The next Magnar of Dunstonbury and the Roseroad was Matthew's first son, [[Tanton Manderly]]. His first act as Magnar was the creation of the Merguard. After King Garth's unfortunate death at the tournament in Ashford, and Gwayne's coronation he oversaw the return of half of the lands stripped from House Manderly after the war of the White and Green, namely the keep of Sagecrown. Garth vowed to return the keep of Florynn as well, but King Gwayne wasn't sure of Manderly loyalty yet. The Manderlys should show their loyalty soon. Coming in to reinforce Gardener troops, Dunstonbury's men were vital in repelling an ironborn raid led by the [[House Greyjoy|Greyjoys]] on the northern Reach, after the reavers had sailed up the Mander.

In his twilight years, Tanton focused his time and efforts on building a vineyard in Dunstonbury, with knowledge and seeds provided by the vintners of the Garden Coast, famed for their Pyment, a mix of mead and wine. This led to his son Wilfryd essentialy taking over the duties of Magnar at only 16 years of age. Betrothed to Alyna [[House Crane|Crane]], daughter of the Lord of Red Lake, Wilfryd was skilled in diplomacy, similar to his grandfather Matthew.

Tragedy struck [[House Manderly]] during the winter of 163 A.I., when Magnar [[Tanton Manderly]] drowned in a flood of the Mander before any “Merman’s Gold” wine could ever be made. And in an even crueler twist of fate, only a few months later during the spring of 164 A.I., Magnar Wilfryd’s life was cut short by a servant’s blade, which was ruled as a tragic accident.

Eddison also took part in "The First Kingdom's" war against the Kingdom of [[Duskendale]] (The First Kingdom was a temporary union between the kingdoms of the Reach and the Stormlands). The combined forces of [[The Reach]] and [[The Stormlands]] under King [[Gwayne Gardener]] and Storm Queen [[Elenei Durrandon]]'s command quickly overwhelmed the Darklyn King's army, forcing them to surrender and pay tribute before the [[Dun Fort]] was sieged.

After his firstborn son Garland passed eleven summers, Eddison sent him south to be fostered and educated in stewardship by Lord Clifford Cafferen of the Garden Coast—the same man who had gifted Tanton the seeds that birthed Dunstonbury’s vineyard. At Beachcastle, Garland learned administration, trade, and the Andalic tongue, as well as reading and writing. Ser [[Sefton Cafferen]], Clifford’s eldest son, instructed him in swordsmanship, while Clifford’s daughter Norella shared both his lessons and his heart, their marriage arranged in time.

Garland returned home to Dunstonbury at sixteen years of age, now a skinchanger like his mother, yet also a knight of the Seven, having taken vows in Beachcastle’s sept in a moment of desperation while struggling to master his skinchanging ability.
