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 allowed the Giant's Fist it's independence in return for support at the moot. 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.

~~=== Second Century A.I. ===~~

[[Victarion Volmark]] began his reign on the defensive. Threats to the Arbor, Fair Isle, and Cape of Eagles plagued the Ironborn, with the Reach, Westerlands and Riverland kings intent on reclaiming their territories. The Fleet of [[House Lannister]] attempted two attacks on Fair Isle, but were repulsed each time. The Oldtown Fleet and the Reachmen reclaimed [[The Arbor]] after a long siege, bringing [[House Redwyne]] back into the fold. In the Cape the [[Seagard]] war drew on, as the [[Vancemark]] and [[House Mudd]] armies regrouped and began a campaign to reclaim the seat of [[House Mallister]]. A tenuous peace followed, with gains and losses on both sides, most importantly the loss of Seagard castle to [[House Mallister]] and access to the Trident for the Ironborn. A fleet was constructed, and explorers from [[House Greyjoy]] and [[House Volmark]] sailed the Trident in search of new lands and allies. [[Victarion Volmark]] died on his return from the lands of [[House Royce]], and a new kingsmoot was held.
