The other river lords rejected Arlan's suggestion of crowning Roderick's eldest child, Shiera Blackwood, and having her rule with his own son.[1] Arlan then decided to add the riverlands to the realm of the Storm Kings.[2] Arlan was able to plant the banner of the Durrandons on the shores of the Sunset Sea. Arlan's successors were not able to hold his gains, however.[3]
