Desertion of Stafford Florent

The Desertion of Stafford Florent was the destertion, then skirmish, of Ser Stafford Florent to his maternal family in the Westerlands. This event was so frowned upon because the Lannisters are considered strongly opposing political enemies of the Reach.

Skirmish
As various Reach Lords became aware of the desertion, many contributed to an extinguishing force lead by Ser Dareon Ashford and Ser Gerold Chester, under Tyrell banners.

By this point, Ser Stafford Florent and his host were not far from Goldengrove. Although, not initially wanting to become part of the commotion, House Rowan believed it was their noble duty to assist their Lords, so sent a bannerless relief force to contribute. Due to rough terrain, the Rowan men arrived towards the end of the combat.

Aftermath
Stafford's host, after losing two significant figures, began to also lose hope, however Robyn's fine words of encouragement brought the morality to an all-time high. Expectations of a second attack died down as the host drew closer to the Westerland border, and further from Highgarden.

With a second attack pointlessly risky, the Reach Lords involved decided to leave Stafford's host, hoping nature's cruelty would finish the task.
