===The War of the Scourge=== | ===The War of the Scourge=== | ||
While the Desert War raged in the west, a far bloodier conflict began between the two great powers of Dorne, the Yronwoods and the Greenbloods. | |||
====Tensions on the Border==== | ====Tensions on the Border==== | ||
While some saw the death of [[Olyvar Yronwood]] as heralding an era of peace for Dorne, others viewed it as an opportunity. The lords of the Greenblood had raised a King to oppose the ambitions of the self-proclaimed High King, but they did not consider the threat of Yronwood over with his passing. The Green King perceived Olyvar's heir, King [[Castor Yronwood]], as weak, but believed that so long as the Yronwoods held the Scourge - the sacred source of the Greenblood conquered years ago by Olyvar - then they could not be secure. As the river swelled with the early autumn rains, Greenblooder warbands began to probe the border. | While some saw the death of [[Olyvar Yronwood]] as heralding an era of peace for Dorne, others viewed it as an opportunity.
