Following the [[Seven Years' War]], the Arbor was invaded and conquered by the Ironborn under [[Urron Greyiron|King Urron Greyiron]]. Exploiting the weakened state of the Reach, Urron’s fleet swept across the straits and took the Arbor, integrating it into his growing Ironborn kingdom.
After Urron’s death, the Arbor regained its independence during the early reign of [[Galayn Gardener|King Galayn Gardener]]. However, its loyalty remained in question. When the Ironborn returned under King Cragorn "the Black Kraken" [[House Greyjoy|Greyjoy]] during the Great Reaving, Lord Abelar Redwyne refused to defend Oldtown, fearing retribution. In response, the Reach declared the Redwyne line ended, cursed Arbor wine, and cast the Arbor into isolation.
