As Andal incursions mount, Lord Cedric Mallister strives to prove that House Mallister’s loyalty and valor alone secured their lands. A seasoned warrior and steadfast bannerman, Cedric has long stood as a pillar of support to King Tristifer IV of House Mudd, with whom he shares a deep and enduring friendship.

Cedric fought with distinction during the [[Clash of Six Kings]], standing alongside King Tristifer IV Mudd in defense of the River and the Hills. | ||
However, the relationship between Cedric and Tristifer later soured when Roslin fled to [[Armistead Vance]]’s court after suffering mistreatment at the hands of her husband, King Bastion Mooton. Armistead took Roslin and her children as leverage, offering Tristifer a grim choice: spare Roslin’s life and that of her children by halting any future aggression, or continue the war and see them executed. With Cedric’s reluctant consent, Tristifer chose war, but the decision strained the once-strong bond between the Mallisters and House Mudd. Though Cedric’s son and heir later married Rowena Mudd, a princess of House Mudd, the former closeness between the two houses was never fully restored. | |||
