====The Battle for Red Dunes====

Though the Greenbloods initiated the Scourge War, the Yronwoods were able to gather their army more swiftly. Joined by his bannermen, [[House Wyl]] and [[House Rylthorne]], King Castor Yronwood crossed the border and laid siege to the border forts of the Red Dunes, the western frontier of the Greenblood Kingdom. The Green King gathered his own army at the stronghold of Old Glory - when the Yronwoods marched on the fortress, the army of the Greenblood sallied out and defeated them, sending the Yronwood army bloody and reeling back to the border. However, Castor returned to Red Dunes within a few moons, his army reformed - battle is joined again with the Greenblooders, this time nearer the border. The forces of King Wade were outmaneuvered and isolated from their [[House Lake|Lake]] and [[House Shell|Shell]] allies, and obliterated - the other forces of the Greenblooders were destroyed or scattered in turn. Some attribute the Yronwood success to a swarm of locusts which, they say, descended upon the battlefield and split the Greenblooder army in twain - others, on Yronwood magics, or the unexpected tactical genius of King Castor.
