As ~~the~~ Andal influence spreads, House Corbray has taken control of the Fingers, though they refuse to call themselves kings of the region, despite their undeniable power.<ref> Martin, The World of Ice and Fire, p. 163.</ref> Houses Elesham and Templeton lent their swords to House Corbray, but House Hersy at Northbreach, on the coast of the Bite, chose to influence the First Men not with steel, but with words and blessings in the name of the Seven. The Andals continue to press deeper into the Vale, their ambitions growing with each passing year. Among the rising generation of knights, one name is beginning to stand apart. Ser Artys Arryn, the Falcon Knight, a young warrior whose promise has not gone unnoticed.

But not all in the Fingers accept the Andal dominance. Many First Men houses hold out against the Andals. One of the most notable of whom, House Coldwater, ever hostile to the invaders, harass their holdings in the Fingers and Northbreach, constantly looking for opportunities to drive them out and reclaim the land for the First Men.
