In 57 A.I., the Ironborn led an an invasion of the Arbor. After less than a year, the war was won. Urron forced Abelar Redwyne, the young lord of the Arbor, to marry his daughter, Harra Greyiron. The subsequent years saw Ironborn leading raids against the West in what became known as "The Autumn of Terror." Houses Greyiron and Greyjoy landed at the Crag and raided the entire coast from the Crag to Lannisport.

In 72 A.I., Urron would lead his final conquest, taking over the Shield Isles at the mouth of the Mander River. The war took approximately one year, though was followed by a few uprisings. Notably, Urron permitted for the new rulers of the island to choose their own "High Captain" to lead them, recognizing that their distance from the home isles required giving them a little bit more autonomy.

===Death and Legacy===

Urron Redhand would eventually die in his sleep of old age in 79 A.I. at the age of 70. His death came as something of a surprise to his close family, as he'd shown no signs of deterioration in the days leading to his death, and was still remarkably healthy for his age. Some said that he was simply too willful to allow himself to fade away, preferring to leave at once to join his God in the Watery Halls under the sea.

Urron left behind a complicated legacy. He was infamous for orchestrating the Slaughter on Nagga's Hill, but it is also impossible to deny that he was one of, if not ''the'', most successful Ironborn Kings of all time. He reconquered the Arbor, Bear Isle, Fair Isle, and the Shield Isles, overseeing one of the largest expansions of Ironborn territory of all time. He seldom lost a battle, and his deliberate choices in marriages across the Iron Islands ensured that for at least a generation, the Iron Islands would be bound together through intricately woven marriage ties.

Although he did successfully abolish the practice of Salt and Rock Kings, the Kingsmoot would make a return less than a decade after his death, when his son and successor, [[Urek Greyiron|Urek]], died in an accident in his council chamber.
