Editing A Feast for Crows (section)

=== On the Iron Islands ===
Following the death of King [[Balon Greyjoy]], a [[kingsmoot]] is summoned by [[Aeron Greyjoy|Aeron Damphair]], Balon's youngest brother and the most respected [[priest of the Drowned God]]. With [[Theon Greyjoy]] a prisoner of the [[House Bolton|Boltons]] at the [[Dreadfort]], the strongest candidates are Balon's brothers [[Victarion Greyjoy|Victarion]] and [[Euron Greyjoy|Euron Crow's Eye]], who has just returned from reaving in the east. [[Asha Greyjoy]], Balon's daughter, also tries to claim the [[Seastone Chair]] in spite of her sex. The [[kingsmoot on Old Wyk]] is deadlocked between the three until Euron reveals his plan to seize control of Daenerys's dragons through the use of magic and so rule Westeros. The moot crowns Euron king, and Asha disappears with her ship northwards. Aeron, who considers Euron ungodly, also leaves to gain popular support against him. 

Euron launches an ambitious campaign against the [[Reach]], sending ships under his brother Victarion to conquer the [[taking of the Shields|Shield Islands]] and raid the coast. Initial appetites for plunder are sated by the raids in [[Westeros]], however, and support for Euron's trip across the [[narrow sea]] and his hold over the ironmen dwindle. He realizes that he must remain and consolidate his control. Victarion agrees to go to [[Slaver's Bay]] and deliver Euron's marriage proposal to Daenerys. However, Victarion hates Euron for sleeping with [[Victarion Greyjoy's third wife|his third wife]] and decides to get revenge by courting Daenerys himself.
