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. | From 132–136 A.I., the Stormlands raised a coalition to break Duskendale and restore a First Men king, Ormond Darklyn.

The Reach was attacked by King Robert Lannister in 143 A.I., who, informed by the Risleys of the presence of Children of the Forest at Red Lake, launched a brutal assault. Unable to withstand the sheer force brought against them, the Reach saw Red Lake burned and Greene Gardener taken captive. At the same time, Ironborn raids, most fiercely by the Greyjoys, grew increasingly frequent, leaving the Reach in a state of deep turmoil. | |||
