In 306AC Runa and Richter have their second daughter, Galena, named after Richter's recently deceased mother. Galena, better known as Gally, was always a very serious child. She found no pleasure in fancy jewels or elaborate lifestyles, preferring simple clothing and hair styles. She possessed an intelligence that surpassed even her eldest brother Richter III and had a natural understanding of the world, whether about people, law, warfare, or philosophy, she could comprehend the situation faster than a jackrabbit and quickly advance from there. She had more than just a wickedly clever mind, but a cunning more devious than anyone ever knew how to handle, to the point where it was joked that she would thrive in the capital of King's Landing. Unlike most, Gally could easily forgive people. She would never forget, but she was a big enough person to always eventually forgive. She believed it idiotic to waste precious life angry at others. Runa and Richter trained all of their children in the art of weapons for protection, whether they enjoyed it or not. Early on in her life, Gally encountered the bow and arrow and instantly fell in love. And then she encountered horseback and instantly fell in love. And then sword work....and then shields...and then armor...and the list goes on. She displayed rigorous self-discipline in every subject. She trained twice as hard for the same level of athleticism as her siblings, but found she was stealthier than any Draugur ever known to House Stahlhardt. Through hard work and dedication her marksmanship exceeded even her mother's. Though Gally was of average beauty, her long dark ringlets and her piercingly mischievous grey eyes gave her a powerful allure; a strange but bright beauty, like a devouring star.
In 307AC, Liam suddenly passes away and leaves the family shocked and in mourning. Glaceport is returned to Richter II’s control, where he names Runa’s biological brother Jameson in charge until Leon comes of age. Evelyn and Reidyn depart Glaceport within a year of Liam’s death. Though Evelyn and Liam had a childless marriage, the couple was very close to one another as was Evelyn to the Stahlhardt family. Evelyn and Reidyn leave House Stahlhardt of familial terms. Runa is very sad to see her now very close friend Evelyn go. The two write and exchange letters for the rest of their lives, often taking trips to see one another for extended periods of time.

Growing up Alixender idolized his elder siblings, especially Richter III, and was often found quietly trailing after him. While many fourth sons find themselves in the shadows of their elder brother, Alixender never faced that issue. His naturally bold yet carefully thought out fighting capabilities and war strategies made him an important and admired asset to his family. He's not only consistently helping his siblings, whether it be financial reports with Richter III or helping Gally with her armor, but he's also consistent in his actions. He doesn't anger or weep easily, nor is he easily amused or annoyed. He's by far the most ethical of all the Stahlhardt children, especially when deliberating about commoners. He hopes to instill a better and more efficient law system within his lifetime. Alixender is very book smart, having worked hard for his knowledge, but he is not as sharp witted as Gally, Frayr, or Richter III. Alixender grows into a very handsome man with short dark blonde curls and a tall 6'2" figure. His intensive training developed him into a very impressive knight, preferring his father's double blades over the typical sword and shield.
327 ↑ - House Stahlhardt desires to enlarge their lands and name, especially to support their younger sons. Their Aunt Lady Alixia Tyrell of Highgarden and her Lord husband Willas Tyrell (and thus the Queen Margery) encouraged the strengthening of House Stahlhardt, for their allegiance is made even better with the Stahlhardt’s being a larger power in the Westerlands.
After Tywin and Kevan Lannister died in 300AC the Westerlands fell in military strength from lack of organization. The Lordship of Casterly Rock fell to Kevan Lannister’s youngest and only living son, Martyn Lannister, at the age of 16. When Queen Mother Cersei died in 301 and the Westerlands became such low hanging fruit, the Stahlhardts requested permission from King Tommen and Queen Margery to rid the Westerlands of Ironborn raiders, vigilante hordes, and the weak leadership in Westerland Houses, in exchange for titles for their lower sons. King Tommen needed the West under better control and the Tyrells desired stronger allies in control of the West, therefore House Stahlhardt was allowed permission.
