Background
Arrec was born seventeen years before the Cataclysm, the eldest son of Ailred Durandon, brother of King Argilac of the Stormlands.
Towards the end of the Bleeding Years, King Argilac joined the great alliance against the tigers from Volantis and led a host into the Disputed Lands, marching against an army from Volantis which was attempting to retake Myr.
Twenty years later, he killed King Garse VII Gardener of the Reach, in the Battle of Summerfield. Arrec's first military action was in this battle together with his cousin Cadwyn, both squires to their uncle King Argilac. While the battle was a victory for the Stormlands in which King Garse VII Gardener of the Reach was killed, so was Cadwyn's father and Arrec's uncle Edmyn.
Harren the Black, the King of the Isles and the Rivers, was nearing completion of his massive castle, Harrenhal, and was said to be looking for more conquests. Argilac had grown afraid of Harren and so proposed an alliance with Aegon Targaryen It is believed he wanted to create a buffer zone between his kingdom and Harren's. He offered the hand of his daughter, Argella, in marriage as well as dowry lands, though, much of the lands were in fact in the possession of Harren the Black. Aegon refused and instead offered the hand of his best friend and rumored bastard brother, Orys Baratheon. Argilac took this as a grave insult and had the hands of the envoy cut off. He sent them to Aegon with a message of "These are the only hands you will receive". Aegon called his banners and took counsel with them and his sisters. Then Aegon sent ravens to the rulers of the Seven Kingdoms. He informed them that there would only be one king in Westeros. Those who bent the knee would keep their lands and titles, but those that did not he would destroy. King Argilac refused to submit. Then as Aegon landed the cataclysm split Westeros in two.
South of the cataclysm, the lords of the Reach, Stormlands, Westerlands, and Dorne were left in disarray. Barely aware of the events they had just averted, many in what was now known as Southern Westeros rallied against the Children, driving them into the sea or their graves with steel and fire. Arrec fought as a commander under his father and later as second in command to his elder cousin the charismatic Cadwyn Durrandon.
With the demise of the heads of House Lannister as well as King Mern IX Gardener in the Doom together with one of his grandsons, Argilac was moved to betroth his daughter and heiress Argella to his own nephew Cadwyn, naming him his heir. Following the death of King Argilac shortly after from unknown means - popular stories blamed the Children, but someone whispered it was Cadwyn himself - it was Cadwyn who declared himself King not just of the Stormlands but of all Southern Westeros and spearheaded the charge against the Stormlands' enemies. Rallying support from those loyal to him in the Stormlands and those who had fought with him against the Children, King Cadwyn began a campaign of unification in southern Westeros. Marching against the Gardeners, he met them in battle near Highgarden, killing King Edmund Gardener, King of the Reach and Lord of Highgarden and his eldest son and heir, Prince Garlan Gardener. Approaching Highgarden, Cadwyn was challenged by the late King Edmund's younger brother Prince Gawen to single combat with the castle and city as the prize. When Cadwyn defeated and killed Gawen, Highgarden surrendered to his forces.
Stirred into action at Oldtown, the High Septon, who refused to see a kingdom bound together by subjugation and bloodshed and with the growing support of those faithful to the Seven, the High Septon created the greatest military order the Faith had ever seen.
Eventually he defeated the armies of King Cadwyn, sacrificing him in an attempt to appease the gods.
Arrec's father Ailred, the youngest brother of King Argilac, now declared himself King of the Stormlands, but the High Septon went one step further declaring himself King of Southern Westeros forcing Ailred to kneel to his authority. While Ailred was confirmed in his position to prevent further bloodshed, he publicly gave up the Stormlands Crown to the High Septon in Oldtown leading to some to derisively nickname him Ailred "Half King" or "the King that nearly was."
Brooding on his family's losses Lord Ailred 'Half-King' returned to Storms End with the intent of returning his family to the power it once had. To strengthen his own family's claim and to avoid any other possible claim to the Stormlands, he forcibly betrothed his niece Argella to Arrec his eldest son, despite the now Royal Septon's opposition due to another candidate he had in mind. Not wishing to bleed his new realm further, the Royal Septon grudgingly accepted the fact of the marriage. Ailred began building a great city of their own, north of Storm's End named Durran's Dawn. With the Crownlands gone, the weather that once made Shipbreaker Bay terrifying to sail have now made Durran's Dawn the most successful trading port in Southern Westeros, overshadowing even the great Lannisport.
With the death of Arrec's mother in 5 AC, his father Lord Ailred attempted to secure his southern border by marrying the eighteen year old daughter Eymma daughter of the Lord Manwoody whose domains lay at the northern end of Princes Pass. Originally betrothed to his second son Erich, Lord Ailred took one look at Eymma and decided to marry her himself. In the next four years Eymma bore Ailred two sons and was pregnant with her third, when Ailred suddenly died of heart failure - some said while in bed with his new wife.
At age 27, Arrec became the second Lord of Storms End and Lord Paramount of the Stormlands.
