Stormlands

Line 29:

The Storm Kings saw relative prosperity for a time after this. They launched a raid upon the [[House Yronwood|Yronwoods]] in 67 A.I, and after Qarlton II's death in 75 A.I., his son [[Durran XIX Durrandon|Durran XIX]] joined the Reach in expelling [[House Risley]] from Goldengrove in 79 A.I. In 86 A.I., [[House Strickland|Ser Prentys Strickland]] attempted to land on [[Blackwater#The Hook|the Hook]], and forcibly convert the populace to worship of the Seven, but an alliance between Storm King [[Durran XIX Durrandon]] and [[House Massey|King Kermit Massey]] saw his host shattered.

This would be the end of Durran Stormcrowned's achievements by and large, however. His realm fought several wars that all ended in defeat for the Stormlands, and saw many homes empty come winter. A foray into the Blackwater was shattered by [[House Vance|Vance]] and [[House Darklyn|Darklyn]] forces, and an attempt at fighting the Yronwoods again resulted in failure. With his ambitions falling flat, the Storm King fell into depression. He abdicated suddenly, and left the realm to join the Night's Watch with three of his sons. The remaining sons then squabbled over their inheritance, resulting in a crippling civil war called the [[Great Stag Duel]].

This would be the end of Durran Stormcrowned's achievements by and large, however. His realm fought several wars that all ended in defeat for the Stormlands, and saw many homes empty come winter. A foray into the Blackwater was shattered by [[House Vance|Vance]] and [[House Darklyn|Darklyn]] forces in 103 A.I., and an attempt at fighting the Yronwoods again resulted in failure two years later. With his ambitions falling flat, the Storm King fell into depression. He abdicated suddenly in 110 A.I., and left the realm to join the Night's Watch with three of his sons. The remaining sons then squabbled over their inheritance, resulting in a crippling civil war called the [[Great Stag Duel]].

After the Duel, Andals across the kingdom started fomenting dissent or causing chaos. [[House Uller]] usurped Tarth from the Blacktydes, necessitating a costly war to reconquer it. Morne was sacked, and all septs on the isle were burned. Andals were pushed to resettle on Morningside Isle, and prohibited from re-establishing themselves on the main island of Tarth. [[House Leygood]] seceded and swore fealty to Duskendale, ~~leading to a~~ war ~~that the Storm King lost, and~~ Duskendale further expanded to the ~~Bywater~~ Woods. [[House Sloane]] arrived and promptly began pillaging the countryside, and many lords failed to capture their leader, Isembard.

After the Duel, [[Beron I Durrandon|Beron the Boring]] was crowned king in 115 A.I., but Andals across the kingdom started fomenting dissent or causing chaos. In 122 A.I., [[House Uller]] usurped Tarth from the Blacktydes, necessitating a costly war to reconquer it six years later. Morne was sacked, and all septs on the isle were burned. Andals were pushed to resettle on Morningside Isle, and prohibited from re-establishing themselves on the main island of Tarth. [[House Leygood]] seceded and swore fealty to Duskendale in 128 A.I., and Beron I lost that war within eight months. Duskendale further expanded to the Baywater Woods due to his weakness. [[House Sloane]] arrived somewhere around 130 A.I. and promptly began pillaging the countryside, and many lords failed to capture their leader, Isembard. Their work would continue for years until Isembard's host moved on to other regions, having raided the Stormlands to his contentment for near two entire years uncontested.
