The Field of Fire was the pivotal battle in the Wars of Conquest. To face the invading Aegon the Conqueror in open battle, Kings Mern Gardener of the Reach and Loren Lannister of the Rock combined the armies of their respective kingdoms, summing a total of sixty thousand men.
However, Aegon the Conqueror unleashed his three dragons against the enemy army. Four thousand men burned alive that day, including King Mern himself. Recognizing both the threat and opportunity, King Loren bent the knee to the Targaryen warlord.
With the death of King Mern, House Gardener, which had ruled the Reach since the time of the First Men, became extinct. Loren Lannister, however, was appointed Lord Paramount of the Westerlands and Warden of the West.
