The **Glover-Woods War** is a series of major conflict in the Wolfswood between House Glover and it's allies against House Woods's ruthless and reckless rule. The war started after House Glover was formed by House Stark in order to restore order in the Wolfswood.

## Prelude

Much like the Starks and Boltons, the Glovers and Woods have held a grudge for centuries, although this wasn't always the case. Within in the Wolfswood lies a great opportunity for House Glover and sought to bring peace and unity to the fractured Houses inhabiting the region. While, House Woods wants to maintain the chaos in order to exert power over the lesser Houses namely House Forrester.

House Glover therefore intermarried into House Ryswell in order to gain their aid and their bannermen such as the Glenmores and Ryders. House Woods married with House Bole for support. Also threatening the Glovers by trying to swear fealty to the Boltons.

Soon after, House Glover started building their armies, purchasing weapons, and crafting siege weapons in order to put an end to House Woods' tyranny. House Woods therefore kidnapped one of Lord Glover's sons, angering Lord Glover and starting the war.

## The War

House Glover started laying siege to Silverglade and managed to capture the castle with little casualties to both sides, Lord Selwyn Elliver therefore bent the knee and swore fealty to House Glover and marched with their army. Lord Artis Woods marched his own army comprised from Houses Norton and Mollen. The Battle of the Wolf's River was the first battle lost by House Woods - defeated by a surprise attack by House Elliver followed by House Glover's superior numbers.

After the battle, Darren Mollen was captured. He swore fealty during his time as a hostage and was ransomed back to his keep and assembled his army to war and joined the Glover vanguard. Lord Arthur Norton, fearing that his keep would be demolished, offered his support to the Glovers and was sent to the east in order to distract House Woods' allies.

Lord Artis Woods' sanity slowly deteriorated after hearing the failures of his allies. Therefore he challenged his Lord Albus to a duel but Albus declined saying that he would otherwise fight with an army rather alone.

House Moss was sieged a few weeks later, Axel Moss resisted which led to the near-destruction of the House. House Ryder, Fisher, and Lightfoot defeated House Moss albeit heavy casualties. Leaving, House Woods with little allies.

After assembling a large host, about 8000 strong, Lord Albus Glover managed to defeat the Whitehill army and spare the Warricks another massive defeat. Artis Woods, seeing no other option but to surrender, returned Torrhen Glover and committed suicide. His son, Mathis, swore fealty soon afterwards.

House Ashwood remained neutral in the war therefore maintaining their army and waited the opportunity to claim Blackbird Hall. Houses Forrester and Greyson on the other hand decided to bend-the-knee therefore sparing their houses from certain defeat.

## Aftermath

The war finally resulted unity in the Wolfswood although at a heavy price caused by countless battles and skirmishes. House Glover temporarily became Kings of the Wolfswood until House Stark reminded the Glovers their loyalties. The Glovers soon decided to abandon their crown. The war was a few of the major conflicts in the North.

House Woods would be formidable opponent against House Glover, rebelling numerous times before agreeing to unite with the other houses.
