santagars of Godsgrace. Uthor Yronwood declared war on Godsgrace to reclaim the lands of the Tor, but was defeated by the combined might of the Andals after only two years of conflict. Captured by Lord Argos 'the Morningstar' Daelwell, Uthor Yronwood would meet his end by execution and would be remembered as the last of the Bloodroyals. Seizing the castle of Yronwood, King Symeon II Santagar granted it to Lord Lucas of Todonar. Seeing the vulnerability of Wyl, the Stormlands took the opportunity to invade the Boneway, led by Lord Harras 'the Gust' Dondarrion. Castle Wyl was taken and the Stormlands held control of the Boneway briefly before King Dagos 'the Redstar' Dayne and King Devin Fowler marched to liberate the Boneway from the Stormlands. | |||
