The Harvest War

## Background

The **Harvest War**, sometimes called the **Outlaw Incursion**, was a small-scale conflict between House Selmy, led by Joseph Selmy, and the outlaw gang known as the Band of the Wheatwood. For nearly 20 years, Harvest Hall had been allowed to fall into disrepair after being raided and looted by Marauders. Eventually, Lord Joseph decided to return to Harvest Hall and restore his Family's fiefdom to its former glory. He cleared out a handful of Outlaws who had been living in the ruins of Harvest Hall and began its reconstruction alongside his sons Barristan Selmy II and Owyn Selmy. Enraged by a resurgent House Selmy, the Outlaws of the Selmy lands gathered together and formed the Brotherhood of the Wheatwood with a man by the name of Brennan Stormfist becoming its leader. Brennan launched numerous raids into Selmy lands, which officially started the war. Although the War was thought to have ended with the capture of Brennan Stormfist at the Battle of Wheatwood, his escape in The Wheatwood Incident would reignite the War.

* The Outlaws, angry about their expulsion, form a gang called the Band of the Wheatwood led by Brennan Stormfist and initiate the Siege of Harvest Hall to attempt to drive House Selmy from their newly regained lands.
* The garrison of Harvest Hall, led by Lord Joseph, defeat the besieging outlaws and pursue their routing forces into the Wheatwood.
* The Brotherhood makes their stand, sparking the Battle of Wheatwood. Lord Joseph along with the bannermen of House Selmy crush the Brotherhood and take Brennan Stormfist captive.
* The War momentarily pauses due to the capture of Brennan Stormfist.

**408 A.C**

* Lord Joseph, having held Brennan Stormfist for about a year, sentences him to join the Night's Watch and tasks his younger son Owyn Selmy with escorting Brennan and other Brotherhood captives to Castle Black. Surviving Brotherhood members ambush the caravan in The Wheatwood Incident, killing Owyn Selmy and freeing Brennan Stormfist.
* The War reignites after Brennan Stormfist escapes from captivity en route to Castle Black. Stormfist rebuilds his Outlaw army.
* Lord Joseph, outraged by the murder of his Son, vows to have Stormfist's head on a pike. Vortigan Baratheon sends three Stag Knights, Ser Oscar Wylde, Ser Ethan Estermont, and Ser Paxton Penrose to assist Lord Joseph.

**409 A.C**

* Joseph Selmy, along with the three Stag Knights, assemble the bannermen of House Selmy and march towards the Wheatwood in what becomes known as the Second Battle of Wheatwood. House Selmy and their Baratheon allies defeat the Brotherhood and Lord Joseph personally kills Brennan Stormfist, ending the battle in a Selmy victory.
* With Brennan Stormfist dead, the Brotherhood scatters and survivors of the battle are picked off by House Selmy. The War ends in a total Selmy victory.
