The Capture of gold mines in the Westerlands takes place in 299 AC during the War of the Five Kings.

Prelude

In order to draw Lord Tywin Lannister into the westerlands and away from the riverlands, King Robb Stark launches an invasion of the westerlands, smashing a new westermen host at Oxcross. Following his victory he divides up his force to launch further attacks upon the westerlands.

Seizure

Whilst Lord Rickard Karstark and Lord Robett Glover raid the westerlands coastline and Lady Maege Mormont leads thousands of cattle back to Riverrun, Lord Greatjon Umber is sent by Robb to capture several gold mines in the westerlands in order to hurt the Lannister's wealth. Castamere, Nunn's Deep and the Pendric Hills are captured and held until Robb's withdrawal from the westerlands.[1]
