When the Andals came in force, about a century after the great defeat, the Kingdom of the Rock changed considerably. Firstly it became revealed to the Lannisters that Lann the clever was an Andal, and was acclaimed even the [[First-Among-the-Andals]] by more recent Andal visitors. The subsequent diplomatic and military victories of the Rock were attributed by the Lannisters to the reopening of [[Lann's Sept]]. Though the might of the Ironborn waxed greatly in this era, so did the might of Casterly Rock. As the Ironborn reavers descended upon the West with a fury not seen in centuries, the Westermen of the coasts, unified under House Lannister, suffered greatly despite their best attempts to mount a resistance. This heavy militarization, a consequence of their fear of the seas and those that rule them, was the seed of Casterly's Rock recent rise. | When the Andals came in force, about a century after the great defeat, the Kingdom of the Rock changed considerably.

King [[Loreon V Lannister]] and the Red Queen [[Elsa Reyne]] oversaw the beginning of the Rock's reversal in fortunes. In the era of King Loreon V, the Crake Kings bent the knee, the Foote Hills were brought under the Rock, the Silver Hills were conquered, and tensions with the Reach itself reached a boiling point. The [[Seven Years' War]] that followed saw the demise of King Loreon V, and the beginning of the reign of King Tyrion I. Victory over the Reach was followed by the conquests of [[Denslane]] and [[Ashmark]], bringing the Kingdom of the Rock to its greatest extent in history. | King [[Loreon V Lannister]] and the Red Queen [[Elsa Reyne]] oversaw the beginning of the Rock's reversal in fortunes, despite a fractious political situation resulting from Loreon's own desire to be seen as a woman.
