Clifford Cafferen

Line 30:

== Summary ==

Only just a few months shy of ruling for over fifty years, the entire mid-second century would be known for Clifford's reign. It was brutally autocratic, but also prosperous. It was beautiful, and it was terrible. It was created by the will of one man with strong beliefs, for good and ill both. Though he will forever be remembered as "the Tyrant", his name to always be reviled and hated, that did not mean that he wasn't the exact type of Lord that was so desperately needed in the Garden Coast at the time. When he ascended to the position of Lord, religious tensions were strife, the economy and military were in shambles, and the Lordship was still in grave danger of total collapse. Clifford fixed all of it with both his own immense administrative skill and his harsh vision for what the future must look like. By the end of his reign, though he was hated by his people, the economy and military were stronger than ever before, the succession secure, and the diplomatic connections widespread. When he died, it was truly the end of an era, and everyone in the Lordship knew it, even if many celebrated it.

Clifford was succeeded by his eldest son, Sefton Cafferen, which occurred smoothly and without any opposition.
