== History ==

The Polanders were among the few Andals that joined [[House Santagar]] to sail southwards rather than the [[House Corbray|Corbrays]] and [[House Vance|Vances]], but broke away from the host midway through the journey, choosing to arrive closer to the Stormlands than in [[Dorne]]. Led by ~~the arrogant~~ Mathis Polander, they landed in [[House Swann|Swann]] land, exiling the previous local lords, and successfully fighting off attempts from the Stormlands to retake the still mostly [[First Men]] territory.

From the Severisles, the Polanders had ready access to all the coasts in the Sea of Dorne and established themselves as ~~foreign mercenaries~~ and traders throughout the region. Though they were still largely unwelcomed in the Stormlands, with the Swanns in particular launching frequent attempts and raids to take back their land.

[[Durran XIX Durrandon]] offered them land within the marches proper, after many generations of integration. Thus was Polander Hall founded.
