Years of bitter fighting followed, ending in stalemate. The Reach was reunited under one crown, yet divided within: the South, under Hightower influence, clung to Andal customs and the Faith to the Seven, while all lands held north of Highgarden fell to Greene, who ended Andal influence there and restored the worship of the old gods. | Years of bitter fighting followed, ending in stalemate.

From 132–136 A.I., the Stormlands raised a coalition to break Duskendale and restore a First Men king, Ormond Darklyn. Stormlords, Reachmen, Rivermarkers, and Duskmen fought bitterly along the Blackwater Rush in one of the bloodiest wars of the age. King Garth, which actually was Greene Gardener, had joined the war after King Beron promised to renounce his claim to Nightsong and back a First Men ruler in Duskendale. For the Reach, the war offered a chance both to strike against the Andals and to ensure Nightsong remained secured, preventing their northern frontier from being surrounded by Andal kings. In the end, the campaign failed to achieve its wider goals. | |||
