After some negotiations, a deal was struck then with the King Galayn Gardener, where Colemon and his people would help him invade the Arbor, taking it back from the Ironborn who had seized it. If victorious, Colemon and his people would receive the Garden Coast, a set of lands in the southern portion of the Reach. Colemon and his people then moved to Oldtown, to prepare the invasion, where Colemon had his son and heir Jerion wed to Olanne [[House Hightower|Hightower]] as he prepared to honor his end of the deal. Soon after the deal was made, however, it was altered. | After some negotiations, a deal was struck then with the King Galayn Gardener, where Colemon and his people would help him invade the Arbor, taking it back from the Ironborn who had seized it.

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.
