=== The Coming of the Andals ===

==== First Century A.I. ====

Few Andals arrived in the Stormlands in the early days of their [[Coming_of_the_Andals|coming]]. Houses [[House Manning|Manning]] and [[House Pyle|Pyle]] landed on the southern edge of [[Blackwater#The Wendwater and Bywater Woods|Blackwater Bay]], [[House Polander]] settled on the Severisles in the [[The Eastern Marches|Red March]]. The most impactful of the first Andals in the Stormlands, however, was [[House Morne]], which settled on the eastern portion of [[Tarth]]. ~~Within a few decades~~, the Mornes launched a [[The Sapphire March|conquest]] of Tarth, and expelled [[House Evenstar]] from their ancestral seat. [[Galladon Morne|Ser Galladon of Morne]] named himself king, and refused to bow to Storm's End when Durrandon messengers were dispatched following his crowning.

The most impactful of the first Andals in the Stormlands, however, was [[House Morne]], which settled on the eastern portion of [[Tarth]]. In 31 A.I., the Mornes launched a [[The Sapphire March|conquest]] of Tarth, and expelled [[House Evenstar]] from their ancestral seat after a year's long war. [[Galladon Morne|Ser Galladon of Morne]] named himself king in 40 A.I., and refused to bow to Storm's End when Durrandon messengers were dispatched following his crowning.

[[The Storming of Tarth]] followed, and House Morne was ejected from the isle, with [[House Blacktyde of Tarth]] ~~taking up residence in Evenfall Hall for the foreseeable future~~. Storm King [[Qarlton II Durrandon]] led this reconquest, and his rule would see the Pyles, Polanders, and Mannings subjugated under the Storm Throne. Qarlton ~~later~~ expanded his dominion to the southern edge [[Blackwater#The Blackwater Rush|Blackwater Rush]].

[[The Storming of Tarth]] followed in 42 A.I., and House Morne was ejected from the isle after two years, with Evenstar Hall and Tarth itself granted to [[House Blacktyde of Tarth]]. Storm King [[Qarlton II Durrandon]] led this reconquest, and his rule would see the Pyles, Polanders, and Mannings subjugated under the Storm Throne. Qarlton expanded his dominion to the southern edge [[Blackwater#The Blackwater Rush|Blackwater Rush]] by 56 A.I.

The Storm Kings saw relative prosperity for a time after this. They ~~exchanged border raids with~~ the [[House Yronwood|Yronwoods]] ~~occasionally~~, and ~~joined an effort to oust~~ [[~~House Risley~~]] ~~from~~ the [[~~The Reach|Reach~~]]. [[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.

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]].
