After defeating [[Volantis]] in {{Date|96}}, the [[Triarchy]] of Lys, Myr, and Tyrosh invaded the Stepstones to subdue outlaws and pirates living in the islands. [[Craghas Drahar]] staked out hundreds of pirates to drown, and the Triarchy annexed the Stepstones into their realm. While the Seven Kingdoms were appreciative at first of the Triarchy ending the threat of pirates, they came to resent the high tolls imposed by the [[Free Cities]] on trade in the [[narrow sea]], as well as the Lysene practice of claiming [[slaves]] for their [[pleasure gardens]].{{Ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}} 

Aided by Lord [[Corlys Velaryon]], Prince [[Daemon Targaryen]] began a private [[war for the Stepstones]] in {{Date|106}}, and he proclaimed himself [[King of the Stepstones and the Narrow Sea]] in {{Date|109}}. The Triarchy rallied by {{Date|111}}, however, allying with [[Qoren Martell]], [[Prince of Dorne]], who was wary of the Targaryens expanding into the Stepstones. Led by [[Racallio Ryndoon]], their combined forces helped turn back the tide of Daemon's conquests, and he struggled to defend his holdings.{{Ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}} 

Daemon was called back from the isles by the death of his wife [[Rhea Royce]] in {{Date|115}}, and he abandoned the Stepstones after becoming embroiling in other political intrigues in King's Landing. Five other men followed him as Kings of the Narrow Sea.{{Ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}}
