House Cafferen are a House of Andal origin who landed in the Reach and gained land through King Galayn Gardener. Their seat is Beachcastle.
History
House Cafferen originates from the Lord Colemon Cafferen, who rose to prominence due to his many battles in Andalos and ruled the small territory of Warrior's Approach for the majority of his early and middle life. Spurred on by the mass migrations of his own people, which he was powerless to prevent, the head of House Cafferen, Colemon, and his second son, Jerion, left Warrior's Approach for a new life in Westeros.
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 over 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. 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, ss 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.
