Line 85:

Meanwhile, in the River and the Hills, King Tristifer “Justheart” Mudd passed away in old age. He was succeeded by King Edric “the Strong” Mudd, who began the continued expansion of Fairmarket.

While Fairmarket continued to grow, King Edric “the Strong” Mudd was forced to wage two wars against the Marshes, who had encroached upon his lands. He was defeated in the first conflict by King Tallow “the Furry” Marsh, and though he managed to reclaim the Charlton lands in the second war against King Halden Marsh, the Mallisters lost more of their swamplands to the crannogmen. King Edric died in old age and was succeeded by his grandson, King Cedric “Beanstalk” Mudd, a frail young man raised in Vancemark. He was married to Queen Sharis “the Golden Eagle” Mallister, reflecting King Edric’s high regard for House Mallister.

During the same period as the crannogmen campaigns, tragedy struck [[House Gaunt of Sweetwillow|House Gaunt]]. Originally rewarded with Moonbrooks for their service against King Tristifer “the Brave” Mudd, the Gaunts had later expanded their holdings by defeating [[House Grey]] and establishing Sweetwillow as their seat. When King Edric called for aid, Lord Gilad “the Impaler” Gaunt promised support in exchange for further resources. Yet, in the decisive battle, Lord Gilad did not join the main host of the Mudds, seeking glory instead by moving against an expected Reed host. King Edric suffered defeat, and Lord Meros Mallister placed particular blame upon Gilad. Declared guilty of betrayal, Lord Gilad was sent to the Wall, leaving his young son Geoffrey Gaunt as lord. This marked a sharp decline in relations between House Mudd and House Gaunt.

In the Rivermark, the reign of King Marq Vance alongside his queen, Jocelyn Den Ford, was marked by prosperity. When Duskendale was conquered and forced into tribute by the [[House Gardener|Gardeners]] and [[House Durrandon|Durrandons]], Marq skillfully secured the loyalty of the [[House Dorwent|Dorwents]], former vassals of the Darklyns, thereby expanding his own power.
