Attack of the Whitehills

WIPThe Attack of the Whitehills was a major military conflict, concerning House Whitehill's rebellion against House Bolton and House Stark for the North, and then House Dayne for the crown. Fighting took place in the North, the Riverlands, and the Crownlands. The war lasted from 276AB-284AB. The war led to the defunction of Houses Stark, Bolton, and Whitehill and the consolidation of House Dayne's dynasty.
== Prelude ==
The realm was facing one of its longest periods of inactivity. There were few houses, with little competition facing the incumbent crown, House Dayne, who had managed the carve an unopposed dynasty, after the removal of House Brightstone during the Daynish War.
Despite this, some former Brightstone loyalists still remained bitter, with many choosing to travel North and fight for the rebellious Lord Ludd Whitehill, or cofyre. Lord Ludd had recently claimed the North from House Bolton in 276AB during the Battle of the Eastern Wolfswood.
Many people were also resentful of House Dayne and their establishment, due to the fact that King Beric II Dayne, or N7TT, the first king of the dynasty, was recently exiled for exploiting. This had ignited tension with House Baratheon declaring their own rebellion, which later subsided.
== 'King' Ludd Whitehill ==
After a period of stagnancy and peace and two years after House Whitehill had claimed the North in 278AB, Lord Ludd declared his intention of becoming the new king, asking all lords to join the rebellion. The new King Vorian I Dayne, or PhoenixReacher, later replied by declaring war on Whitehill.
== The Fight for the North ==
King Vorian's initial plan was to rely on his ally, Lord Robb Stark, or Decamper, to take care of the Whitehill threat. This plan initially seemed fine, with House Stark outnumbering a Whitehill defender garrison during the First Siege of Winterfell in 278AB.
