Three years of war followed, in which despite being the lone Andal commander in a sea of First Men, Colemon led and commanded many of the early battles, including the great victory at Maplepress. With the war eventually won, the deal was honored by King Galayn, and Colemon received the Garden Coast for him and his heirs to rule. The victory was short-lived for Colemon however, as his advanced age did not take well to the years of conflict and marching. When he left Highgarden to occupy his new seat, his health began to rapidly fail, leading to his son Jerion taking up the duties of Lord, even if Colemon was still the Lord in name. | Three years of war followed, in which despite being the lone Andal commander in a sea of First Men, Colemon led and commanded many of the early battles, including the great victory at Maplepress.

The condition only worsened throughout the years, leaving him bed-ridden and in constant pain, despite the immense efforts of his personal physician. Eventually, his left eye became blind and not a year later, the right followed suit. It was in this decrepit state that Colemon finally passed from the world, dying on the ninth day of the ninth moon, 88 A.I. | |||
In his last years, an orange cat, which was subsequently named flame, found its way into Colemon's chambers. It laid by him for years as he withered away painfully, and though it would leave at times, it would always come back to him. When Colemon died, the cat disappeared, never to be seen again. | |||
In the end, Colemon had succeeded in finding for his House and his people a new land to call their own. The Garden Coast was a land of fields and rivers and good harvests, though Colemon himself would not have the chance to enjoy any of it. He was survived by three of his four children, though he only knew the fate of one of them for certain, that being his second son Jerion, who officially assumed the Lordship of the Garden Coast after Colemon's death. | |||
