Rising to prominence as a fine warrior and an even better commander in the plains of Andalos, Colemon Cafferen was given Warrior's Approach, a small plot of land with little resources and a tiny keep, in recognition of his services and prowess. Ruling for nearly twenty years there, Colemon eventually married Della, a woman of no noble roots but of fine character. She would eventually give Colemon a total of four children, two boys and two girls. | Rising to prominence as a fine warrior and an even better commander in the plains of Andalos, Colemon Cafferen was given Warrior's Approach, a small plot of land with little resources and a tiny keep, in recognition of his services and prowess.

Colemon was not among the initial wave of Andals to leave for Westeros, like the [[House Vance|Vances]] or [[House Corbray|Corbrays]]. When Colemon left Andalos, it wasn't entirely out of his own choice. But, with his people migrating away en-masse and being powerless to stop it, by 65 A.I. Colemon ultimately decided that his time in Andalos was close to its end. Colemon's eldest son, Qyle, his natural heir, thought the idea terrible, and he stubbornly refused to leave. Accepting this without any complaint, Colemon and his second son Jerion began their preparations to leave for the west. | Colemon was not among the initial wave of Andals to leave for Westeros, like the [[House Vance|Vances]] or [[House Corbray|Corbrays]].

The journey lasted over twenty years, throughout which Colemon had met with three different Kings. Della eventually passed away, though Colemon didn't seem outwardly saddened by it, as her pained wailing through the nights would finally end. Meetings with King Aldhelm [[House Darklyn|Darklyn]] secured the initial landing of the Cafferen peoples, though initial attempts to find land [[Riverlands|in the Rivermark]] ended in failure, as, delaying his departure for much longer than other Andal Lords, there was simply no land left to give by the time he'd arrived. Directed south by [[Armistead Vance|King Armistead Vance]], Colemon went with his people to the Reach. | The journey lasted over twenty years, throughout which Colemon had met with three different Kings.
