The Darklyns have ruled in Duskendale as kings for centuries, overseeing the construction and then ruling from their prosperous seat of Duskendale<ref name="Darklyn1">George R.R. Martin. (2014). ''The World of Ice and Fire - The Reign of the Dragons''. London: HarperVoyager. p.34</ref>, a city that was and still is the envy of [[Westeros]]. By the time of the [[Coming of the Andals]], the Darklyns were the most powerful kingdom in the [[The Blackwater|Blackwater]], answering to none bar themselves.

During the early years of the Andal Invasions, King Harrold Darklyn ~~and~~ his son [[Staun I Darklyn]] ~~repelled several [[Andals|Andal]] invaders, including~~ the warlord [[Armistead Vance]], all desiring the riches of Duskendale for themselves. ~~When Harrold died and Staun became king, the warlord [[Togarion Bar Emmon]] invaded as well but Staun triumphed and pushed Togarion back into the sea by~~ 31 A.I. King Staun I would continue to face Andal ~~threats after however~~, as ~~the prize of Duskendale was too tantalising to ignore~~.

During the early years of the Andal Invasions, King Harrold Darklyn ruled largely in peace bar for the first of many [[Andals|Andal]] invaders harrying his shores. By 20 A.I., his eldest son [[Staun I Darklyn]] would succeed him and repel the warlord [[Armistead Vance]] and hundreds of other Andals, all desiring the riches of Duskendale for themselves. By 31 A.I., a decade later, King Staun I would continue to face Andal would-be conquerors and newly landed lords, but would secure [[House Gaunt]] as a vassal.
