The Autumn of Locusts shifted into a quiescent Dornish winter - the men and women of the peninsula outlasted insects and wars both. The Locust Wars reaffirmed the Greenblooders continuing need for a King, and solidified Bloodroyal Castor as the steward of a still vital and strong realm. The Green King Willem Wade perished not long after his defeat - to succeed him, the men of the Greenblood chose [[Edred Lake]], magnar of Goldpeppers. A martial and warlike man, Edred had fought well during the Scourge War, and his father had perished many years earlier doing battle with Olyvar. In the west, the balance of power had shifted, but the Daynes and Fowlers remained strong, if humbled. Three of the western Clans - Maltrevar, Spiny and Ruthvan - would, in the years which followed the Locust Wars, elevate [[Conran Qorgyle]] to the position of High Lord of the western desert, in exchange for promises of land, glory and protection from the mountain kings.

Conflict would return to the west of Dorne within a few years of this unification with the [[Second Desert War]], a conflict far vaster, more brutal, and bloody than the First.
