Titus Peake conquered the Prince’s Pass, forced House Fowler to accept his terms, and expanded his rule through sweeping reforms and settlement projects. As he developed Gold Mountain Harbor and cultivated new alliances, Jon Arryn’s proposal to bring Mya Stone to the Red Keep introduced a new political concern.

• Lora became ruler of Blackmont and vowed to withdraw support from the mountain tribes, while insisting she would not lose Titus to Ashara.
• Titus rallied the Stormlands lords for a campaign against the Red Mountain raiders, then marched through the Prince’s Pass and captured Kingsgrave, where Roland Storm killed Dagos Manwoody.
• Titus besieged Skyreach, negotiated with Doran Martell, and secured House Fowler’s surrender in exchange for reparations and land while its twin heirs were sent to Starfall for instruction.
• Titus took control of the Prince’s Pass, and the Small Council recognized his claim after Pycelle argued that the pass had historically belonged to House Peake.
• Two years later, Titus defeated a Corbray knight seeking Lady Forlorn and announced that Starpike would replace hereditary local authority with appointed officials and a larger Military Police Corps.
• Titus expanded settlements and trade in the Red Mountains, developed Gold Mountain Harbor, and used wildfire charges to improve the Torrentine’s channel for ships.
• Titus cultivated Martin Mullendore, Brandon Cuy, and Orton Merryweather while weighing the threat of displaced mountain clans and the shifting trade ties among Reach houses.
• Wenda told Titus that Jon Arryn had proposed bringing Mya Stone to the Red Keep, a politically significant move while Robert I and Queen Elia remained without children.
