In 167 A.I., Elenei I launched her offensive to reclaim Corningstone and shatter the marcher lord [[House Mertyns|Mertyns]]. The terrain had changed, however. During the interwar years, the Green Queen had shrouded the Rainwood in a vexing fog, and the lands outside of the Rainwood along Cape Wrath and the Drench were stricken with a deadly, massive flood. The lands from Corningstone to Weeping Tower, and from Corningstone to Griffin River, became a treacherous, muddy mire. After a year of heavy fighting in this muck, Elenei I turned her men back home, and the Green Queen had won another victory against her. | In 167 A.I., Elenei I launched her offensive to reclaim Corningstone and shatter the marcher lord [[House Mertyns|Mertyns]].

With both monarchs still ruling, a realm of two crowns was forged against Andal influence and Andal invasion, but it has yet to have its first true test... Six years later, Elenei I and Gwayne V marched together on Duskendale, and shattered the kingdom. Andal vassals such as Toyne and Cargyll declared themselves independent kings from Darklyn authority, and House Dorwent swore to the Rivermark instead of Duskendale. Elenei I returned home, but died before she and Gwayne V could marry and truly unite their realms. Her death was seemingly at the hands of the gods, struck by lightning from Tempest in her own throneroom. | ||
In 180 A.I., after a council to determine the heir, Storm Queen Vika I was crowned Elenei I's successor. | |||
