The Corsair War was a war fought in the Stepstones, between the Corsair King and the King on the Iron Throne.
Prelude[]
In 313AC The Corsair King invades the Stepstones, claiming it as his new kingdom. He forged an alliance with King Renly Baratheon of the Iron Throne, legitimizing his claim.
For a decade the Iron Throne and the Stepstones maintained an uneasy truce. In 323AC The Corsair King demanded greater tribute from Iron Throne ships passing through his waters. Renly refused.
War[]
A moon later, Greenstone was raided by pirates. Lord Estermont survived but the Corsair King warned more attacks would follow. Renly ordered the Redwyne Fleet so sail for Sunspear. He ordered Martell Spears to amass and sail. Then he boarded the Royal Fleet and sailed.
As Renly sailed down the coast he came upon another raising group. After a small skirmish the raiders were sent into a retreat. Renly ordered a full pursuit. Meanwhile, Redwyne and Martell marshaled their forces and sailed for Bloodstone.
Renly found the raiders not sailing for the Stepstones, but Ghaston Grey. Renly pursued despite warnings not to. He was ambushed off the coasts by a larger fleet. However, Montereys Velaryon, the Master of Ships who sailed with Renly, was able to keep the fleets together and win the day.
Redwyne and Martell arrived on Bloodstone, landing troops and moving inward fast. The pirates dug in like rats making every island a hard fought battle.
After defeating the fleet at Ghaston Grey, Renly and his forces sailed for Bloodstone, they took the island from the North, where Redwyne and Martell had landed from the South.
Over a year-long campaign the two armies worked their inwards until the island was captured. From there they began an island hopping campaign, ripping through the pirates until all of the stones were under King Baratheon’s control.
Aftermath[]
Rumors spread that the Corsair King escaped into the wind, but they are unconfirmed. The Stepstones remained under the control of the Iron Throne for around twenty years, the king appointing lords of the Stepstones to rule them.
