### The War of the Burning Brand - 354AC - 357AC

A war that was a direct result of the War of the Exile, where many of the routed soldiers, having since turned to banditry, united beneath the banners of Arrec of the Burning Brand, who styled himself King Arrec of the Blackwater. Much of the war was spent tracking the bandits through the hills and forests.

* Throughout this war there were many minor skirmishes, raids, and conflcits, that go unnamed. Arrec and his men operated openly from their strongholds for nearly a year and a half - from 354 to late 355AC. Following that, Arrec and his men would flee into the hills and forests, fighting all the while. For over a year conflict would simmer down and flair back up, though there were no more major battles until 357AC, when the coordinated forces of the Throne and North flushed Arrec and his men into the mountains and slew them there.

## Conflicts

The Bleeding of the Twins - a succession war between Edwyn Frey and Black Walder Frey resulting in the death of many Freys. Ended when Edmure Tully marched five thousand men to the twins and crushed the sieging army of Black Walder.

The Crisis of the Claw - a direct result of the War of the Exile, the Crisis occurred when Northern troops, still occupying Crackclaw's Point after the war, refused to withdraw. It nearly broke into full scale war between the two kingdoms before the King in the North withdrew.

The Crisis of the Nettle's Bounty - was a conflict largely in the Iron Islands and the Westerlands, that saw malcontents of the Greyjoy's rule raid the shores of the mainland in an attempt to spark a war. The Lord of Pyke arranged for a Westerland fleet to crush the rebels, then sent their heads to those lords they had assaulted.
