In 159 A.I., she struck against the Green Queen, taking the Estermont Isles with the aid of [[House Blacktyde of Tarth|House Blacktyde]]. She justified her conquest by claiming that the isles would be one of the foremost to be assaulted by an Andal host from across the sea, and the navies of Houses [[House Massey|Massey]], Borrell, and Blacktyde could protect the isles far better than the Green Queen could. The Green Queen responded by razing Stonehelm and capturing Corningstone from [[House Swann]]. By war's end in 161 A.I., Elenei's forces had been stretched thin.
