Under his rule, the Ironborn took control of Fair Isle, the Arbor, Bear Island, and the Shield Isles (which were promptly given their original name - the Misty Isles). A separate branch of the house would be created on [[House Greyiron of Fair Isle|Fair Isle]], which took the [[Grey King|Grey King's]] wife as their sigil.

Urron was succeeded by his son, [[Urek Greyiron]]. His rule was marked by several failures. The Arbor rebelled, and the Iron Fleet was defeated in multiple attempts to reclaim the island. The [[Giant's Fist]] also stopped paying tribute or interacting with men from the home isles, effectively declaring their independence. | |||
Ultimately, Urek's rule was cut short after only seven years during an accident in his council chamber which left him dead. His son [[Erich Greyiron|Erich]] being only a young man, and the great captains being disappointed with thew state of the isles, led to the reintroduction of the Kingsmoot. | |||
After the Kingsmoot returned, Greyirons and the men of Orkmont still played an important role in Ironborn exploits. | |||
