Line 44:

The [[Coming of the Andals]] signaled the end of the Age of Heroes as well as the end of the Ironborn Kingsmoot. [[Urron Greyiron]] orchestrated a [[Slaughter of Nagga's Hill|violent takeover]] of the crown on Nagga's Hill, naming himself the sole King of the Isles, and House Greyiron the only ruling house.<ref name="IronIslands" />

Urron's reign began with an invasion of [[House Farman]], with the [[Invasion of Fair Isle]]. The war was brief with [[Horgon Greyjoy]] capturing King [[Andrik Farman]] and sacrificing him. Urron continued his campaign by invading the islands of [[The Reach]] including the [[Shield Islands]] and [[The Arbor]]. The Shields were scoured of it's lords, and it's keeps given to Ironborn Lords. The lord of [[House Redwyne]] was slain and his heir married to a Greyiron Princess.

Urron died in 79 A.I. in his sleep, and was followed by King [[Urek Greyiron]]. Urek's reign saw [[The Arbor]] lost and the Iron Fleet defeated. He died unceremoniously 6 years into his reign after tripping on a rug. With his death, the Captains of the Isles called for a Kingsmoot, seeing hereditary succession as disfavored by the Drowned God. [[Cragorn Greyjoy]] was elected at this new Kingsmoot, and promised the Ironmen new conquests and revenge. He began his reign by launching a great reaving of [[Oldtown]], overrunning the city and the Hightower itself. He then moved to take the [[Cape of Eagles]] from [[House Mallister]] and [[House Mudd]]. He led a successful campaign during the [[Sinking of Seagard]] and placing his rock son [[Urron Greyjoy]] as the great captain of the region. He died in 103 A.I. and [[Victarion Volmark]] was chosen as his successor.
