===The First Desert War===

The Locust Wars describe two conflicts that engulfed Dorne during the Autumn of Locusts, involving five of the Six Kingdoms. In the west, tensions that had resulted from the Mountain Kingdoms' expansion into the Desert resulted in a long and bloody conflict, known to future generations as the Desert War.

====The Scorpion and the Sun====

Eight years prior to the Autumn, the House Dryland had invited into their hall and sphere Conran Qorgyle, an Andal warlord newly arrived from across the sea. They had made promises of friendship and cooperation with the man, and eventually decided to strengthen that bond with marriage - Milona Dryland, second child and eldest daughter of King Lucifer, was betrothed to Ser Conran Qorgyle. After her fifteenth nameday and during the early years of the fall, Conran and his host arrived in Hellgate Hall to claim his bride, and to deepen their ties with the Drylands. During this visit and before the wedding, the andal knight met with Prince Vorcan Dryland, the heir to Lucifer. They agreed, in secret, that they would cooperate to remove the Red Marchers from the desert, and that they would raise eachother up as brother-kings - this pact would become known as the '''Bathouse Oath''', named for the location in which it was sworn. During the wedding ceremony, Vorcan and Conran called on the attending headsmen of the tributary clans to rise up with them. They then conspired to place Lucifer under house arrest, and raise up Vorcan as King, after which they declared their joint intent to push the Fowlers and Daynes from the desert.
