House Cafferen

Line 8:

The eldest son of Colemon remained in Andalos, as did his only two daughters, as Qyle refused to leave and the daughters were already married. After nearly twenty years of travel, through which the Cafferens stayed in three different Kingdoms, the House eventually settled in the Garden Coast, a sizeable land in the southern region of the Reach Kingdom, in 84 A.I. This was due to a deal struck between the Lord Colemon Cafferen and the King Galayn Gardener, which both sides honored.

Yet almost immediately, the Cafferens dealt with many issues upon their settling of the Garden Coast, the most pressing of which was Ironborn raids on Oldtown and the rapid [[disintegration of the Cafferen military]]. Even as these threats remained, as the years passed, and a new generation of Cafferens took hold of the Lordship, yet more problems would arise. Increasing religious tensions between the Andal settlers and the Reachman native population, spurred on by many members of the Lord Cafferen's noble council, would spawn the rise of several zealous, Seven-worshipping, bands of brigands and bandits who terrorized the countryside. The Cafferens, unable to effectively deal with such a threat, thus allowed the problem to fester until it exploded and engulfed both the Garden Coast, and House Cafferen, in a severe crisis.

[[The Horrific Night]], which occurred in 139 A.I. was the consequence of such tensions, an event which nearly succeeded in its aim of causing chaos and religious upheaval in the Garden Coast. Fortunately for the Cafferens, the revolt that night was dealt with swiftly and with vigor. Under the rule of the Lord Clifford Cafferen, reforms were then made, aimed against the peasantry, which would hamper their ability to rise against House Cafferen again, at least with the same ferocity as they had before.
