Jaime distinguished himself in the war, and in recognition of his service, King Tristifer granted him the lands of Milkstone and rule over the Godsfort, placing him among the trusted lords of [[Riverlands|the River and the Hills]]. The construction of their second castle, now serving as their primary seat, has since been completed, Steelmere Watch, a limestone keep built under the direction of Hendry, a master of architecture trained in Andalos. | Jaime distinguished himself in the war, and in recognition of his service, King Tristifer granted him the lands of Milkstone and rule over the Godsfort, placing him among the trusted lords of [[Riverlands|the River and the Hills]].

However, tensions rose when Jaime urged compromise during negotiations with Armistead Vance, something Tristifer refused. The final rupture came after a public insult from Aldhelm Darklyn, prompting Jaime to leave the Mudd cause. | |||
When war returned for the rest of the free southern Riverlands, Jaime refused the Mudd summons and marched instead against [[House Nutt]], kin to both the Mudds and Farrings. Before the campaign began, he drowned under unclear circumstances. His son Throst Farring took command but chose peace over bloodshed. | |||
