### **The Great Western Reaving 312AC**

* Initial Invasion:

Euron ordered three strikes in Lannisport for the initial invasion. They were to attack at night, under a cover of fog and a missing moon. These initial assaults were successful and in addition to harrying raids on the coast, the westerlands heard the screams of the bleeding city.

With these victories, and the distance between holds, the Ironborn began to threaten other castles in the West.

Unfortunately, that did not last long. Western armies began marching almost immediately, pushing  the ironborn back by into the sea. The Ironborn did not leave empty handed though. Lannisport: the city of riches and women, would remember the screams for years to come.
