In summer, the realm was swept by a storm of war. In the Rivermark, the First Men rose in rebellion against the harsh rule of King Armistead III Vance, who forced followers of the River Gods to convert to the Faith of the Seven. At the same time, the [[Green Men]] unleashed a terrible plague near Lavehaven, which spread across the Rivermark. In the River and the Hills, Elsa Mudd summoned a vast army of the undead, bent only on bringing ruin in the name of the Deep Ones. Their devastation was great, and it took the combined strength of all the River and the Hills, together with [[House Corbray]], to bring them down.

With summer’s end came yet more war. In autumn, King Armistead III denounced King Robert Lannister as a false follower of the Seven, accusing him of consorting with the Ironborn before being betrayed by them. Armistead rallied the Riverlands and struck at the Westerlands, but the united hosts were defeated. In the aftermath of this failure, King Armistead descended into madness, slaying his own queen and daughter. When he turned upon the crown prince, Lord Florian Den Ford intervened to protect the heir and slew the king.

When he turned upon the crown prince, Lord Florian Den Ford intervened to protect the heir and slew the king. In the aftermath, a new Vance king was crowned, styling himself King Marq, and he took a bride from House Den Ford. Lord Florian Den Ford, though pardoned for his regicide, was punished by the loss of a hand. Under King Marq’s rule, the Rivermark entered a period of prosperity.
 
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.
