Mountain and Vale

Line 95:

In the north House Hersy reaches out with hands of peace to the clansmen of the Sunkenwoods aiming to bring about peace in the north rather than bloodshed. Their efforts were countered by the Belmore seeking to gain more and more influence over their fellow firstmen kings. Yet perhaps the largest challenge to Hersy's actions was from Corwyn Corbray who led his men in violently putting down all first men in what he saw as his realm. His actions were swift and brutal breaking first man power and cementing House Corbray as the strongest power in the north.

To the east events came to a head when King Hunter went mad, converting to the faith of the seven and leading to a revolt of his own vassals. Hunter sought help from the Corbray's while the vassals sought help from Yorwyck Royce offering the kings crown in payment. Both Royce and Corbray ~~russhed~~ to finish their own ~~bussness~~ while their proxy's in Melcolm and Moonfell respectively fought in their name. In the end it was the Royce who arrived first securing the area and leading to the death of the mad king Hunter. Corbray retreated before the two came to blows, leaving the Royce in control of the Hunter lands.

Corbray retreated before the two came to blows, leaving the Royce in control of the Hunter lands.

An uneasy peace reigned until in the north an attempted parley between Hersy, Belmore, Coldwater and other clansmen ended in disaster as Lord Tollett, sent by Corbray, crashed the gathering slaying a few men before being driven back. The Corbray's alongside their new allies the Arryns invaded the Sunkenwood while the Belmore tried to resist them. In the south upon hearing word Yorwyck Royce led a coalition of Royce, Redfort, and Waynwood to war to avenge this braking of sacred rights. In the end the Sunkenwood was taken and the Royce coalition was pushed back, and Arryn took the giants lance. The first men had been dealt a serious blow and the andals looked to be set to take it all.

In the winter that followed great change came upon the vale, Yorwyck Royce, Corwyn Corbray, and lady Hersy all passed away leaving a new era of rulers. In the north Qyle Corbray came to power, called the insane for displacing his lawful wife for a commoner and his good treatment of the first men. He declared himself King of the Fingers crowned by Lord Moonfell and getting the new Lord Hersy to bend the knee. In the south Robar Royce became the Bronze king his calculating eyes turned north to the lands his father failed to take.
