Stormlands

Line 55:

In 182 A.I., a year after defeating the Toynes, Vika I turned her attention south. Attacking in concert with Reach and Marcher forces, Durrandon and Dondarrion forces poured into the Stone Way. For three years they pillaged and sacked across the land, taking not just Castle Wyl, but many castles south of it. With winter starting to set in, the Stormlands took Castle Wyl as their prize, and returned home. Vika I held that castle for five years, before it ultimately fell to a Dornish counterattack led by Dayne. She did not dispatch any of her own troops to this effort, however, and left the Marcher lords led by Dondarrion to hold the line.

In 192 A.I., an Andal king, Gideon [[House Serrett|Serrett]] attacked and seized the Estermont Isles. Conquering them, his distance from Storm's End and the relative quiet in the Narrow Sea allowed him to stay undetected for quite some time. Over ten years later, in 205 A.I., Vika I marshalled the Stormlands to defend the Reach from an Andal assault. Despite her efforts, her army was beaten back, and the broken Stormman army was forced to retreat after a year of heavy, hard fighting. Tens of thousands of men bloodied themselves in that war, and on the march home, Vika was killed by Tempest, the blade surging lightning through her body in 208 A.I. The succession fell to [[Durran XX Durrandon]], her younger brother, who returned from the Reach experienced in combating Andals both on the field of battle and in court.
