Stormlands

Line 38:

In 143 A.I., the Andals attempted to seize the Hook. [[House Toyne]] and [[House Bar Drox]] invaded after defeating the Massey fleet, but within a year, the winter returned. They had invaded during the Year of the False Spring, and were forced to retreat, leaving the Hook but conquering the surrounding islands of Sweetport Sound, Longbar, and Gullet Isle. The Stormlands weathered this second, brutal winter rather well, but the Storm King relied heavily on House Konugtun's generosity, for the war on the Hook dangerously stretched the stores of Storm's End.

In 146 A.I., after the sudden death of his chosen heir, Storm King Beron I saw fit to end the independence of Greatstock after a hundred years of tradition. Fearing that the Andal lords of Duskendale would have an influence over the young lordling that ruled it, and wishing to expel the Andal [[House Follard]], the Storm King dispatched his armies to bring Greatstock into the fold. Lord Brock Peasebury was installed after the initial claimant, Samwell, died of sickness during the campaign. It took two years.

Lord Brock Peasebury was installed after the initial claimant, Samwell, died of sickness during the campaign. It took two years.

In 148 A.I., the Masseys bent the knee to the Durrandons. The pressure of a future Andal invasion, and their crushing defeat on sea, made it clear to them that their survival depended on the Stormlands.

In the same year, the Marcher lords banded together to form a united front against the Storm King, finding Beron's generosity to the Dornish refugees and enforced peace with the new Dayne kingdom an affront to their very way of life. They crowned Mace [[House Caron|Caron]] their king, and marched to war, aiming to slaughter the Dornish and Sisterfolk near their lands. The [[Marcher Rebellion]] lasted for a year, after the Storm King's host broke army after army of relentless Marchers. Despite his defeat, Mace Caron was never captured, and fled. The Marcher lords were imprisoned and ransomed back to their families, and their taxes were raised for their crimes. Lord Waldon [[House Dune|Dune]], for his family's loyalty, was made lord of Broad Arch and the Valor Meadows, the title stripped from [[House Clover]] for rebelling with the Marchers. The Clovers would then on rule Cloveridge. [[House Dondarrion]] also remained loyal, despite being offered the crown by the Marcher lords. Storm King Beron I would die two months after the war's end, having grown feeble in his old age.

His successor was Storm Queen [[Elenei I Durrandon]], the first ever ruling Storm Queen. She was named his heir after the tragic death of Silas, and won the respect of the other claimants by defeating them each in single combat. She inherited a realm of peace, thanks to Beron I's struggles and sacrifices. For near a decade, she oversaw a period of stability. During this time, she mothered three bastard girls, and refused to take a husband, vowing to never marry and claiming her daughters were the progeny of the storms themselves.
