With the Axe, I seek might

History

House Den Reeve rose to power during the Andal invasion under the leadership of the warlord Forley Den Reeve. He landed on the shores of Misty Island, intent on claiming the lands held by the ancient Fisher Kings. King Elmar Fishers attempted to parley with the invaders, but the peace talks failed. Facing overwhelming odds, Elmar turned to rituals, sacrificing himself before the River Gods in a desperate attempt to unleash a plague upon his enemies.

The ensuing pestilence devastated both sides. The source of the plague remained uncertain—whether born of the Fishers’ dying curse or some unintended consequence of Andal intrusion—but it spread rapidly, killing many, including Forley Den Reeve himself and his only son.

Surviving the plague was Bronwyn Den Reeve, Forley's daughter. In the chaos that followed, she took command of the remaining Andal host and led a brutal campaign against the weakened remnants of the Fisher kingdom. Her victories earned her the title Warrior-Queen, and under her rule, House Den Reeve solidified control over the Misty Isles.

But the success of House Den Reeve would not last long. Queen Bronwyn married King Gaston Darklyn, and all her children were born Darklyns. She herself died in childbirth, and one of her Darklyn sons took her place, though they too could not hold Misty Isle for long. The remaining Fishers seized the opportunity, regained control over Misty Isle, and under King Gerrold II Fisher declared themselves independent. With the death of Queen Bronwyn Den Reeve, House Den Reeve became extinct.
