Stormlands

Line 32:

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, [[Beron I Durrandon|Beron the Boring]] was crowned king in 115 A.I., but Balder continued to call himself king in the Slayne. Beron marched on the Slayne with the full might of the Stormlands, and returned it to the fold in 120 A.I. Afterwards, 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, with many lords failing 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.

In 130 A.I., the Yronwood kingdom collapsed, and [[House Dondarrion|Lord Harras Dondarrion]] moved to secure the Stone Way. He held it for only a year, and was forced to return it to the Wyls after intervention by [[House Dayne|King Dagos Dayne]]. The Durrandons had no hand in such a conflict, for their attention was fixed firmly on the Blackwater and vengeance against House Leygood. The Stormlands assembled a coalition to break Duskendale and return it to a first man king, Ormond Darklyn. From 132-136 A.I., Stormmen, Reachmen, Rivermarkers, Rivermen, and Duskmen pushed each other back and forth over the Blackwater Rush. The deadliest war the Blackwater has seen in generations filled the Rush with so much blood that it ran more red than black, and the greater war goal was abandoned. The Durrandons settled for the return of the Baywater Woods, a costly victory that left Beron I feeling hollow.
