Mountain and Vale

Line 120:

Peace reigned in the Vale enforced by the threat of the both the Royce and Hersy, never an easy one as tension still reigned but for a time religious peace reigned. This was until in 97 A.I. Hersy and Mondagne suddenly launched an attack on the Belmore kingdom. Despite help from the Horn's, The Belmore could not stand against the andal threat and would fall within the year, seeing Lord Gideon landed as the new lord of Strongsong.

In 110 A.I. The Mountain clansmen of the Vale began raiding the andal and first men kingdoms in anger for losing their own lands. House Royce under King Russ Royce negotiated with the lead clan Dog that in return for stopping their raids, they would be granted land from the Hersy's. A duel was fought and the Royce champion lost leading to them allowing the Dogs to rule from Hearts Home.

Line 137:

Soon the forces of House Royce, House Horn, and House Dog would march into the Hersy land and finally in 135 A.I. the Hersy fell and the war came to an end. The old Hersy land was split with the son of Lady Hersy being taken south to Old Anchor to be fostered. Lady Mya Hersy herself would die in 137 A.I. bringing the time of independent lords of Hersy to an end.

In 136 A.I. Bronze King Russ Royce died and his son Arthor Royce ascended to the throne. Arthor early in his life made a oath of brotherhood with lord Robar Hunter and the soon to be head of House Waynwood Helgarrd. The Weirwood 3 would throughout the next few years lead the vale together side by side paving the way for what was to come after.

In 148 A.I. Lord Pearse Arryn met the King Arthor Royce and after a lengthy discussion would come to bend the knee formally to the Bronze king. In the same year King Baldyer Waynwood would also bend the knee to the Royce, convinced by their fulfilled oath to destroy the andal kingdom to the north. With their joining the fold, the kingdom of Runestone now controlled the entire south of the Vale and much of the rest.

In the same year, Prince Traggoth Royce led an army on command of his father to take captive the lord Lymond Moonfell for his crimes against the first men by bringing the andal crusade to the land. Yet the prince went far further in his duties than he should and instead burnt down much of Rathmore and Stonefall slaughtering much of the people there. Lord Lymond himself was tortured to death in his own keep. Upon hearing this the king had his son stripped of titles as punishment.

Following this in 150 A.I. Arthor Royce formally established the Kingdom of the Mountains and Vale moving his court and holdings to Gulltown and ruling from there. No more would he be just the king of Runestone but now the entire land from mountain to sea, coast to coast. Runestone was handed to his brother Coratt Royce as custodian while Gulltown became the royal lordship.

in 152 A.I. civil war in the Waynwood lands over succession for lord Baldyer Waynwood would see the Royce backing Helgarrd Waynwood the blood brother of the king himself. The war was quick but brutal seeing the dissident faction destroyed and the true heir put back in power.

In 165 A.I. conflict between the Arryns and the Redshields broke out over Kippres. At the same time the Waynwoods fought the Redforts for control of Ninestars. The Arryns and Waynwoods would come to blows during their wars leading to the Arryns losing their conquest while the Waynwoods would succeed in theirs. This would lead to growing amenity between the two of them that would not be easy to ease.

Whispers of the return of the Corbray's started to surface in the Vale, Lord Arryn himself sent men to investigate who returned speaking of invasion. This invasion never materialised but the threat of it was enough, seeking to fortify the realm King Arthor Royce began construction of a mighty gate in the high passes to block the only viable invasion path of his lands. This gate would finish construction in 167 A.I. and soon the Lord Arryn would formalise with the help of the Royce the establishment of the Knights of the Gate, an order of warriors of the old gods to guard the gate from invaders.
